    Inlaws should be routinely killed as part of the wedding celebration. Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

              I have a friend who is married, and whose wife's younger sister lives with them in their small 2 bed room apartment. My friend is from the US, and his wife and sister-in-law are Polish and grew up in Poland. He frequently complains over a beer at how frustrating this living arrangement is (lack of privacy being a major one), and how baffled he is that this apparently doesn't bother his wife at all, and in fact she expects that this will always be how things are. So, given that CP is a rather international group of people, what are other's experiences with in-laws who live with them? Is this a common thing in other parts of the world? As far as I know, this is fairly unusual in the US. People tend to leave home young (18-19), strike out on their own, and when they do live together or get married, they tend to only live as husband and wife - no third wheels in the form of in-laws, etc. ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!

              Live in in-laws can be a great help if you are "blessed" with babies / small children. It also helps if you live in a place large enough that each person can stake out their own turf.

                It is common and usual where people cannot afford the privacy.

                  Back in India this is widely accepted. But ofcourse things are getting westernized now and so this is also being frowned upon. For Indians in the USA the situation is mostly like this: Parents/In-laws visit their children for a month or two and then go back to India. This happens about once in 2 years. One of the main reason is because parents tend to get bored out here in the US with no friends and no freedom of transportation. Frankly when I was waiting to start my first job I had a 2 week preparation time...that was the most boring part of my stay in the USA.

                      I wonder how they handle privacy issues? For example, if the married couple want to have sex, is this something that's done pretty much in plain view (or hearing) of everyone else? Or is this simply a non-issue? I remember when I had a roommate, one Sunday I woke up early in the morning and kept hearing this strange mewling sound. So I got up and wandered around the apartment, looked around a bit, but didn't see anything. Thought nothing of, took a shower, read a book a bit with breakfast, kept hearing the sound, but just figured it was some strange cat outside. Went back to my room and almost ran right into my roommates psycho girlfriend, who was emerging from his room wrapped in nothing but a towel. Turns out they had been making the beast with two backs, while I, cluelessly, had been reading Graphics Gems II with my breakfast cereal! I found that rather strange, to say the least. ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire! Real Mentats use only 100% pure, unfooled around with Sapho Juice(tm)!

                        You would have hated being my roommate then. Actually people hated being my neighbour when I was with my last girlfriend. She was loud and not at all shy. As for how family living happens, I don't know really. I guess the adults keep it quiet and make sure they dress before leaving the room. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Chris Maunder wrote: "I'd rather cover myself in honey and lie on an ant's nest than commit myself to it publicly."
