Should Mom Move In With Me?
QUESTION: "I’m debating whether or not to encourage my mother to move in with me. Mom is having a harder time getting around lately, and I think she’s going to be in need of support for the rest of her life. I do have two siblings, but I don’t think either of them is interested in taking her in. You see, she’s a cranky lady who can be hard to be around sometimes. She’s quite directive and demanding. It does create hard feelings once in a while, and I worry what it would be like to have her in my house around the clock. I do, though, have this sense of obligation to care for my mother. I’m wondering what I should consider as I make the decision to offer her a home or not. Please provide some advice." - READER
