[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will having an extra person eating at your house really cost more than 200 a month? I am honestly asking. If it is really a financial problem for you to host her, I think you can say something the lines of, "mom, I feel bad asking this, but is there any way you can do $300 a month? We are having a rough time now in light of [XYZ]. If you can't that's ok, but if you can, it would really help us." If it is not a true financial hardship you should just take the $200 and say nothing. I would take nothing at all from my mom to live with me, but I am in a good financial place (though not rich, comfortably middle class).[/quote] I had the same question. Your mom eats all of her meals at home and the ingredients cost her more than $200? I agree its annoying to have someone take up 1/3rd of your house, but it really seems like you are stretching to make this into a net financial hit. Most of the things you want to bill her for are sunk costs.[/quote]
