[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the short term, move her to the basement on an inflatable mattress--take back your bedroom.  If you don't want her living with you longer than she already has, I wouldn't do a lot to fix it up.

Give your mother a deadline of when she needs to move out.  Make it realistic--6 to 8 weeks.  She can find a place to rent a room.

If she's been living with you this long I hope she's been kicking in for utilities or at least helping with the housework/kids.[/quote]

It's the going up and down the stairs in the middle of the night to use the bathroom that keeps us from doing this - we actually think it could be dangerous.

And as for utilities, no, I thought I was helping her by allowing her to save, but she gave more money to her husband. Bad decision.

Chores - limited bc she complains of low blood sugar or fatigue often and there is still food on the dishes if she washes them. Not a little.

Kids- she forgets a lot of things and does some things that don't make sense (like eating hamburger patties my DH put on the porch for our dog...an hour or so after he left them there and forgot). She can be like a mother's helper (entertaining the middle one while I am changing the younger, helping the oldest with his lessons). So, limited. [/quote]
