Need advice on how to tell mom I am moving out.?

Question

K here is the situration. I am a newlywed, and have a 11 year old daughter. My daughter and I have lived here the whole time. Once i got married my mother started to charge us $550 in rent. that is way too much. so we are going to move in with my inlaws so we can save money for a house of our own. well my mom is always saying how broke she is even though she is always spending money, so I know she is going to flip out. I want to know how to tell her with the least amount of problems.
Please help.

I know she is going to try and make me out to be the bad one, but she already thinks I am. She is going to tell my sister who i don't get a long with anyways how selfish and what not i am. So this is going to cause issues, but we cant pay our bills when we have to pay so much. We want to get our bills paid off and save for a house of our own.

Answer 1

if your mother is so close to your sister -- then why don't you sister live with her? i know what you mean by making you the bad one -- my mother is not like that, but i have friends who had mothers take sides -- and moving out is always the best option.

i do remember answering your question about your daughter, and i think moving out is a good option since your mother spoils her a lot. i think it's a good decision -- especially when you've finally bought your own house, your daughter, you and your husband will live in that house -- you can teach your daughter how to be responsible by setting examples in the house -- and your mom is not there to destroy the good parenting you're showing your daughter by spoiling her. i understand that money is a little tight nowadays, that's why you just can't move out soon. so you're torn in between.

i think you should tell your mom flat out why you want to move out -- whatever reasons you put in your questions -- let her know that. i know it's harsh to be a little too honest to your own mother -- but she's making you feel miserable, and she has to know that! because if she doesn't -- she's going to do the same things over and over again.

so i hope this works out for the best.

In your case there is no way to tell her without creating a situation. The best thing for you to do is to come straight out and tell her that you're moving out. You don't owe her any explanations. I'm not saying disrespect her but just be truthful and straight to the point.

Answer 3

you still arent grown up are you, if you think 550 is too much try living a real life, our basic living expenses are about 2000 dollars a month, you are moving from one parent to another, you are never going to grow up. just say so long and leave. let her fume and dont expect any help from her ever again.

Answer 4

Mom, I am an adult and we are finally moving out of your house.

If she gets upset, then that is something she will have to deal with. You are old enough to make this decision on your own.

Good Luck!

Answer 5

If you're married, you& your husband should be living in a place of your own.
It's a matter which concerns you, your daughter, and your new husband. Has nothing to do with your mom.
Find a place, and let her know shen you'll be moving out. That's all that's necessary.

Answer 6

If she's going to be hostile about it, there is only one thing you can do.

Pack your car/truck/whatever with everything you have. Give her that months rent, give her the keys, say "I'm moving out mom. Bye." and just walk away.

Thats the only thing you can do when you know they're just going to flip out. Walk away.
