A WOMAN MADE HER PARENTS CHOOSE BETWEEN LIVING IN HER RENOVATED GARAGE OR A NURSING HOME

She first described that she had changed her garage to a guest room, as when her children comes, they stay in there, as she said, “I don’t drive and live in my forever house with my dogs. My kids are grown up and I’m a widow. I converted my garage into a legal guest house with everything a person needs for when the kids visit. Independent washroom, kitchen, everything.”

She then explained that her parents had talked with her that they want to live with her, “My parents have recently asked me if they can move in with me. I agreed and talked to my kids to let them know that if they came for a visit the garage was taken so they would have to stay in the house.”
“My parents showed up on the appointed day and the kids showed up with their families to help get them moved in. And they actually had already arranged a hotel for one family so we would not be crowded.” She then stated that her parents had arrived on her house, as her children to help them.
“My parents were confused as to why we were moving their stuff into the garage. I told them that was where they were staying. They said that they thought they could move into my house since I have five bedrooms.” She said then the problem, where her parents had thought that they were going to live in the house.

“I explained that I actually have two bedrooms since one room is my office where I see clients, one is my private office, and one is my hobby room. The spare bedroom is mostly for my mutts. They said that they wanted to live in the house not out in the garage like Fonzie. I said it was a take it or leave it situation. If they didn’t want the garage they could move into a nursing home or something. They are upset that they are living RENT FREE in a private guest house that is fully up to code.” She then explained her conversation with them, and said to them that they could stay for free in her renovated garage, or they can go to a nursing house, and she asked for advice regarding the situation.
There were some comments under her post, that people had commented, and gave advices.

“If it’s a converted guest house that’s completely up to code I don’t see a reason that they would want to go into the house as everything you have in the house you have in the guest house too. My friend recently turned her shed into a beautiful guest house, kitchen appliances, private bathroom the works, her parents are currently living there and they don’t have a problem with it. They like the privacy and they like being close to their child.” Was one of the comments that was supporting the post owner.
“They would want to be in the house I suspect to be in the middle of OP’s business as to private and professional. OP if you aren’t in the habit of locking your exterior doors when you want privacy for yourself, client or whatever I suggest you start. And I’d tell your folks to text you first if they want to come over to your house. No response means you’re busy and they stay out. Parents should look into senior activities available to them in your community to get their own life. And truly if your parents don’t like living rent free in your guest house they can look for a retirement community to move into that may suit them better.” Was another supportive one.
