My 4 children and I have been living in my mothers house for the last 2 years. My mother was looking to rent out the house or 3 of the rooms at the time. So when I seperated from my husband I told her me and the kids would move in and rent the hole house. After 7 month she told me she would have to raise my rent or she needed to move in. So she moved in. Their are certain things that I have found very hard to deal with living in this house. Here is a small list.

1) My mother is a pack rat. 80% of the garage and basement has been filled with her stuff for the last 10 years since she moved here. She dosnt need any of it. Also every closet in the house is filled with her stuff including my children's rooms and mine.

2) Ther are many repares to be made to the house. But she keeps putting it off. To buy stuff or do things live get the cats fixed. Pay off credit cards that sheran up when I was not living here.

3) She never cleans anythig including her bedroom and washroom and car a total wreak. I understand I'm respncible for cleaning my house and I am a very clean person. I spend hours a day cleaning. But as her house as well she should take abit of responcibility.

4) She always eats my food. If I make dinner she will eat the left overs. She will spenda small aout of money on grocerys and just eat my food.

5) She sits on the computer in her room 8 hours a day. And when I ask her if we can start going threw the closets or garage she says she needs all that stuffor dosnt have time.

Many more things fusterate me about this situation. When I bring up me moving she or her moving she ignores me. But I will have to move very soon like in 4 months. Me and my bf want to get our own place and start a life together. My mother is all for this but shethinkshe should just move in here lol.
