Gremlinswife tells us more.
I charge them rent but also pay them to babysit. They have a pretty sweet deal. My Husband works out of province i'm essentially a single mother 2 week of each month and my youngest son has special needs. Laundry is very low on my list of things to do in my kids waking hours lol

Put her in an elderly care home lol
I would let my mom bitch since she did birth me, put a roof over my head, feed me, n so on where a parent has a right to bitch if she pleases about none sense things. My grandma does it to my dad and every time tells her he loves her.
Hide all her clothes.
You're a mother of three but she's the mother of YOU.
The mother of op could be the mother of more kids. Assumption...denied.
What the heck is wrong with you guys, that's her mother. She shouldn't let her live in the basement, let alone pay for rent. That's the woman that was forced to lug your ass around for nine months OP. She's the reason you're alive today. Let her nag, if it gets under your skin just ignore it.
Your mother doesn't have a life-long right to boss you around, especially when you -are- a mother and have three of your own to look after. Don't bitch about her online; tell her to her face that it is not appropriate for her to snipe about *your* chores which do not affect *her*. Ignore all the idiots who think that nine months in her womb means you have to listen to every word she says. The most important thing about growing up is realising that your parents are adults just like you; they are fallible and have just as much chance of having a bad day, or saying something stupid, as anybody else. You have every right to expect them to treat you with respect; a parent who can't treat their child with respect is a bad parent.
It's not really nine months in the womb more like all the years she's housed you, fed you, and gave you unconditional love. Obviously you shouldn't listen to EVERY word she says, but most of the time there's a good reason behind it.
Did you leave all your laundry downstairs in the basement where she's "renting" and having her deal with your mess? I understand you have kids of your own and might be busy, but if you're leaving it her living space, I can understand why she'd be upset.
that is ****** up, you make your mother pay to live with you? do you pay her when she watches your kids?

When parents decide to have a kid they are the ones deciding to raise that kid. They have to provide for it until they can provide for themselves. But the kid does not have to provide for their parents. Those parents are grown adults and can take care of themselves.
To the nursing home we go Grandma!
Wait - you charge your mother rent?! Unbelievable.
Why? I was charged rent when I lived with my parents, why shouldn't I charge them if the tables turned? I certainly couldn't afford to feed more than myself or pay more than my own bills, so having even one extra person in my flat would be a financial burden that I would expect them to help ease. It would be different if I had no money troubles, but I'm going to assume a mother of three probably isn't independently wealthy or she'd have someone to DO the laundry.
Why not charge? I paid rent to my parents as soon as I got a job. Else it's called a free loader. And it sounds like OP has no husband/boyfriend to help out whilst having 3 children. Which must be hard for her as well!
Why the hell not? Parents charge their kids rent.

The internet is full of double standards these days. Parents can charge us rent, but the moment we have to carry them we have to sacrifice everything we worked for. I guess you met your parents and agreed to be born, is that about right? Fyl, OP. Ungrateful parents can be rough.
#80, Gotta love an OP who posts on her own FML. Best of luck.
I charge my wife rent. Unfortunately, she doesn't have a job, so she makes up for it by providing 'free' babysitting, cooking, cleaning and prostitution to me. I think it's a decent deal; and I've heard a lot of other people have been following my example nowadays.
In my culture things are way different. We live with our parents until we get married which is usually after a college degree. The parents pay for all of the studies. After marriage if your a guy the house is usually yours and your parents live with you and your wife rent free.

#95 What is wrong with you?!
He's describing a single-income family; He works, and charges his wife "rent" as an explanation for her contributions to the household.
