about OH and I getting a flat!
We had our own flat for over a year but moved back to Mums 6 weeks ago until we found somewhere else.. just by luck somewhere came up round the corner for a good price and we decided to go for it really pleased!!
It's ok at my Mums and I'm grateful that they let us stay etc but my little brother and sister are in and out the room all the time, OH doesn't like to just go and help himself to things around the house , there's 6 of us all sharing one bathroom(which is murder in the mornings) and it can only get harder when baby comes..
But anyway, since I'd mentioned to my Mum that we're moving out she's been really quiet, then today she asked why we were moving out? I said that me and OH just thought it was the best thing for us, so we have our own space etc and for baby coming Also said that it means that my little brother and sister aren't being woken up by baby in the night when they have school the next morning! And being close to her means she is always close by, and can see baby lots
She then just said that she thinks we're doing the wrong thing and walked away...
I don't mean to sound ungrateful, it's great that my Mum and stepdad were letting us stay with them and I appreciate it but she doesn't seem to understand where I'm coming from atall when I say that we need our own space.. She just starts asking why and what has she done wrong?
I don't see what's so bad about us moving out? Or what we're doing wrong, surely it's the best thing for everyone? We can manage ourselves financially so I don't see the problem..
Sorry about long post, it's just really getting me down. Wish she could just be happy and look forward to being a nana
