I'm F 49 with my grown children (DD 32 and DS 29) both still living at home and the kicker is they both have a child who also lives FT at home. I'm tired, I want to live alone, I've even thought I'd like to downsize from my large house to a small flat closer to the City...
My DD has recently had quite a medical episode and was in hospital for 3 weeks. She has a partner and he is the father of my grandson but they choose not to live together fuck me right! My DS is a single dad with a young daughter that needs my assistance getting her to and from school as my DS works approxi 12 hour days M-F to get a head and he is but still needs help with his little one.
I'm just tired of everyone still at home. My ex is a dick wad and thinks our adult children are some how helping me out financially (I wish! they do pay a modest weekly rent, shop for groceries and pay for a fortnightly cleaner). They see their father once a month and it's never a joyful event. I love my two and their children, we holiday together, we eat out together, go to festivals/carnivals together but I just want space.
My friends say I'll miss them and the noise when they leave but I dream of moving closer to the City while still catching up with them weekly. I find myself making plans just about every weekend to get out/away and have not brought a man home as I don't want one of my GC asking questions or walking in on something...
AIBU? I would prefer them both to move into a property/house/unit with a mortgage over paying someone else's mortgage ie renting but with the way property prices are going they just might have to look at rentals?
