My wife [24F] has said she wants her mother and/or father to live with us in our new house so that they can help her with our new baby, but I [28M] don't want that

My wife is 6 months pregnant and so we have been looking at houses because our apartment isn't going to fit a little baby, especially once it gets older and needs to have its own room. We have found a house, but it needs some renovations first. The house has an in-law suite in the basement with its own bedroom, bathroom, and little kitchen and living room area. <br><br>My wife's parents live on the other side of the country from us. My wife has just started saying that it would be good if her parents lived in the in-law suite in the basement so that they can help her take care of the baby. I don't want her parents to live in the in-law suite in the basement. My wife agrees that we could sell the house for a lot more if we continue to use the basement as an Airbnb like it is now, since the in-law suite is totally complete and turn key. <br><br>I don't want her parents living there because I don't want to start a life in a house with inlaws in the basement, it just seems like too many cooks in the kitchen kind of thing. I also don't want to lose the money we can make from the Airbnb. I told my wife the pros and the cons of her idea and she seems a little unhappy with me not wanting to accommodate her parents, but she also agreed to what I thought made the most sense. <br><br>Has anyone else gone through this? How did you handle it?
