So when I was pregnant with my last baby my mom moved in with me. She hated her apartment and all the bills she had to pay. She’s on disability for mental issues and can’t work so her income is limited. At the time I had a 8 year old a 3 year old and a 6 month old baby. I was 4 months pregnant with my last baby. We all thought it would be great for everyone since she wouldn’t have to keep her apartment and pay so much money each month and I would get help around the house and with the kids.

Well at first everything was great. She helped a lot. And then she started getting overly mad at the kids. Screaming all the time and just being pissy in general. Then I went back to work and she hated it. Was always mad and complaining about me working to much. Saying that my husband needed to be home on weekends so she wasn’t “stuck” with all the kids. He makes more $ on weekends so that wasn’t gonna happen. Then she got sick and had to have open heart surgery. From October to just this month she has been sick and recovering. I had to take care of her and my 4 kids. Which wasn’t easy but I did it. I had to quit my job to take care of her and also cuz I didn’t have a sitter anymore. Paying someone was too much $ and I would be basically be working to pay for daycare.

Now she is all better. Healed up cleared by here drs to do normal shit again. But she still throws a fit if she has to watch the kids. If we leave for more than 2 hours she starts texting and calling asking how much longer . Gets mad when we ask to leave. Asks snotty questions like why does it take 2 people to go to the gas station? And I’m like because we would like to have that 20 mins alone together even if it’s just a drive to and from the gas station. She stopped doing laundry and cleaning up. And she screams at my kids all the time. She over reacts to everything!! Like today she screamed at the top of her lungs like a child because my one year old spilled her soda. When I heard her freaking out I thought someone was hurt her reaction was that bad. She is always screaming at them to get out of her room and slamming the door closed. She leaves things out the kids can’t have or shouldn’t have and then gets mad when they touch it. She has left her meds in reach of my kids and both my 4 year old Nd 2 year old have gotten it. She called my one year old a little bitch because she cried to much and didn’t listen. She argues with my 9 year old all the time and is very mean to him. She talks so bad about my kids.

She pays us 200$ a month to help out with utilities and food. That’s it! And we bought her a car!! She complains about paying that much which is cheaper than just here rent alone before. She has cable in her room and we paid to have a door installed on her room since it was an office before. All she was supposed to do was help out with cleaning a little I still do the majority of it. All she mainly did was laundry and dishes. I did everything else. Including cooking for everyone. Now she does nothing sits in her room all day and screams at my kids. If she comes out at all she instantly starts yelling at them. If they come in her room she throws them out and screams. I don’t know what to do. But I can’t keep hearing her yell and over react to everything. Someone leaves a light in and it’s 15 mins of screaming. The girls spill something and she screams and yells for 29 mins. I have told her before she can’t react that way. She gives me a heart attack every time she does it which is almost daily. I don’t take advantage of her being here. I ask her before I do anything or leave. Right now I’m upstairs with my two girls in my room just to be away from her. We all go upstairs every night at 7pm and don’t come down til almost 7 am. She gets 12 hours a night of peace. I get up with all the kids in the morning and take two to school. She isn’t asked to do very much. But I feel like if she isn’t doing anything here maybe she move out. But I know it will cause a huge fight and she is the only family I have. And the only one who watches my kids.
