[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I are in a good place, have a 3 year old DD and trying for a 2nd baby. We are 33/35 and both work full time stressful jobs.

I am finding myself rescuing my mom, again. She married an abusive alcoholic (my dad) and divorced when I was about 14. My dad ended up getting cancer, got sober, and him and I finally got very close and I was his caretaker through the very end, he passed away in May this year.

My mom has been with this "new" guy for 7 years- same exact thing. Alcoholic, dumb, no ambition and is just in general an idiot. I've put up with him and am always cordial, but everytime he gets drunk, about every other day, I hear my mom moaning and crying about it. Well, she finally decided she's had enough. They are selling their house and will make about $120k profit split 50/50. She can't afford a house in the current market, so she asked if she can live in our guest room until she figures things out.

I'm dreading it. My mother is such a nag. "Turn these lights off", "water your plants", "you get baby sitters too much", "Larlo doesn't need candy" etc etc. It's just NON STOP and has been that way forever and she isn't going to change.

My heart is soft after losing my dad, but she could afford an apartment and I'm leaning towards asking her to do that. Am I being terrible? Would you let her stay with you for X # of months?? WWYD? [/quote]
