I am in a position where I am likely to loose my home. I have 2 young children and am a single parent. My mum has offered that we move in with her, there is plenty of room. Growing up i was not close to her but we have become closer in recent years. This arrangement would also mean that she would be able to help look after the eldest after school which would save me paying for childcare. Because of her position it would likely be a permanent move and not just for a year or 2.
However..she is in failing health and this arrangement would mean I would most likely be caring for her at some point. She can be very short and intolerant, and I think would struggle with young children in the house constantly. I don't want her to be like that with the dc. My dad (who I am closer to) is not talking with her since they divorced and would not want to come and visit if we lived with my mum. He lives too far away for day trips so this would mean we would see less of him.
Does anyone have any advice on whether this may be workable?
