[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are at my mom's house - the home I grew up in and where my family has lived for 50 years. Since my dad died a few years ago, my mom and my single sister who lives with her have become really eccentric. Most things are par for the course. The house is about 80 degrees upstairs- stifling. Also, I offered to buy my mom a sofa for the family room - the one with the big TV since right now she only has two cushioned desk chairs in it. She says she doesn't want clutter - that no one sits there other than her. How does a couch cause clutter in a family room?[/quote]

It's her family room.  If she doesn't want a couch in there then that's her call.  Bring clean portable chairs next time so that you'll have plenty of room to sit.  You can even buy a couple and leave them at her house for future use.  They're comfortable, lightweight and can be stowed under your bed when not in use.[/quote]

Hi there, and nope, this thread is called "Tell me what's weird about where you're staying." I'm the OP, and this was exactly the kind of story I want to hear. Take your suggestions and defenses elsewhere. Not having a couch in a family room is weird. [/quote]
