Living with family
Question: My wife's father died a few years back, and failed to plan for his wife financially after he left. She has no marketable skills, and they were never very good with their money, so she has moved in with us. At first it was great, but now she is always sticking her nose where it doesn't belong. She rearranges the furniture, painted the kitchen without asking, and put together a "TV Schedule" so that we all get to watch our shows without interrupting each other. It is getting really frustrating, even my wife, whose mother it is, can't take much more. What do we do? We can't kick her out, she has no where else to go.

Relationships are very important in our lives and shape so much of what we do and see each day. It is very difficult to go through life without any kind of relationship whatsoever and people that live the most satisfied and fulfilled lives have strong and healthy relationships. Age can sometimes be a factor that complicates relationships and can really make life more difficult for some people. No matter what the age difference, a healthy relationship will always work out much better than one where communication is a problem.
