living with your mother

You have your own space so it seems as though it could work just fine. It all depends on your relationship with your mom. Is she the type that would be constantly at your place and invading your privacy? Do you get along? I would think this would be helpful and much better than putting her in a nursing home.

We lived in a garage over my husbands mothers house for a few years and it was not fun, she resented the fact that she didnt have her little boy all to herself, or if we wanted to go somewhere alone she got mad, than she got demanding and kept makeing list of all the things she wanted done, and the list never ended. We moved 14 hours away and are very happy now, best of luck to you, hope it works out.

here in our country, people are very much family oriented. we would never let our elders live alone if they already are having a hard time keeping house. my grandparents live with my aunts and uncles that are also living in that place. although they have thier own house, our relatives and my parents would check on them from time to time to see if they are doing well and are comfortable. my parents right now are still young and able, but i want to be near them when the time comes that they are older. its like a way of showing how much we care for them as they have also cared for us when we were still young and until they can they still help us.
