<p>Our neighbors - empty nesters - just opened their home to their daughter, SIL and 2 small children. The young family s underwater on their condo (which is small) and can’t sell. They are renting out the condo and moved back in with parents to save money and gain childcare.</p>
<p>The neighbors on our other side - also empty nesters - hosted their daughter, SIL and baby for 2 years in basement MIL while SIL finished dental school, studied for boards and tried to set up a practice. Their D is an OB/GYN working long hours and parents helped with childcare etc. They still do - and often overnight - although the family has moved to home of their own now.</p>
