I will have to move

As some of you may know, I live in an apartment which is owned by my mom and pay very low rent.

Now she asked me to move back in her home, so that she can renovate the apartment and rent it out for a much higher price.

It seems like a done deal. So, I guess I will be moving soon.

Thank you for reading.

Moving can be stressful though.

It’s a clever move.
Rent it.
I get anxious with the slightest change.
I understand your anxiety

I agree. It’s probably for the best. She will get higher rent and I won’t have to pay rent living in her home she said.

Financially a win win. But a change.

That’s pretty tough even if it’s economically sound. I love my mom, she’s become a good person in her old age, but she still has traits that make her really hard to live with. Is your mom very opinionated? Does she tell you what to do a lot? If so, start now working on ways you two can have healthy boundaries. There are lots of books on it. Maybe you could check one out from the library. Having boundaries doesn’t mean being mean or rude. It’s a good thing if done right and is actually good and healthy for everyone involved.

My mom doesn’t boss me around.

She’s a workaholic and works all day and it is difficult to get her attention.

Ok. Well at least you can be an adult at her house. That’s a very good thing. It’s hard to lose autonomy. When I left my ex I moved into my moms condo. My daughter and I lasted one month, and had to find a way to move out. We couldn’t stand living there. She was all over us. It was awful.

Living with my dad would be like that. He sometimes stays at my apartment when he’s in town and it’s a real challenge for me.

Mine as well. He is also mean. Comments a lot about people’s looks. Criticizes everything.

I honestly don’t trust him.

Oh man. I don’t know why parents do that. I respect my kids and their right to make their own choices in life. I try really hard to not give unsolicited advice. I mean I gave advice when they were younger, but they’re older now.

The only 2 things I’m giving unsolicited advice on right now is to my 17 year old in regards to two things. 1) she wants to drop out of school and she’s only a junior. I’m telling her no way. A high school diploma is extremely important. And 2) she wants to adopt a puppy that’s going to grow to be about a hundred pounds, but she doesn’t want to train it to not jump up on people. She says she wants her dog to jump up. In my opinion, she shouldn’t be allowed to have the dog unless she agrees to train the puppy to not do that.

I live with my very old father and it’s very challenging as well.

I don’t understand the foreign western society. If a mom takes rent from her son.
I think for my mom that all of her property is mine and my brother, we can take now as her wise and all after her.

My father always comments about people’s looks too including mine that I’m fat etc.:grin::crazy_face:

I hope you will be happy @Jonathan2 .
If you get more money that could be a great thing.

Change can be difficult but it’s change to a familiar place and person.

Best wishes to you on your move.

I agreed with my mom that I will move July 1st, so I still have 2 months. That should be plenty of time to prepare and get used to the idea.
