It will, if our experience is anything to go by. The years from 13 to 16 went by in a blur of shouting and slammed doors. The absolute nadir was when she wasn’t staying at a friend’s house as she’d told us, but ‘sleeping over’ in a house full of young lads. Fortunately the hangover she had was so bad it slowed her down for a few weeks.My daughter is 11. One day she will move out; though we’d rather have her around forever (this attitude may change as she goes full teenager…!).

@TomF living with the inlaws is alot different than having a kid come back home.
I had a similar experience to you, living with inlaws whilst waiting on a house being refurbished with a toddler approaching two and a premature new born in tow, my ex-partner didn't struggle so much, back at home with built in babysitters, I was 'okay' (just) with it until my ex's sibling threatened to 'smack' my first born, I hit the roof, it all came out, lol and the shit hit the fan.

It was indeed. However sometimes threads can go in unexpected directions.Surely though, this isn't about not wanting your family at home, it's more about not being allowed to play music at home isn't it?
Garden room, big shed?I promised that the system would not clutter the main room once it moved to a manpad, that is just the way it is, headphones is the way forward.
Headphones are one answer. I would be negotiating to get the HiFi seen as a family utility to get access and usage to it. Noting that the Hifi would still be mainly used by you…
But as for someone threatening to smack my child - the shit would have hit the fan too..!
Do you mean auctions, which are rare as the hammer is considered exchange, or sealed bids/best and final offer which is the norm these days.Boxes are down from the loft, the strip down begins.
She will be here within 2 weeks, looking forward to the day, I think though it will be long term due the lack of properties that are not an estate agents money game, she will not get involved in auctions as that is what is going on here with properties.

I see what you mean, it's been the norm in London for most of the last 20 years that houses go for about 10% over asking price, I never thought of it as an auction, just that the advertised price is not an invitation to buy at the price but an indicative price that might actually be an under or an over estimate of the final selling price. I can imagine it's very dissappointing for someone looking for their first home that sees it advertised for a price and doesn't realise that offering the price doesn't mean it will actually be accepted.Auction as in estate agents offering houses at a given price, said price is then offered in full to the seller, then the estate agents come back saying " you need to increase your offer ". No sealed bids offered sales are happening in our locality, it is estate agents taking the piss with mis-leading adverts.
