I end up spending a lot of time alone because when they're not working - and they work from home, they're either in their bedroom, the screen room or the now enclosed sunroom. My son lives online when in the house. He's totally addicted.
There is nowhere else to hang out or meet people here. We're about 8 miles from the town. Since I can't walk or drive I'm really stuck. Sadly I don't have a lot in common with my son and his SO. Gardening is about it with him - nothing with her. Now she's starting to want me to get rid of some of my stuff so she can move more of her stuff in. There is little storage space in a MH even those with additions like this one. They brought so much "stuff" with them, boxes and boxes of old clothes. WTF? They're getting ruined in the outbuilding and garage. FL is very damp and palmetto bugs get into everything. They don't want to pay for climate controlled storage. Sometimes I feel I moved in with them instead of the other way around.
My SD Donna wants me to go into assisted living where the atmosphere would be happier with a lot less negativity. There would always be someone around to pal out with. I know Jane is not happy here and she hates her job. She's peevish and snappy and it gets on my nerves. There's nothing my son or I can do to change things to make her happier.
