Assessing the Family

[Skean Dhude]

I'm with MB. Just adjust what you need and what skills you need now and adapt.

Think of how she will fit in if an event happens will she be able to help, even babysitting is a help, or simply be a burden. I'm of the opinion that there is always something that someone can do although it is not always obvious. You don't say what is up with her but the fact she asked to be taken in shows she still has her marbles so there is a lot of things that she can do if it comes down to it.

In a similar way I acquired a son in law and now looking like a daughter in law I assessed them and found where they could fit in. He is very handy with his hands and a bit of a handyman and she is a chef. What can go wrong. Well, he is also an alpha male and we have butted heads before now and she is a strong lady with her own opinions but luckily not a feminist. Nothing is perfect.

You will adapt you have the right mindset.
