[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like it is not a good idea.

[b]Financially, I would expect her to not maintain employment or even get a job once she moves. [/b]I would guess she would just want to sit at home all day or do her own thing and be filled with excuses. Sounds like she will be a burden for you financially and with an extra person to clean and cook for. I would also worry that she starts to battle you on the childcare afte awhile.

Also, think about daily living with her. Sharing a shower, would she leave dirty dishes around, insisting on watching her shows, etc. Would you and your DH end up fighting more? Would you be resentful of your mother? And after a few years of realizing it is not working would you feel comfortable kicking your unrmployed mother out of the house?

I know I sound really negative about it but from your description I just can not see it working. I think having a less than ideal relationship with her to start with will only accelerate the downward spiral.

I think you should say no for your sanity, finances and your marriage.[/quote]

Here's the thing, this lady won't adhere to any requests made by her daughter.  You can "expect" all you want but it won't happen.

OP - please don't do this.  You know you will regret it.  We can all tell by your posts.  You're mom is a grown up, she can figure it out for herself.[/quote]
