At what point

Is a parent's house no longer a kid's "home"?

I was reading and I've seen a lot of different opinions on people considering their parents houses still their home, on whether both houses of split parents are the kids' home and a lot of words indicating that a child shouldn't feel like a visitor in a parent's home regardless of how much or how little time the kid spends there.

So I'm just curious - at what point is it acceptable to treat a kid or a skid as a guest in house where one (or both come to that) parent lives?

So I will preface this with the fact that the hormones have made me lose my sense of humor to a large extent, at least on certain days.

So when DH saw me shaking my head the other day, he asked what was up
Me: people are just crazy, seriously, batshit crazy
DH: now what?
Me: apparently divorce isn't enough of an indication for some people to get that their SO doesn't want to be part of their life anymore
DH: okie...

So I told him about the ex that called someone's DH to come open the pickle jar. DH just looks at me for a few seconds.

Relationship responsibilities?

So DH and I are expecting our first in Sept. This of course has led to several conversation about expectations and how we want to deal with our various family dynamics in regards to our child. We are very much on the same page about things - certain people will never have our kid overnight, neither of us have any desire to participate in certain 'family events', etc.

In the realm of "you knew what you were getting into"

So many step parents get told "You knew they/I had children" "you knew what you were getting into" "You knew they/we were a package deal" if ever a complaint is uttered about step children.

Has anyone ever said this is regards to the in-laws? When people complain about their mother-in-law, FIL, or siblings-in-law, does anyone ever look at them and say "Well, you knew what you were getting into"?
