27-year-old daughter takes in retired mom, allowing her to live in her room, only for entitled mom to criticise her about how ‘messy’ she is: ‘I feel small and unappreciated’

Many young adults move back in with their parents during their 20s, at least for a little while. Some do it because they want to save money, while others simply because they want to feel secure and carefree like they did when they were kids. Either way, you hear of many young adults who are happily living in their childhood bedroom, playing roommates with their parents.

Other young adults would tell you they can never see themselves moving back with their parents again. Something about them being granted freedom and a chance for independence is irreplaceable, no matter the cost. They may love their parents, but they outgrew the four walls they grew up in, and that is completely valid.

How do you think these young adults would react if they somehow had to combine these two experiences–living with their parents, while also living alone in their own space? Just like the 27-year-old woman in the story below, who somehow found herself welcoming her retired mom to her home and letting her stay there for almost a year.

After you read this story, you will probably agree that sharing a space with your parents, in a place that is not your parents' home, is not a fun experience. Especially if your mom is anything like the mom here.
