Lol- I don't really see any issue here besides the fact that the wife is being a big baby about the whole issue. Crying over $1,000? If it was $50k or even $10k, i'd understand. If they have enough money to afford 2 condos, $1,000 is a small price to pay to be able to live in their parent's house for free. Think of it as a $42/month rent (less the longer they stay there). Even IF, hypothetically, the parents said that the basement is their property, who's kitchen do they use? who's parking space do they use? The whole "it's my couch" thing is such a stupid issue.
And holy fkin crap- what's wrong about the parents not wanting to babysit? GTFO and get a babysitter. They're already saving so much by being able to live at a place rent free. I think it's just a case of the wife being greedy and not being able to appreciate what the parents have done for them.
I think the whole underlying issue is that- the wife hates the parents. If she didn't, this whole thing wouldn't be such a big issue. Not everything revolves around her. If she feels it's too awkward to be around the in-laws, no one's stopping her from getting close to them and changing that.
If she's not willing to make compromises and if she's gonna keep thinking that she deserves the things she demands- GTFO and move out. No one's forcing them to keep living down there.
