MinL has been staying with us for several weeks now, and we're almost used to one another now. It's been tough, but we have one small room that I use as a study, and she's learned not to come in and mess with my mess.
We have a futon in our bedroom. Last year we got a new mattress and cover made for it, so that guests can stay overnight and sleep in our living room. MinL complains that its too soft, so while I'm at work, she and my wife switch it for our bed, which is much firmer. After one night on the futon, my wife agrees its too soft for her too, so she decides to sleep on our daughter's twin bed, and our daughter can share the big bed with grandma. I'm OK with either. After one night, no I'm not. I don't mind my daughter's very firm matress, but I do mind the fact that her bed is a twin and too bloody small for two adults, especially one who rolls side to side as he sleeps. So I decide to sleep on the futon (where she stacks the blankets, as if it were the kang at her mother's home) and she can have the kid's bed. Not good enough for her. Next time I come home from work, the daughter's small bed is in teh living room and both the futon/kang and the large bed are in our bedroom. It seems to be working, as it's been at least 3 days since anyone suggested that I move out and get my own apartment.
