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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

And you allowed this because...? I'm willing to bet your lease does not allow animals without prior consent, let alone 4 dogs as once, regardless of size. I bet it also has a clause saying no overnight visitors for more than a few days in a row. You need to tell the boyfriend to be on his way, and get rid of the animals, before the management notices and terminates your lease and you all end up homeless.

I want a follow up on why she moved in with you. Also why didn't you tell her she couldn't take all of that?

I think it's time that you had a little sit down with your mother and explain to her that she's going to have downsize if she's going to live with you. All the animals will have to find another place to live not trying to be mean and but cutting that many animals into a two bedroom apartment is not a wise thing especially since it can get you kicked out. Explain to her your lease and that they have a no pet policy. She'll have to work something else out

Hope your apartment building has a "no pets" policy!

I don't understand how this sort of thing happens. When the boyfriend and animals showed up with her, you should have informed her that (at least) the boyfriend, birds, and two of the dogs had to find another home. It doesn't matter that she is your mother, she is living in your home and you have the final say. The best bet is to get her into a motel and help her find another living arrangment.

Yes, she brought green alligators and long neck geese some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees some cats and rats and elephants but as sure as you're born don't you know she forgot her unicorn.
