Chapter 1: What are the main in-law dilemmas discussed?

0.47 - 11.968 Justin

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.

0

14.451 - 14.752 Justin

Yeah.

0

15.432 - 15.852 Justin

Very good.

0

16.152 - 16.412 Justin

Yeah.

0

16.992 - 37.419 Justin

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.

37.639 - 38.16 Justin

Here we are.

38.18 - 38.78 Justin

Okay.

38.86 - 39.64 Justin

Well, yeah.

40.0 - 41.741 Justin

And our theme this tonight is Miss Morgan.

Chapter 2: How to navigate toxic family relationships?

1857.955 - 1859.636 Justin

Yeah, they didn't want to mess up their inheritance.

0

1860.256 - 1872.662 Justin

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.

0

1872.742 - 1874.083 Justin

Yeah, very true.

0

1874.403 - 1889.431 Justin

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.

0

1889.711 - 1891.832 Justin

There's a lot of ways to do that.

1891.892 - 1895.574 Justin

Yeah, and then you all stay together. I mean, that might be the plan. Yeah.

1895.908 - 1920.879 Justin

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.

1921.48 - 1941.456 Justin

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?

1941.916 - 1963.289 Justin

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.
