Mom packs torbs and wants to move from the village to our city

How is life in the countryside different from living in the city? And what if your mother is tired of living in the countryside and asks to move to the city, and you do not have the opportunity to accept her in your home? The answer to the second question for more than a year looking 46-year-old resident of Svetlovodsk Marina.

Life in the countryside I come from a small village. Before going to university, I didn’t think about moving to the city. I knew how to survive in the countryside. But the prospect of being alone in a big city, where you don’t know anyone and nobody is needed, was very frightening.



But when I got to college, I managed to overcome my fear. She also found love and got married. I never went back to the village. Sometimes I came to help my mother with the housework, but the older I got, the less time I had.



One day my mother said she was tired of living alone in the village. Started asking to move in with me. For more than a year, she called and complained about how difficult it was to cope with. Tired of stoving, dragging water with buckets and weeding beds. He says he wants to rest in his old age.



On the one hand, I would like to help my mother, but only if I take her to live with me, then my life will become unbearable.



First of all, my apartment is small. We barely fit in two rooms with two children. And secondly, my mom never liked my boyfriend. The two of them have always had a lot of scolding and reproach, so I tried not to leave them alone for more than 10 minutes. And if we had a place to house Mom and she did move out, what guarantee would they finally make peace? I can't keep an eye on them around the clock!



However, no matter how much I try to explain to my mother that I can not take her now, she does not want to hear anything. The other day, she called to say that she was already packing bags and selling the farm. I'm just panicking! I will not leave my mother to live on the street, but there is no place to shelter. What do I do?



The first thing that comes to mind when reading the story of our heroine is the question: “Why not improve her living conditions in the village, if there is no opportunity to take her mother to the city?” Carrying gas, fixing the water supply system and helping with seasonal work is not so difficult. Especially when it comes to the people themselves! I think the problem would have solved itself.

What do you think about that? Would you like to share some advice for our heroine in the comments?
