Mother in Law Moving In...... Oh dear...

If it comes up again, and it might, as someone else said, you need to set some ground rules. The first of which is NO SMOKING IN THE HOUSE. My smoking friends are welcome to smoke all they want. OUTSIDE. I do not allow smoking in my house by anyone, at anytime, ever. Smokers have no idea how noxious cigarette smoke is to non smokers, and it permeates everything. It is very difficult and expensive to remove the odor from drapes, rugs, and furniture.

No smoking in the house and no controlled substances in the house.
 
Yes I agree with all of you. Hopefully this won't come up again, but in the event that it does I will be prepared. I will sit down with Jamison some time this week and we will come up with a gameplan for if she does wind up staying with us. It will be much easier if he and I are on the same side if anything does go wonky.
 
If she gets thrown out again and wants to move in with you I would find out why she was asked to leave. You deserve to know if there is a problem that you wouldn't be comfortable with. This would be a good time to sit down with Jamison and work out house rules before this situation comes up again. I have a very close girlfriend in CA that has had numerous problems mostly related to drug use. She wants to come to Ohio and live with us to "Start over". We had to say no. It was a hard decision and if anything bad happens to her I will feel terrible. My husband has a federal firearms license for his business here at the house and we would lose that and probably our property if she got caught. We can't afford to take that risk. We had to have house rules for his neices. They would bring their dogs and let them terrorize my cats. They are welcome but their dogs are not. Getting things out front really eases relationships. Good luck and I hope you don't have to fwce these issues.
 
rrrmamma: We did actually finally find out why she was asked to leave, and it wasn't at all what we thought. I guess the friends she was staying with are about to lose thier home. They can't make their payments, and Leanne's friend didn't want Leanne to be there when she had to tell her husband. Pretty sad situation actually

But I guess the point is that Leanne wasn't asked to leave because she had done something wrong or was hard to live with.
