[quote=Anonymous]Long story short: I am 25, been taking care of my for the past 7 years with my  now $33k salary and she gets about $8k from SS. Because of her past drug usage and her current medical issue of having a colostomy bag, family members refuse to let her stay with them. I am a weekday live-in nanny and come home on weekends. I have been offered to just stay at "work" on weekends if I'd like to (I have my own suite there). Life isn't fair, but I'm at a crossroads where I'm just done taking care of my mom and I'm tired of having to work weekends to make ends meet. I don't go out, I don't eat out, don't drink coffee so no Starbucks BILL so any advice on saving $, I've been there, done that.  No, my mom can't work not even part time but she's able to at least clean up behind herself. I come home Fridays to a filthy, smell filled apartment, dirty clothes in the ONLY bathroom sink soaking of poop, junky living room, kitchen sink pilled up high. I spend Friday nights or Saturday morning cleaning just so the place can look decent while she's asleep.  I've talked with her and it's always, I'll do it later.. I don't feel good, I'm tired (from doing nothing). It's to the point where If I'm not working on the weekends, I find other places to stay because of how lazy she is and dirty she keeps the place. I'm just tired of working to take care of someone when I can save roughly $800/mo to speed up payments of student loans, car note or even take a trip somewhere (I've never been out of the USA let along off the east coast ) IDC if I sound selfish,  I'm just ready to finally live my life. I am curious how someone who may have been in a similar situation handled it.  Thanks !

PS: No, I don't know where she'll stay if I decide to end my current lease.[/quote]
