It's a few months over two years now. He graduated from BYU-Idaho in April or May or 2017, they had their daughter in June and then moved here in mid-August.
I mention them here and there in posts, particularly the foodfightfriday ones, because they end up being guinea pigs for my cooking, but I think there may be three or four where the post is at least somewhat about them. It's been a while since I've done one, though. :)
It's nice to have the grandkids around. And it's also okay to have my son and daughter-in-law around, too. Problem is, everyone has different ideas and expectations, and those clash more than I would like. Other than that, it's been good having them here.
We've been trying to help them out—we've had them contribute a little monetarily and with chores around the house, cooking, etc. Otherwise, they're supposedly were saving money. Not sure if they actually managed to do that or not. :)
Many people are doing the same here...Helping out children in this way with the hope that they can afford their own place someday. It can't be easy all the time, but it seems you guys find a little balance.
