My foster son's mother-in-law lives with him and his wife. He had added onto the house for more space because sometimes his own kids come home to live on a temporary basis and they also had custody of his granddaughter for a while. He's forever complaining that the MIL doesn't lift a finger around the house, nor do the adult kids so it's rough on him.

When my mom needed a place to stay, we let her move into the trailer on our property. She lived there for 10 years until she got the shingles and then went downhill pretty fast, so I told hubby she was moving in with us.  She couldn't see because of macular degeneration, couldn't hear because her dad had 'boxed" her ears when she was young and pierced her eardrums, and could barely walk because of 2 broken hips (one at a time, one right after the other) and I took care of her.

I dread the day I may have to move in with my biological son and whoever he's with at the moment. I need help now and can't walk well. My hubby gets stressed out because he needed to take on more of my responsibilities and it "cramps his style" of "doing his own thing." He forgets that he's not living alone. Oh, I still do the best I can at cleaning and I do make the meals. That's the only time I see him - at supper. 

I need a vehicle that I can get in and out of without a problem so I can start doing the grocery shopping again, but I've been trying for 5 years to do just that. i can get in the car without a problem, but I can't get out because I can't bend my knee enough to clear the steering wheel or the car door.

I had my son and his 2 children living with me at one time plus my daughter and her boy friend.  My son and daughter got married and I have been by myserlf for the last 10 years.  Hope everyone has a good day and may God bless each of you and keep you safe. :)

I have 3 boys. The oldest is 18. He just graduated from high school and is in the process of going on a church mission for 2 years. He will be leaving on August 1st. So far things are great at the moment. They have their own space and do chores which is super nice.

Where is he going? I had mine go to Houston Texas, Puerto Rico, South Carolina and it was good for them.

My youngest son lives with me and helps take care of his granny, works a job and pay his bills.  It's really a blessing he didn't leave and go to Florida with his brother.  He's a really big help and I'm thankful he's here.
