Living with your mom and family

oh i agree, 2 ummers ago i moved back in with my mother.. she needed help finacauilly and i needed to save up for a wedding cost. so we moved back in... moved ut this past winter after the holidays. My daughter acted and still tries to act like my 16 year old sister and my daughter is only 6!!! she would always say well auntie can why cant i? or whatnot.. whatever she got away with my daughter wanted to get away with...it was hard to keep her on a schedule, it was tough organizonmg things and preparation.. i felt as if whatever i did was probably wroing. and my mother ALWAYS gave in when i said no and it wasnt like shes grama spoil her and send her home HELLLO We were home!! its gonna take some time hopefully sooner than later , but we will brak our daughter from the habit of thinking like a spoiled 16 yhar old!

I agree! I know they mean well, but this is my child, and I'm the one who is ultimately responsible for him, also the one who has to live with the consequences of whatever someone else told him to do. If you constantly have other people, especially family members contradicting your rules and directions, you'll be lucky if your child learns to respect you rather than just walking all over you. Blessed Be

My mother has lived with us at various points over the years. There are some benefits, and some negatives to the situation. I think it's great for children to really know their grandparents, to hear their stories & be influenced by their experiences. At the same time though, for all the reasons you mentioned it can be hard too. If your parents opinions are radically different from your own, it can be hard to stand firm that these are your children & you have final say.

right now i am not married and i am living with my family or with mo, right now i do not thimk that, and i think this will be easy to left them and start a new family but when iwill start then i will come to know that what is worth of our family and our mother i love to be with my mother and i am close to her as not compare to father, because mother is always available at home and she loves you more than your dad

Living with your family or your spouse's family is hard. I've experienced both and couldn't stand the tensions. Thankfully, my husband and I, with our kids live on our own now. My life is more peaceful. I believe that every married couple should try as much as possible to have a place of their own instead of living with one or the other's family. Yes, kids need to grow up knowing their relatives and that is still possible even if you don't live together. It's actually more healthy because there is that feeling of excitement when looking forward to visits. Unlike seeing them everyday and feeling resentful of the irritating things they do, isn't it nicer to simply meet occasionally? Bad feelings add up and it's better not to invite those.

yeah your right ! we have the same situation right now but i'm the only girl in the family that's why I can't leave my mom alone . ...my brothers are all working abroad....sometimes it came into my mind what if we are going to separate with her but i can't leave her alone...

I have had to live with my mother on different occasions, without a child and with a child. It is very difficult to do let me tell you! I love my mother with every fiber of my being, but living with a parent after you have been out on your own does not work well lol. Two queen bees, cannot rule over the same nest. It does get irritating when constantly told how to do something you already know how to do, not to mention raising your children in that environment and being told how to do that as well. It's tough, but sometimes you've just got to live through it. Living with my mom, made me work twice as hard to get my apartment quicker. Believe me it was no walk in the park living with the warden! LOL
