Just need to rant 😔
My husband and I moved into my parents house about 1 month ago so we can continue to save for our down payment as we plan to buy a new development within the next year and a half and it would just be too hard to save with a new baby, myself on mat leave, and paying such high rent. It seemed like a perfect temporary solution as there is a massive space in the basement for us to have our room and a nursery + our own bathroom. My parents really procrastinated getting the room emptied (as it was being used as storage space for the past 4 years), and when they finally emptied it a week before we moved in, they found a ton of water damage. They have been working on fixing it, but it is seeming like it’s going to be a lot of work and I’m afraid they aren’t moving fast enough. I’m currently 29+5 and the walls and floors are stripped to cracked concrete. My mom insists it will be done by christmas but I’m so skeptical and it has been causing me massive anxiety attacks. We have another room upstairs currently but it is not big enough for us and the baby, and the rest of the house is filled with everything that was taken out of the basement and my sister is having to live in the living room as her bedroom was downstairs as well.
On top of that, my husband is becoming very depressed because he feels like he has no privacy or anything left that’s just his own. Moving into my parents house was already a big sacrifice for him because he is introverted and really needs his own space, and now the little privacy he would have had downstairs has been taken away as well. He’s been drinking a lot more and I can tell he just isn’t himself but he’s trying to be strong for me and the baby. I’m just really frustrated and sad and anxious and I don’t know what to do.
I feel like I can’t put pressure on my family because they’ve already done so much for us, but at the same time we need to have our room and we need it to be safe for the baby - we’re running out of time
