Today, my mother moved in to my 2-bedroom apartment with me. She brought her boyfriend, 4 chihuahuas, and 2 birds with her. FML

It's your job to tell her what's okay and what's not in YOUR house. Just because she's family doesn't give her the right to push you around.

YDI for not having boundaries. Even if you have reason (maybe she's old or sick) to let HER stay, that does not require the rest. At least, not in those numbers.

It's good you're helping her out but I definitely agree that you need to put your foot down and tell her she can't just bring along many other guests. She might be down a hole because she needs a place to stay but that doesn't give her the right to take the piss.

OP, set boundaries IMMEDIATELY. I have been in a similar situation. Parents are used to being in charge of their kids. When the tables turn and the child is setting the rules, parents strongly resist changing the dynamic. But you must do so for your own sanity! Firmly tell her the rules she must follow to continue living with you and let her know that she will have to leave if she can't respect your rules. It sounds harsh, but it will be better for your both.

Today my daughter kicked me, my boyfriend, 4 chihuahuas, and 2 birds out of her 2 bedroom apartment. FML

Very tight fit and no privacy, congratulations

You didn't know she had all these animals and a boyfriend before she moved in?

even per housing law...its not acceptable..

You knew those were coming when you agreed to let her move in... right? YDI

Past time for a talk and standing up for yourself. Good luck op.

Never past that time. His/her place his/her rules.
