Moving in with your parents...

Edinburgh

At the age of 41 is a fucking terrible idea!!

For reasons best left unknown, I've had to move back into my parents house while I have some work done at my flat.

They're going on holiday on Tuesday... I just have to make it till then.

Last night, after nagging me about smoking, boyfriend stuff, washing, car stuff and then half a moan about my weight, my Dad went to bed at 9pm. My Mum spent the next two hours muttering about, 'every night it's the same, boring old fart goes to bed so early' (I now understand why he goes to bed at 9pm).

So I'm trying to get into Fabs and the internet comes up with 'parental controls' so it's blocked. An hour later I manage to log in to Talk Talk after much debate about the password, find the bit to turn it off and my Dad walks past the kitchen door in the buff.

My irony meter broke at that point and I gave up and went to bed. How the fuck am I going to make it to Tuesday?

Tips, advice, empathy/sympathy welcome...

No way on earth could I ever move back in with my Mother.

I suggest going out somewhere everynight untill 11pm when they're both in bed

I feel your pain. We had to move in with my in laws for 4 weeks while our new house was finishing being built. I drank lots of wine to get through that month.

I did too.

To the OP...ear plugs . they do the trick.

Our my grown up kids would probably dread having to move back in with us if they had to too.

Feign a sudden highly contagious illness and lock yourself in your room with five days worth of snacks, water and a bucket.

Wave them goodbye from the window on Tuesday and then relax!

Totally acceptable to laugh.

I have to get up at 4am to take them to the airport.

And she's just text me to ask if I want fish for dinner tomorrow night... I've not had my fucking breakfast today yet...

I have to laugh... I do... one day I'm going to see the funny side of this whole disaster.

The moment your mum got into bed your dad said "well done luv, she won't be home for long if we keep this up, think I will wander about starkers to see if we can make her stay out all weekend"

I understand your pain, as I had to move back in with my Mum for a year when I walked out on my marriage. Having lost her though - I'd love that nagging again & the feeling of exasperation I used to feel sometimes when living there.

Least it's only until Tuesday then you get some time to yourself And just think how great it'll feel when you move back to your own place!

Your post did make me smile. Parents you gotta love 'em!

My Mum is loving having me there, my Dad probably not so much. I've lived alone for the last 12 years, I've no doubt I'm a nightmare to live with and I am grateful to be taken in (like they had a choice) but seriously... last night I felt like I was 15 again.

We sometimes spend the night at my parents and my mum will really fuss over me. I'll have my own chair and mum will wait on me hand and foot. Mrs P throws me some awful looks because I just sit there and lap it all up.

LOL poor DG.

A long time ago I had to do this for a few months. I ended up barricading myself in my bedroom with my dog playing video games. Bit of a farking carnt really when I think back but it was better than falling out with them over fucking Coronation Street.

Ah this sounds like my MIL when we stay over...it must be an age thing as she seems to think men can't do anything for themselves and also need telling what to do as well as fussed over

When she visits us she actually sent him to bed at 10 o'clock...I was stood behind her pointing at him and silent laughing and she did that spooky mother thing of not turning round but knows what you are doing and said to me " and that means you too"

She was serious too, we had to go to bed and sneak back up when she was snoring

Mrs P thinks my mum is sort of saying to her treat him right because if you don't he can come home and get spoiled rotten.

It's only been a day and already they're driving me bonkers. I know I'm lucky to still have my parents and stuff but fuck I need to find a grain of patience from somewhere.

She told me this morning that we're going out for lunch with the woman she met in hospital. Now it's nice that she's met a new friend but why the fuck she thinks I'd want to tag along I've no idea!

I'm much appreciating my mum after reading all these comments. I would quite happily move in with her. She's just like me; you get on with your life,I get on with mine. We would sit outside drinking tea in the evening listening to the blackbird,or walk around the garden looking at her flowers

Yup... I'm grateful (I think I mentioned that up there somewhere) and I wouldn't really be short of somewhere to go... it's just easier to go to them. Much better to impose on your family than friends... although I'll be doing a lot of that this weekend.

I'm going to ignore the latter part of your comment if it's all the same.

My son, the same, were both still in therapy after his extended visit last year.

Just come up against my folks parental controls (due to the grandkids) - thank god if I sit at the opposite end of the sofa to them I get enough 3G to log on!

My mums eyesight isn't good enough to see what I'm logged into on my phone and if my dad spotted anything the chances are with his Altzheimers he'd have forgotten about it come morning.

Won't ever be moving back in but they do make amazing baby/dog sitters - if a little too far from home to make for more regular use!

Glad to have made you all laugh!

The latest update (in case you're interested) is that the necessary work was carried out in my flat yesterday.

I survived the weekend (mainly cause I stayed with my brother) and took my folks to the airport at 4am this morning.

They locked me in the garden last night. I went out for a smoke and my best mate called while I was out there. So I had another. By the time I went back down the garden the lights were off and they'd locked the back door. It was 9.15pm!

Now I have two weeks to find someone to fit me a wooden floor and sort my flat out so that it's habitable cause I'm not sure I can cope with any more co-habiting.

The lecture on what does/doesn't go in the recycling (cause clearly I'm a dunce) was almost too much to cope with so I asked what I should do with the little plastic applicators for my tampons. That shut him up pretty sharpish!

When I can bring myself to see the funny side, I'll tell you why I had to move out. It's not funny yet but I have assurances it will be someday.

I really do feel for you xx

Last year decided to invite my mum to come on holiday with us for a week (we were staying for 2)

The idea was she would baby sit in the evening so we could have some time out as just us.

First day the youngest nearly drowned after she fell asleep 5 mins after we left her to grab some food from next door.

She decided that she didn't want to go back on her own so it cost us more to move the flight.

By the end of our very much needed holiday i was ready to commit murder and needed another to get over it

Also we never got ANY time on our own.
