really mom?

I hate that my mom can ruin a perfectly happy moment for me with one sentence. I was super excited yesterday because for DH's birthday my MIL is going to pay the house payment for us so we don't have to worry about it as soon as we move in. It was very kind of her and now $600 extra that we have. All my mom, had to say was it is stupid you guys are moving in there. What about more children some day? That house isn't big enough. It is small. It is a 3 bed 1 1/2 bath and about 1000 sqft. DH, SIL and MIL all lived there just fine. Shoot at one time it was MIL, SIL, DH, BIL and 2 of our nieces. We have plenty of space for another child or 2. They don't need that much stuff.

She even tried to knock the house because MIL smokes like a chimney. I can take care of that with cleaning, paint and steam clean the carpets. My stuff isn't being moved into the house until I clean it.

I was then on Pinterest at this time and looking at fun crafts DD and I can do closer to Christmas. She butts in at this point not to say oh that wonderful or ask about the crafts. No it is to say, " You aren't going to be able to do any of that with her. You will have to find a full time job when you get back here since you 2 chose to ruin your nice set up." I mean come on. I thought we were past this. Dh and I are moving back in 2 months. He is going into the reserves. We have close to $10,000 to live off of. He has a job with the ironworkers union in St. Louis already set up. We already have a place to live. DH and I decided that I would continue to stay home and try to finish school. We are happy and it seems like that kills her. I just wish she could share in our happiness with us and everyone else.

That's how big our home Is and were having #2. Don't let her get u down.

Yeah It really isn't that small. It is smaller than what we have now but it is ours and not some landlords. I am excited about this huge step and she is squashing it.

Do you live with her?

You're mom is being a bit of a

Quoting Meg ♥:" Do you live with her?"

No I live with DH about a 16 hour drive from her.

Quoting Addi's Momma:" No I live with DH about a 16 hour drive from her."

Oh, well... then maybe she is jealous.

I have no idea. I'm sorry she is being so down to you. That is awful.

That's what DH said. She has always stated the fact she would have hated to be a SAHM. Maybe she resents the fact that she has to work 2 jobs to support my lowlife father and DH prefers to be the one to take of us. We are also more financially sound.

We lived in a 1000 sq ft townhouse with our 2 kids, it was a perfect size! Right now we live in a 2100 sq ft home and I wish it were smaller! I hate big houses! They cost more to heat and keep cool AND there is just more space to have to clean!
Your Mom is probably just unhappy with her life. Sorry she is taking it out on you

Oh I know 100% she is unhappy with her life. She could change it easily by kicking my dad out but doesn't want to do it for whatever reason.

We live in a 1400 sqft house now and I feel like all I do is clean. I miss our townhouse which was like 800. It seemed so uch easier to keep clean. Maybe because I had less crap or because it looked so much worse early so I had to clean.
