About two years ago, my husband and I moved into my grandparents house which is owned by my dad. We focused on cleaning the house after the renters had moved out. Then my best friend died. I was not in a good place to be dealing with two households at the same time. My parents offered to physically help, but rarely made good on their word. They live about four hours away and are retired.

Fast forward to current day, where we still have not been able to sell our other house (which has been on the market for a little over a year) and are still trying to maintain two houses. My dad is not happy with the lack of attention we have given his parent’s house. I have communicated with my parent’s that anytime they want to visit to help, they are more than welcome (considering it is their house!).

I’m having a hard time dealing with the anger that I am feeling towards them lately. I think I have some other issues with them, but maybe this is the tipping point. I am extremely grateful that they are letting us stay here until our other house sells, but I also feel very stressed between the “landlords” and the bills.
