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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my flatmate moved in with me. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to me, so did her mother. FML
Today, I came home from a week-long vacation, only to find my mother-in-law didn't just dog-sit while I was gone; she moved in, along with all her possessions, and seems to think it's a permanent deal. FML
Today, while I was looking for an apartment for my boyfriend and myself, he asked me how would I feel about his mom moving in together with us. FML
Today, I moved in with my boyfriend. Up until now, I thought my cat was the only four year-old I had to deal with. FML
Today, my mom’s house has several comfortable places to rest in every room. For the cats and dogs, that is. Unfortunately for me, I'm a human. FML
Today, my mom's "hobby" of rescuing homeless people became very real. We now have 3 more people living in our house, and none of them have a sense of personal space. I wake up to their faces in my windows. Thanks mom. FML
Today, my dad and I had to move in with my mom. There's only two tiny rooms, and my aunt lives there along with her dogs and my cat. The dogs have tried to kill my cat, I have to share the bed with my mom, who snores BAD, and I haven't slept in two days. I work early all week. FML
Today, my mother-in-law asked if she could move in with us. FML
Today, my mother brought home dinner for four people. I was not one of those people. The dog, however, was. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I moved into our own house. He proceeded to invite his parents to stay for the week. The same parents we've lived with for the past 5 years. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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.

Exactly! Assert yourself! That's your space. As soon as someone mentions bringing over 4 chihuahuas, 2 birds, and a boyfriend I'd stop them cold. Not in mi casa you're not. I chill here okay, I don't run a zoo.

She probably didn't have a problem telling you yes or no in her house. And it is NOT mother makes the rules. Your house, your rules. Telling parents no can be hard for most people. But put your foot down when you must. As long as she remembers that she's a guest, and your home is yours, there shouldn't be a huge issue. That is assuming this is not long term...

I agree with #4, you have to draw the line somewhere.

It can be hard to tell your parents no, considering that they made the rules for so long

Erm, Just talk to your mom. Where is all going to fit. Ah never mind her head seems empty enough to store it.

Sounds like a Crowded House you dreamt was over.

People fear what they don't know so they down vote. Welcome to fml , where it doesn't matter if you get thumbed or down and you can voice you humble opinions.
