[quote=Anonymous]OP,

I'm sorry you're going through this.  I don't have any specific advice to offer you re: elder care stuff (my mom passed away and my dad is better off financially than us); however, I do have experience w/ other family members who could become big burdens if I let them.

1)  I know she's your mom but it sounds like you've allowed her to become a completely helpless child.  You already have 3 of those, and your first responsibility and duty it to them.

2)  It sounds like your mother has been staying w/ you about 9 months now?  Listen to everyone else and take back your room.  Both you and your hubby need adequate rest.  She is (I'm sorry to say) freeloading off of you and you both need your privacy and sanity to be able to handle all of this additional responsibility.  Either let her stay in the basement or in the living room.  You have worried too much about other people's comforts instead of yours and your spouse's.

3)  Start collecting rent.  Even if this is to prevent your mother from subsidizing her "husband."

4) Obviously, as others have provided some good advice/resources, move her out as soon as possible.

5)  If you don't live w/ your mom you are still a good daughter.
