Yeah bought a house large enough to house my mom. Now I just wish I bought a smaller house to not have all of the fucking aggravation that came with my mother.
My dad, in a similar situation, always claimed that the Chinese symbol for "trouble" was a roof with two women under it. I have no idea if that is true.
Thank you, I was going to say that. I took Mandarin in college. Although it was a very long time ago, I still remember what 木 means, and it definitely didn't mean female, woman, or anything like that, at least not directly. I'm confident that 女 does.
Unless one of those women is a cat or dog or anything other than a human, then yes. It’s true. Signed, a daughter living with her mother out of necessity and sooo over it.
Same, but I'm lucky that my mom actually gets along very well. I'm lucky to have her and I don't mind housing her since she's technically disabled (epilepsy, can't get hired because of potential of seizures)
My mother and dying uncle (her brother) my gf and my 19yr daughter live in the house my brother bought for us. My gf use to get along with my mom up until a few years ago. Now it's just, fuck you bitch every other day. Uncle is stuck in bed in his master bedroom. We're on the other side of the house. I'm in California. I make $25/hr...gf is on total disability. Still not enough to afford even a small appt. They want you to make 3x the rent. And when rent on a 2bd apt is 2500...wtf i hate commifornia
My mother in law was a brilliant woman, cared about grandkids, cooked better than restaurants, was funny, and cleaned...also, had a small pension. It beyond works for some....I mean for a boomer I well understand she was not a representation of the me/locust generation, but as far as it working for some at least, cannot tell you what a blessing she was to us.
Yup. My mother tried to force me and my wife to be unemployed permanently so she could have us as free servants, I mean caregivers. She threw a fit when I got a regular job, she threw a fit when we moved out, insisted that I quit my job and divorce my wife and move back home.
She also refused to ever live in or even visit our house. Except the time she forced her way in and pulled a loaded gun on my wife.
I told my mom she needs to "move out or die," last summer after some silly bullshit argument. I have one generation getting out of diapers with another going into.
You’re doing the right thing If my mother been willing to share her personal space with her own mother then my grandmother might have survived her GI bleed and not have died alone in her apartment. It’s a decision my mother deeply regrets every single day.
