Chapter 1: What are the main in-law dilemmas discussed?
Hello, everybody, and welcome back to this week's episode of Father Knows Something. I love it. And now you can do it. Do it again. Good. I like that bow. Yeah. Very good. Yeah.
So Jonathan was calling me today and asking me things about his car and doing some mechanics. And I was walking him through steps and I said, father knows what Jonathan? He said something. I was right. I got, I nailed it exactly what he was supposed to do. And he saw it and he goes, wow. So anyways, here we are. Here we are. Okay. Well, yeah. And our theme this tonight is Miss Morgan.
In-laws. In-laws. In-laws. We have a couple like in-laws and holidays. We are still taking some holiday submissions. So be sure to write those in if you have any of those. But I think we're going to break holidays into two parts this year. Pre-holiday dilemmas and dilemmas that come from the holidays. So it's post-holidays.
They can be as well. So keep writing in, you know, even if it's a little after holidays.
Well, because it does include Thanksgiving, technically. It begins the holiday season. And then we're going to run right into New Year's.
Yeah. So if you have any- All those holidays have issues, man. You know, pre-stuff, what you're going to do about family, New Year's. Hanukkah, Christmas, Ramadan. Hanukkah's running on the same day as Christmas. That could cause some conflict in some- In some families. In some families, for sure. So we'll see what it is. But in-laws today.
Let's go. How do I wait for the music? Number one. Who's reading? Pick a number between one and ten. Eleven. And we're going to pick a number between one and ten. You can't pick 11 if he said 1 through 10. He accepted it.
17.
Well, that wouldn't have worked. He said 11. It's the same thing. I'll kick us off today.

Chapter 2: How to navigate toxic family relationships?
Yeah, they didn't want to mess up their inheritance. And that's what... This might be something that might be considered, that if the house really isn't big enough... and it's a two-story house and he's falling. I mean, we don't know what we're dealing with. Yeah, very true.
Then maybe you might want to think of doing an addition or an ADU or something that would help in his lifestyle that will make it easier and more conducive for his mobility at this time. There's a lot of ways to do that. Yeah, and then you all stay together. I mean, that might be the plan. Yeah.
Yeah, there's a lot of families that do that. I mean, Justin, his family's kind of been talking about, you know, does his grandpa move into an ADU in his aunt's backyard? Does he get like a really, you know, no stair elevator condo? Like, what do you do? You know, and there's so many things with that. Like there's studies that show aging in place for seniors is better for them.
So there may be a deal where you guys can... pay for the $20,000 addition or new bedroom or new bathroom or whatever, and then get equity in the house. And then the house becomes yours eventually. Who knows? Whatever you want to do to work that out. But I think your biggest concern is like, how do you even start this conversation?
How do you approach it given the fact that your father-in-law, your partner's dad just got this terrible news. Mm-hmm. And probably doesn't really know what's going on yet. Are they doing chemo? Are they doing surgery? What are they doing? And so I get how you can feel like it's probably an uncomfortable time where you can't even bring it up.
I think you can if you do it in a way that's like obviously sensitive and... You're kind of removing his dad out of the equation in terms of like, grandpa doesn't need to move in with him anymore. Let's just move in with grandpa. I think if you approached it that way, again, if that's possible, I think that's very, that seems kosher to me. What do you think?
So I think just in the way this is written, we're just misconstruing a few things, not us, but just as you, the writer, just because I don't think grandfather owes you guys anything. Circumstances have obviously changed in a very serious way. And yes, it was a great offer. You know, the fact that you canceled the wedding, decide to elope and save the money. That's all still a thing.
You're still going to move in a couple of years. You're going to go interstate and that's all good. But all of that building up to the beginning of the story does not mean that just because it was offered once means it's owed to you.
No.
