So I am 31 weeks preganant with my second child and recently moved in with my mother which was definitely not my first decision or second. If you ask me I would rather be homeless, but I guess I must be thankful that there is a roof over my head, but at the worst expense. Lets just say that if my mother was my room mate, a request for movement would have been went into effect. I can no longer live in this situation and it is stressing me worse and worse as the day goes by. Now I am looking at my options because finding a job at this time in pregnancy is definitely not going to happen and considering that I have been looking for 4 years, my confidence about even getting a job after the baby is born is shot. What should I do because I can barely stand to hear my mother's voice or see her anymore. Its like having the nastiest and laziest relative come stay with you for an extended period of time and all you could think is when in the hell are they leaving. Its embarassing to even say, but its true. I honestly can't take it anymore and am thinking about getting into my car, taking my daughter and clothes, and living in a park somewhere because I truly feel that it will be less annoying than dealing with this everyday.

Your mother is putting a roof over not just your head but your children's.You can throw around those words "I'd rather be homeless" but the reality is not the romantic delusion you think it is.For starters,in many states they take the newborns of homeless mothers.I know you don't want that.This post was most likely just a vent and I can appreciate that but I am here to remind you that gratitude will get you blessed much more quickly than anger and resentment.A lot of us have no mothers to fall back on.
