Today, I moved back in with my parents in order to help them with the mortgage, so they don't lose the house that has been in our family for three generations. I also found out that I now have a curfew, and so does my husband and our 3 year old son. FML

why is there still a mortgage if it's been in your family for 3 generations? talk about a high interest rate! lol

The parents either borrowed against a paid-for house or kept re-financing their mortgage instead of paying it off.

more likely we're about using your house like an ATM

You agreed to live in their house - THEIR house. If someone moved in with me, I don't care what the reason, they are not making the rules and they're not keeping me up all night. And I'm sure you're making out in this deal too. Stop whining or move out, if you can.

I sort of agree... If you're living in someone else's house you need to be respectful. BUT the parents can't control to the point of ridiculousness, either. They need to respect their SIL/daughter/grandchild's rights too. OP went there to HELP their parents. They have every right to just leave if the parents are being unreasonable. It's not a case where OP was short on cash and had to resort to moving back in with the fam. If you're quiet enough about coming in even at 1am, it shouldn't be an issue. I don't know why they tried to give a curfew to the three year old.

I agree with Steff. And there's the matter of true ownership here, too. If OP's helping with the mortgage, is it really still just the parents' house?

well, you guys need a sit-down. dad, mom we are here to help you with the mortgage but we do not agree with this curfew of yours. we are big peoples now, and do not like this newly-imposed restriction so no curfew, all fair.

Sure it's the parents' house and their rules obviously, but telling her family when to be in bed is disrespectful to their parenting and I'm assuming they're responsible and considerate enough to handle themselves. Just because she's their "kid" doesn't make it alright to treat her as such.

three generations op, and the mortgage hasn't been paid? well maybe you need to lose the house because you will most likely follow in your parents foot steps and not pay it off either.

Time to let the old property go. Next when the parents come to live with you, you get to set the rules. I'm kidding, they will never consider you anything other than their baby.
