Asking Eric: Our daughter moved back in and brought a mess with her
An elderly couple struggles with financial strain and household tension after their daughter and granddaughter move in due to eviction and inability to contribute financially.
- An elderly couple in their eighties, who had been enjoying a peaceful retirement, recently welcomed their middle-aged daughter and young granddaughter into their home after the daughter lost her condo due to her ex-husband’s failure to pay.
- The daughter has not worked in her field for 10 years, runs a non-living-wage business started with help from her ex, and is seeking but has not found a job, while the ex has stopped child support payments.
- The living situation causes stress due to the daughter's messy habits, impatience, and anger, which may be linked to perimenopause or other health factors, and the parents cannot afford separate housing for her.
- Setting clear ground rules and shared expectations about cleaning, chores, noise, rent, and the timeline for the daughter's stay can help reduce conflict and teach respect to the granddaughter.
- The mother’s generosity in housing her daughter is recognized, but enforcing boundaries is recommended to maintain family harmony and address the daughter's difficult circumstances practically.
