Struggling with My Mom Living with Us – Need Advice!

Hi everyone,

I really need some advice and support right now. My name is Ariana, and I’m facing a challenging situation at home. My mom, Lillian, moved in with us a few months ago to help with our newborn. While I appreciate her willingness to help, it’s not going as smoothly as I had hoped.

My husband, Dylan, and I are starting to feel the strain on our relationship. We both feel like we have no privacy, and my mom’s way of helping often feels more like interference. For example, she has strong opinions on how we should raise our child, and it’s causing a lot of tension between Dylan and me.

I love my mom and don’t want to hurt her feelings, but I’m worried that if she doesn’t move out soon, it could lead to serious problems in my marriage. I feel stuck and don’t know how to approach this delicate situation.

Has anyone else been through something similar? How did you handle it? Any advice on how to talk to my mom without causing a rift would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for your help!

Best,

Ariana
