depending on how your living facilities are set up, if she has a special room set aside, etc.. and you dont want to come clean on this particular visit..then just sit him down and say, 'i telecommute but because the camera, microphone pick up every noise, i must have total silence in the room' then hang a sign on the room--meeting in session.

Very very good advice. It wont work tho as the house we live in is a 1 bedroom condo with a loft so its kind of all open space and only 1k worth of it. I think what I'm going to have my wife do is tell him before he comes here. She roughly has till August and I think that would be plenty of time to iron this all out. Besides they are 6k miles away and that should make things just a little easier or at least make my wife feel safer in that they cant or wont be able to yell at her face. I have sat with her dad a few times and really got the impression that a inteligent man that he is will be able to understand the business side of it. I also think he will respect it. I know they would not have any problems with this if she was not working the site. IE she was helping more in the business side of things. Im sure my screwed up brain will figure out something. Heck if it comes down to it. Ill call the bro and borrow the cash for the two months needed to cover us. At least this way we can tell them she only does the business end of it. Let them think we are successful webmasters. Wait are we? I once heard that getting a pay site up and running and receiving one sale is called successful lol.
