[quote=Anonymous]OP here. My mom is 59.

She hates housekeeping, and hates cooking, and is disorganized. She has many symptoms of ADHD. Although I do not always get along with her, we get along most of the time and she gets along with DH.

She really can't afford her lifestyle, or even her condo. I agree with her that she should sell her condo. The problem with her job is that frankly, she is likely to lose it within the next 1-2 years whether she wants to or not. She's basically on probation and is phoning it in every day.

Oldest sibling is me. Next lives in same city with mom, but I don't think SIL is on board with her moving in there, though they do have a lot more space than us.

We are renting right now and will move into a new rental this summer to be closer to work and school. If it were just us, we would move into a 2BR since we'll probably buy after a year, but with her we need 3.

My sister has figured out long ago that she will need to make alternate arrangements. She's working, and this summer she'll be staying in her college town, working and taking classes. Also, my dad has successfully relaunched his business and is now in a better position to help my sister if she needs it. I'm actually very impressed with my sister - I think she has this figured out and has risen to the challenge.

I know this is a bad idea. I feel bad though. My mom really wants to come.[/quote]
