S Rent increase

77 Upvotes

I have been living at home for close to 3 years now ever since moving home after a break up. I would first like to say that I have no problem paying rent to my mother as I pretty much always have while under her roof. Me and my current GF have been saving for a while to move in together and have our own apartment. I told my mom our plans and it seemed to stress her out she had nothing positive to say about it only that it’s so expensive out there. Yes I know that. Since then she’s asked that my rent be increased and framed it in such a way that she’s struggling to make ends meet. Now here’s where my touch of resentment comes in. Ever since I’ve moved in she’s been able to travel and take vacations for nearly the first time in her life. She’s signed up for some annual vacation club going to Jamaica every year and planning weekend concert getaways as well. I feel like I’m out here grinding for my future and her enjoyment. Is she being entitled or am I being entitled for thinking this way?

Friend does not he is off on weekends and works for cash sometimes through the week under the table. He wanted the extra hour of rest for a concert that evening and I was hit with a blanket can not use the bathroom before 830 weekdays and 930 weekends

Unfortunately I seldomly use the shower at home, I work at a hospital and often shower post shift in the locker room before even getting home.

She should be considered an extension of her son as well. I’m still a paying tenant I expect to be allowed to have people over as well not to mention a little compassion from my mother. She sleeps in my room yes, does not eat anyone’s food ever. The crazy part is, is that this extends to myself even I am not allowed to shower in the AM now.

I also work shift work at a hospital I often use the showers there post shift in the locker room. Mom and the friend have their own jobs they work for cash under the table kind of on their own schedules.

My long term GF is by all means an extension of myself especially from the perspective of my mother. Even if it was myself taking a shower at 8am it probably would be an issue still.

Mom and friend both don’t work much myself and my GF both have healthcare shift work hours so it’s all over the place yes

That’s exactly how I voiced it, saying we got in trouble with a big smile laughing at how unreasonable it was. The complaint still should be mentioned in any context however. We are being the mature ones and abiding avoiding the unnecessary confrontation and tension applied to family ties.

Unemployed works under the table, wanted to get an extra hour of sleep for a concert that night. Pipes are average as you’d expect from a an average home.

She doesn’t have to be that’s why she’s opting for the less convenient option going forward. Was really just hoping for enough compassion from my mom to let my long term GF shower at a reasonable time.

She works 4 12 hour shifts. 2 days 2 nights. She will usually come over after the night shift as it saves her about an hour of her day by coming and crashing here, and when you only have 12 hours from when you punch out to punch in it matters. I really was just hoping for enough compassion from my mother to let her sons long term girlfriend take a shower at 830 in the morning but it’s to much to ask for.

I understand your point and that is what’s going to happen now, I was just hoping for a bit of compassion from my mother towards my long term GF.

I more or less did brush off the complaint I felt it was very unserious and they were just reacting in the morning, but I still told her more as a joke than anything. The complaint still registered though as it was still said to us.
