To not want to move in with my sister in law and her family

[Ghanagirl]

we are having our house extended, a l shaped to ground floor plus loft conversion. Our builders really want us to move out so they can do a quick efficient job. I agree as have 2 small kids, but finding a cheapish one bed for less than six months seems to be impossible, my DH sister has a large 5 bed about 20 mins drive from us and DH thinks we should stay with them, I know it will be a nightmare.
Her kids are a little older eat loads of junk and go to bed whatever time they want plus we are very different. I get on with her okay but we're not friends but she's always calling me to pick up her girls from school or babysit (I'm a SAHM and she works) to be honest the whole situation is making me anxious as I know it will save money but the thought of her interfering with my parenting and reporting back to my MIL makes me sick, but financially it makes sense but I'm sure she'll make me pay by babysitting etc
Opinions please ( be gentle feeling fragile)
Thanks

Could you take a "mortgage holiday" for that period and use that money to stay somewhere decent

Why move out? I know it's easier for the builders if they can just 'blitz' the placeand leave tools etc out and about, but I've justfinished an L-shaped extension tooo. I was left at one point with a gas ring and a rigged-up cold tap. Washing up ws done in the bath for about a month and we lived on microwave and takeaway meals. It can be done, it's actually quite fun (in a camping type of way) and the builders do have to cler away at the end of the day for safety's sake, but it can be done.

Just try to get out of the house in the daytime.

Another unqualified "no" from me.

Another big no here.

Have you tried putting an add on huntress saying exactly what you are after? I have done that before and had a lot if responses.

Gumtree not huntress

Spoke to SIL last night she's so keen for us to move in its scarey, ive told her that i will bear in mind her generous offer but will be looking for a small flat.
I love mumsnet, some great replies. bedgirl I like the sound of huntress might solve a few other family probs
I've managed to line up two flat viewings this evening so please say prayers chant whatever for me.

Shes probably keen because she relishes the idea of being able to control you and your DH for the forseeable future. You will also be beholden to her forever which she will love.

Hope you find a nice flat.

You know that building work always drags on - it will be longer than 6 months.

On the plus side, living with family you won't need to renegotiate contracts etc to stay for longer.

On the minus side - you don't want to live with them. So don't.

No luck with either flat today which is very depressing, we can afford about £900 a month and although we have twins a one bed would be fine. Why is it so difficult

move into a caravan park for a while or get 1 for the garden dont move in with your sil it will drive you demented
