[quote=Anonymous]My mom is staying with us for a few months to recover from an injury. She is basically using the equivalent of a third of our house. She has packed up her house, turned off utilities, etc. there. Do folks think it's reasonable to expect her to contribute to our household? She has other healthcare-related expenses, and has thus offered us $200 per month to include all meals, utilities, etc. She has the equivalent of $500k in home equity, savings, 401k, etc., and will soon receive a regular pension and social security. We are better off than her salary-wise (but not retirement-wise), but a series of health-related expenses has meant that we are not flush right now. Her giving us $200 per month basically means that we'd be taking a hit every month to host her, which is money we don't currently have. I'd appreciate hearing from those who have a parent or two living with you and what financial arrangement you've come to. [/quote]
