@junebugmama: honestly, I would find the breakdown a little strange too and it would make me wary of what the 6 weeks living with her would be like.
-
@junebugmama: wow 2/3rds of the housing costs??? That seems a little extreme to me. What does your DH think about it?
We moved in with my mom for about 3 months while waiting for our condo to be built and we paid the electric bill, installed wifi and paid for that, and helped with groceries and cleaning of the house!
-
We would buy groceries and then send a check After we left
-
@plantains: @Mamaof2: ok well I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thought it was strange. I don't want to seem selfish or ungrateful, but I couldn't imagine charging my kids. If we lived in another state and came to visit would she charge us to stay?
-
Her response sounds weird. I'd compare that with the cost of a long-term hotel. Honestly 3 weeks isn't even like "moving in" -- that's how long our vacation visits to my family last... or longer!
-
@mamimami: That's exactly how I feel. It just was so bizarre. I could hear DH talking to her on the other line and was like what the heck are they talking about?? DH didn't really seem all that bothered or shocked by it, so I didn't want to have a reaction either, but it was hard not to. Especially when she originally mentioned it!!
-
For a couple weeks, they wouldn't likely accept much. We'd try to make up for that by paying for lot's of groceries.
If it was months we'd pay a portion of the rent/utilities, and buy our own groceries.
-
Maybe she needs financial help, and is too proud to ask for it?
I'd just pay the money to help out my parents, if they asked...
-
@mrbee: Nope doesn't need the help. However, she is a gold digger. All of her past relationships have revolved around money. I just didn't think she would do it to her own kids. She also isn't to proud to ask. 5 years ago she had a situation and asked us for $10k with no explanation.
-
@junebugmama: Not really comfortable commenting further on a non-Gold thread. Good luck to you and your family!
-
@mrbee: If I'm comfortable discussing my situation openly, then it shouldn't be an issue for others right? I have been posting about her gold digging ways since before our wedding on WB! LOL
