Right now I am living with my mom. We don't live in the best neighborhood (people getting robbed, killed, etc.), but our apartment is decent, and we've lived here for 11 years. Now all of a sudden my mom wants to move into a cramped little single wide trailer. I'm far from keen on the idea. We have too much stuff, for one thing. My mom has already put advertisements up to sell her bedroom suit and the big screen TV in the living room. She called me last night to tell me that when she sells this stuff, she's taking my bedroom suit and my TV. Wtf is that!?! I'm still outraged. I want to get the hell out of here. I'm sick of her bull shit. My dad said I can live with him. I'm considering it, but there's no room for my stuff there either, and it would cost me a lot more in gas to get to work. I really wanted to get an apartment with Wesley, if we can afford one. Everything seemed good, like he was ready to do it. Now his attitude has completely changed and he doesn't think us living together is the right thing. I am just seriously annoyed and pissed off. Don't let me get my hopes up and then pull this shit. I really think us living together would make me happy. Sure the bills would be stressful, but I'm just as stressed living here with my mom. I just want to become more independent, and I think us moving in would provide that. Unfortunately, he thinks it will do the opposite. Life really sucks sometimes.

Wow, that sucks about your mum! I'm surprised that she didn't talk to you about it, because it's going to affect you as much as it's going to affect her! I would be mad aswell if my mum did something like that.
& she's taking YOUR stuff? o_O
Maybe Wesley was really for the idea, but then thought about it a bit more and realised that he didn't feel right about it yet, how loing have you two been going out for? Because moving in together is a big step. Also, I'm probably completely wrong about this, but didn't you say in a previous post that his parents said you had to be married before you move in together? I've probably just made that up in my head though - so ignore me if thats wrong.
Whatever happens, I hope you're able to sort everything out!
Ooh, that sucks! I'd get something of hers that she really values, hide it, then say you sold it. Just to see what she does
If she gets mad then just say that's what she gets for selling your stuff. Then act proud like a child who's just got their way
Aww, I'm sorry Britney.
That sucks, and I would be outraged too if my mom told me that. I wouldn't like that one bit, and I'd be super pissed, but I get mad too easily or so I have been told.
Wow that's kinda messed up your mom is selling off her bedroom & TV and planning to take yours. My dad's kind of like that, but he keeps what's his and tries to sell his kids' & wife's stuff because it's not important to him. =/ I feel you on that. I'm really sorry that your mom is really going for that trailer though. I can't even imagine living in one.. =(
Boyfriend & I were also thinking about moving into an apartment together. My roomie actually considered the same thing w/ her boyfriend too. The idea does sound great and dandy but I agree with you the bills are going to be stressful because both you & Wesley are gonna have to each do your part. That's why my roomie & I aren't living with our boyfriends yet; the cost of living is too high for our tastes right now, esp. since we live on the west coast. =/ Even if we lived on our own we're probably going to still be financially dependent not just on who's living with us but also our parents too, if they're of any help anyway. But yeah I know what you mean about your living situation. I was going through that all last year, too.
I'm sorry I can't give you better advice for that though. The only thing I can tell you is to stick it out and hope for the best. Living in a trailer doesn't sound efficient for you considering all your stuff and although living with your dad may mean sacrificing a couple of your posessions for the sake of fitting everything in there, at least you've got a roof over your head. Take care with all that, though.
That's lame. My ex wouldn't move out with me either, and I ended up moving out with a girl friend instead. The relationship suffered, but I think it would have either way. At home I was WAY too stressed. Donny and I moved out way before we should have (financially) but we both knew the stress of our parents' homes would be the end of us if we didn't, so no regrets.
Sounds to me like you contribute a decent amount of money but don't have much say in your mom's household, which is unfair.
Moving out takes time and patience. If you can learn to budget and save, I'm more than sure that moving out will be alright for you guys. You also should at least have some say in where you and your mom are moving if you're giving her money each month to help out.
I doubt your mom "wants" to live in a little trailer, maybe she doesn't see any other choice. Did she explain to you why she is making these decisions? Even if you don't have much say in the end, you at least deserve to know what the situation is. I'd tend to assume it was financial, but of course I don't know. Do you have your own bank account and credit card (not joint accounts)? Who owns and/or is paying for you car? Regardless of whether her actions are financially responsible or not, it may be wise to seperate your assets from hers so that she or other entities don't seize them. This could be your mom trying to do the right thing (but going about it wrong), or it could be an act of desperation.
My parents and upbringing have always been very conservative (relative to what is "normal" these days, anyway…), but I was also taught to be honest and put honor before pride. My parents wouldn't approve of it or like it, but I'm certain they'd open their home to me and the woman I loved and was having sex with rather than see either of us suffer. Do Wesley's parents even know you two are having sex yet? If Wesley's parents are making his decisions for him, maybe you should bring up the subject with them instead of him.

I can understand your mom wanting to move into a safer neighborhood, and a cheaper place, but it doesn't seem fair for her to sell your things..where are you supposed to sleep? Before I met my fiance, I lived in an apartment with my mom..she had lost her house, and everything in it..so I had to buy myself an air mattress and a cd player, just for something to sleep on, and have some sort of entertainment..
I moved in with my fiance when I was 19, and things have been great ever since. We've been together for over 8 years now, and have two great kids. I don't think moving in with your boyfriend would complicate things, especially if you've been together for a while. As long as you can convince him that things won't change, and he'd still have his time with the guys, he might change his mind =]
That sucks, I'd be really pissed too! Living in a trailer doesn't sound like a good idea to me either.
move in with me even though there is no room lol, there's barely room for me.
