“My dad passed away a couple of years ago, and now my mom feels that her house is too big and lonely to be comfortable,” she explained.
“She asked my sibling if she could move in with them and their kids, and every single one of them refused, as they had no space. My house has a guest room, so after the previous room-related rejections, she called and asked me for my extra room. I told her she would have to pay rent and utilities.”
Her mom was appalled and blew up on her over the phone, telling her she was ungrateful and petty. Unfortunately, her mom got her siblings involved, and they’re all encouraging her to move on from the past and let their mom live with her rent-free.
However, she feels her siblings will never understand what her parents put her through once they were gone, and it’s not something that should be glazed over.
Should she let her mom live with her rent-free, or is it a good idea to charge her?
