Housing Situations

Tweet

Hello everyone in myLot land! Hope you all are having a pleasant Saturday wherever you exist. My Saturday began at 7:30 AM when my daughter came in and told me to wake up so we could work on homework. Ugh! It only took half the morning to get it all done. Anyhow...housing situations. What am I talking about you ask? Well, some people are lucky and can live as just parents and their children in a home. Nowadays, this isn't the case. Blended families co-exist in homes. This can be helpful when it comes to finances. But then it can be a total hinder. In my case, my father has been living with my husband, daughter, and I since 2003ish. He moved out once on his own, but due to finances, he ended up moving back in with us. He has moved a total of four times with us when we moved. We are hoping this is our final move until our retirement, which by then we will be empty nested and parent less. Sounds sad, right? But I am waiting for the day where I can walk around my house in my skives and not feel embarrassed. My father used to act like he owned our houses, at least with the last three houses we lived in. He would get angry when we didn't jump and start cleaning house or working in the yard. Hum...he doesn't work and sits around all day doing what he wants; my husband, daughter, and I are working/in school and are gone close to 10ish hours each day. Yes, maybe I am whiny. But I am also exhausted. See my post anxiety..depression...stress to see what I mean. So does anybody else in myLot land have the blended family situation? I would love to hear what kind of housing situations are out there. It might make mine look like a gingerbread house lol.
