Uncle Jesse was the brother-in-law of Danny Tanner, the single-father of DJ, Stephanie and Michelle on the late 80's/early 90's tv show Full House. Uncle Jesse moved in with Danny and the kids after Danny's wife (Jesse's sister) passed away to help Danny raise the children. It was only suppose to be for a few months but he stayed there for 8 years.
Why an earth am I talking about Uncle Jesse and what does this have to do with today's post title? Well, 2 weeks and 2 days from today (our moving date), I will have my own Uncle Jesse living in my house.
Ladies and Gents, Uncle Scott:
Scott is hubby's younger brother who we're moving in for a few reasons:
1 - My personal landscaper.
2 - A second boy for me to boss around.
3 - We've already had Jer's other brother live with us for a while so it's only fair to Scott.
4 - Someone else for my cats to harass.
I thought it would fun to do a comparison of the Uncles:
See! Scott is my own Uncle Jesse. Except he's not Greek and it'd be weird to have a secret crush on him.
But in all seriousness, while a tad of me is nervous about not being able to walk around my house naked, and having a young man, who is by far not neat, take over my brand new bedroom, I'm excited for Scott to move in. He's a great guy, knows everything about randomness so I'll always have someone to talk to. And really, it was me who suggested he move in.
Question of the day:
I know Little Woman is moving in her Future Mother-in-law. Anyone else move in friends/family? What were your reasons behind it? And if you haven't , would you?

Many years ago my house became damaged in a storm and my ex-wife and I moved in with her sister.
At first, it was both nice and strange - new company mixed with the awkward feeling of living in somebody else's home.
After about 4 weeks, however, the arguments started over who had eaten what, whose turn was it to do the cleaning, etc, etc.
It became so unbearable that we ended up paying to live elsewhere until our house was ready to be moved back into.
We had two spells with the in laws living with us while we were building a house for them. Each was about 3 months long.
The first went fine and I remember commenting that we'd all had a fabulous time.
The second spell was a nightmare! I think they had relaxed into being with us, and instead of participating in chores, shopping, cooking etc. they seemed to treat the whole thing as though they were in a hotel.
My advice to anyone doing this would be to have an open and frank discussion over a bottle of wine at the start and to set some ground rules.
Lee, sounds like something that is easy to happen. Would you recommend a chore board? it almost seems college-like though.
Mike CJ, great advice. I think I'll arrange for that conversation sooner than later :)
In retrospect, yes I would, do but as adults you don't really think that's going to be necessary do you?
Scott's a good kid, so it should be fine :)
Lol..I got a shout out...holla! :)
So far, so good with the FMIL..I even scored some new bathroom decorations.
We live with MIL, and will most likely continue to do so as long as she's here. It was supposed to be a temporary move when I first moved in, but life got in the way and she needs us.
Best advice I can give is set some privacy rules. You and your hubby need time alone together too!
Krissy, yes. Yes we do!
