Sign this “Mom, can we move in with you just long enough to get back up on our feet?” I’ve been on the receiving end of this plea more than a few times. These experiences have taught me that with planning, cooperation and large doses of good humor, home sharing can be a surprisingly pleasant experience. A rental contract is a must. We downloaded a sample from the internet , revised it to fit our needs, ordered a pizza, hashed out the details and signed on the dotted line. Should rent be paid? How much? When? I’ve always collected some form of rent; it allows the kids to keep their sense of pride. In lieu of cash, one child and her spouse took over the yard duties for a month; another painted the house. Childcare: Once when childcare was unaffordable, I volunteered with the understanding that the parent take the child for a long walk or car ride afternoons to give us both a break. Other times the parents took the children to day care and picked them up just as they would if they were in their own home. We also agreed that the parents would be responsible for discipline and Grammy’s house rules would be followed (with exceptions). Deciding on a date of departure and putting it in the contract adds a sense of urgency to the arrangement and gives everyone a clear objective. Pets are a special concern. I’ve always asked our children to find other accommodations for their animals, but that’s a matter of preference. Each scenario has to be dealt with individually, but patience, good humor and lots of love are tools that will work for everyone. Each day we are blessed with loved ones is well worth any small inconveniences and makes us treasure our time together all the more. —Rose Padrick Alex, MO Alyssa, NY Samantha, TN Aubrey Noel, IN Quinten, MN SEPTEMBER Click and connect to more resources instantly where you see this symbol:  2009 GRAND 11
