Re: Works both ways

The mother-in-law joke comes from living under the same roof, with no privacy to enjoy your beloved's company.

Easy to forget where the archetype originated, when living as a couple under your in-laws' roof is at least unusual, and counts as official homelessness if you don't at least have your own room.
