No one knows better than yourself because it depends on the kind of relationship you have with her. If she was a good mother to you while raising you, then reciprocate in kind by being a good daughter and take her in for as long as she needs.
However, if she was a crappy parent or just a miserable person, it's not going to be any different with you as the adult while she's shacking up with you as she recuperates.
If the latter applies, agree to pay her motel bill until she collects some kind of disability, medicare, unemployment, etc. to take care of her own expenses. She's an adult, too, and should want to be responsible for herself.

It depends upon the situation. If she broke her foot she should be able to get disability from the state which would put cash in her pocket and she would be able to pay her own bills. Also if she got fired from her job because of her foot she could collect unemployment until she gets another job. I also think that if she got fired because of her foot that is discrimination and she could sue or report to the labor board. Now with that being said if none of those options were available then yes I would take my mother in until she was back on her feet and let me tell you my mom is not easy to get along with. Everything has to be her way cause her way is the right way! Good luck you might need it lol :-)

The answer to that is an absolute YES! My mother allowed me to live in my parents home all during growing up, as well as provided for my every need. When I got out of the military and didn't have a place to live, there was no hesitation in allowing me to stay in their house (free). Of course I eventually moved out when I had a job and could get my own place, but the fact is, my parents would have allowed me to stay there as long as I wanted....whether I was working or not. I don't think that there should be any question about whether someone's mother (or father) should be allowed to live with you if they need a place to stay. It would be our chance to give back to the one who loved/loves us and took care of us when we needed taking care of and always provided for us, even when it meant self sacrificing to do it.

My mother has passed away, but before hand I would of course let her come live with my family! She took care of me for years and years, I'd do the same for her if that problem ever would have occured.

Yes, I would, even though I don't have a very good relationship with her. If she needed my help I would give it, because I believe that Nice Matters, and my personal life philoshophy dictates my actions.
So Mom, if you're reading this...I'm here for you!

Yeah, but only for a while, until she gets back on track. If she gets too comfy, she may not wanna leave and she may start to take over slowly but surely.

Judging by your previous questions, You have some serious issues. I hope your mom can find a way to make it on her own. If you have to ask strangers, that is sorry

I would do anything I could to help my Mother. I can't believe you would even ask that question.

Yes, she is my mother. She feed and took care of me, and loved me. How could anyone not.
