Daughter’s Perspective:
My mom lives alone in a spacious house, while I’m juggling life with two kids in a tiny apartment. I suggested she downsize and help me buy a home with a yard for the kids, but she said no. I couldn’t understand why she’d choose to hold onto space she doesn’t need instead of helping her family.
Mom’s Response:
Hi everyone—I’m the mom. I adore my daughter and grandkids, and I’ve supported them countless times with childcare, financial help, and emotional support. But selling my home—the place I worked hard for and filled with memories—isn’t something I’m ready for. That doesn’t make me selfish; it means I have limits. Instead, I helped her create a budget plan so she can build her own future—because true support empowers, it doesn’t just hand things over.
