Ladies did some advice. We currently living with my in-laws n pay £500 rent bills included. My mum is fuming saying they…

@abbiegale, we live in Surrey everything is so damn expensive down here 😞. Planning on moving up north after baby is here xx

Where on earth do you live that it costs you that much? me and my partner will be having a place that will be 500 or under and and extra 200 on bills etc. Im sorry but i think someones foot needs to be put down what do they expect from you and your partner i dont know its unfair on you both having to pay that money out. Its hard enough to save with put having to pay that much out. I would really advise you and your partner to speak to his parents about it. Im sure they wouldn't like it of the shoe was on the other foot xxx

@abbiegale, we were paying well over £1000 when we were renting n we struggled but £500 is practical what I'm getting from mat leave n a bit more. If it was me on my own paying that I would be fucked. Just hate they not helping us more,the whole idea was to save up while being there but don't see that happening. They don't even have a mortgage as that's been paid off xx

Wow i can't believe that!! You can move into your own place for 500 pounds! We have to pay my partners mum 140 every 2 weeks. Thats shocking they should be helping you not taking stupid amounts of money off you. Some people can be so selfish i would get outta there asap and make them pay there own mortgage xxx

@mother_of_humans, it makes me so angry n it's just stressing me out but we have no other options until after baby is born. I hate myself for giving baby such a crap start as it is.

No I'm not that lady lol,although I can't believe someone would do that.

wow im sorry but thats bad! i pay that for a 3 bed house and when i did live with my parents and was pregnant and had my daughter they took 200 a month for both of us

@missy84, dont blame u hun. they should be ashamed of themselves! exploiting their own son and his pregnant mrs! theyre the ones who should be grateful x

@karenb1601, yeah that's most likely what they doing. Only one of them works but their mortgage has been paid off so it's just bills which can't be that much. We've tried to argue n lower the amount but apparently we should just b grateful 😦. As soon as I can once baby is born I'm looking for work n get the hell out of there! x

@missy84, thats disgusting! i pay 500 a month rent for my own house! sounds like theyre using i to pay their bills hun x

I know ladies and we tried to argue but it fell on death ears 😧. My partner is fuming n he's angry with himself although it's not his fault. We feel truly stuck n until baby is here n I can start work again we don't have much of a choice. x

I agree with the ladies above, you could rent somewhere for that and of course you'd need to encounter bills on top but still it's awful they're asking for so much truthfully not fair for you with a little one on the way. X

That is absolutely extortionate we pay that for our mortgage !! Xx

That sound like daylight robbery you could rent an entire house for about the same 😳 xo

Everyone pays there way yes, but without judgement your in-laws are in my opinion being disgusting to take this money away from you, and your mother has a point. I'm sure it's upsetting you're seeing both sides and love them all. But parents would want to see you save your money and help you out of the situation so you move faster to rent. £150 a month towards food or utilities is helpful but there's no need to pay £500 in my opinion that's dreadful. You don't need this kind of pressure being pregnant also. The baby will be costly and money should be given towards baby. Your in-laws are being unreasonable. You won't have a chance to save if you're paying out. Perhaps ask for them to give you time so you can save for a deposit. My parents and in laws would never expect anything from me whether they're financially stable or not. Never. I'd naturally want to contribute but they wouldn't expect it. Make the most of the in-laws, if you're paying out make them babysit as much as possible and get your money's worth. I'm shocked to read your situation and wish it resolves. Try not to feel manipulated by them, because they know you may have no where to go and it's money coming in. What does your OH say about this?

that does seem a bit steep. you'd think they would reduce it to help you all out x
