AITA for being frustrated with my mom?
I live in Florida with my husband. Back in march 2022 we moved my mom (45) and sisters (16/13) here into our 4bd home with us from texas. I agree to help my mom out for a year or 2 living with us. Well my mom has lived here two years now. She doesn't exactly pay a flat rate in rent or for other bills. She just sends money whenever. I calculated the cost and that not counting rent that's just utilities and shit. So technically she's lives rent free here. She just works and comes home and goes straight to her room. I get it I don't work I'm home all day. But I still pay for the bills. I just wanted help with dishes cause they pile up fast with 4 ppl. That was the first problem. She doesn't really try cooking atleast sometimes either. I feel like she lives rent free atleast try helping a lil more but in her head her being there shouldn't be a big deal cause wed b paying what we pay regardless and she shouldn't have to help cause shes never really home and hardly makes a mess? Anyways she's tired of living here cause she feels like we are assholes cause we feel we contribute more financially and she doesn't really help. So she wants 500 a month from me and 300 from my brother to help her move out and have her own place. I was annoyed cause I feel live I've already done alot to support her and she still needs more even tho she's a grown woman capable of taking care of herself. Instead of figuring it out by looking for a better job or a second job she expects me to help even tho it's been two years and she still doesn't have things figured out. Am I really the asshole for expecting a lil bit more outta her?
My calculations: Electric ~ 190 ÷ 2 = 95 Water ~ 100 ÷ 2 = 50 Phone ~ 70 Storage ~ 123 ÷ 2 = 61.50 Food ~ 150 Total ~ -426.50
May 2022-April 2024 356.50×12 = 4278 426.59×11 = 4691.50 Total ~ -8969.50
Zelle(Nov 2022)~ 5599 Cash app~ -1172.50
Total~ -2198
She always mentioned wanting to move here and I wanted to help I was naive to believe it would only take her one or two years to get her shit together. Atp I just want her outta my house and my life
There's no relationship atp she seems so ungrateful. I want her out of my house and my life now. Can never tell her anything cause she's always the victim defending herself and everyone else is the asshole
Yeah I've done allot but when I put it out she gets defensive starts shit talking
I never even expected rent from here I just wanted some help with dishes ONLY and cooking sometimes cause it's a lot for 4ppl in a house since she doesn't pay rent. But she says that's my job since I'm home all day (I don't work just have retirement pension from the military) so I pay all the bills.
Yeah not if she was old and couldn't work fine but no she's 45 and very capable of working. Oh yes as soon as I got my first job at 17-19 bark making 600 a month she started wanting rent. She didn't make me pay but always gave me shit for it If I want doing dishes or cleaning and let the house get too messy or want helping best believe I heard any it. I finally left at 19 cause I got a bf and started spending more time out with him than at home watching the kids or cleaning. Oh she let me know how shitty I was not contributing and living there rent free and she expect rent at the point so I left.

I told her she can either move back to Texas if she can't afford it here or get a better job then instead of settling
