Mother is she selfish?

[ThatLemonHam]

I live next door to my mum. Recently my husbands mum has moved in. We are now moving to get a bigger home so everyone can have their own room. My son is currently sleeping on a mattress which I alternate with him each night. It’s a bad situation.
My Mum has told me now I’m moving she wants to move and put her house on the market. Which means we will be in direct competition. She’s knows our situation and how dire it is. I can’t help but feeling this is selfish. She was going to wait but now she doesn’t want too. If we weren’t moving there is no way she would be considering it.

I think you are acting very entitled OP. Your mum has the right to sell her own home if she wants

I agree my mother has every right to what she wants with her home. It’s up to her but it will damage our relationship

What does diagram mean?

So make your house more desirable? Then you don’t need to feel unjust resentment.

I’m on your side here op.. your mother knows the difficulty you are facing and she could hold back for a while as you are in greater need.

You could save on estate agency fees if you put up a home made sign in your window, catching all her viewers. Also, copy her schedule. Every cloud and all that.

Maybe she's panicked at the idea of you no longer living next door? Feels upset she sees less of you because you live with your MIL now? Instead of getting huffy, talk to her about why she has to move and where she plans to move to. She might just need reassurance about your relationship.
