HaHa my parents are having me over!

I would refuse if it were me and move out. Would cost more but so what. Parents would lose out.

It's not the momey - it's the fact that this is a big jump from the £35 quid a week originally agreed. I would also be peeved that my brother was only ever expected to pay the latter amount.

I would rent somewhere else and pay the extra. Worth it to have the privacy and not have to abide by somebody else's rules.

I think it would be reasonable to request a household meeting where all the outgoings are laid out and you can all see exactly what needs to be paid and what savings could be made.

If your parents refuse this and expect you to blindly pay a sum they've come up with without seeing what its for, then you can tell them that you'll be moving out in order to have more control over your finances.

It sounds like they could do with a bit of an MSE makeover. You can offer to help them with that but if they don't want to accept your help you don't need to feel guilty for letting them deal with their own issues.

Parents should expect that adult children will move out eventually and shouldn't be counting on their income to get by. If your parents were ill, disabled or suffering through no fault of their own then I'm sure you'd want to help out but if they are both earning and any financial difficulties are due to bad money management, well that's not really your problem to fix.

I'm sorry about your baby. x

Thank you for understanding me, this was all I was trying to get at but you were just able to say it in 3 lines compared to my lengthy mails haha

I can see why you're not best pleased about the sudden rent increase, sounds like your Mum is making up for lost time now that she's regained her figure. It's worrying that she's dippig into their savings and that they're not willing to accept your help-my Mum was thrilled when I directed her towards this site lol. Sounds like you'd best renting for now, possibly in a flatshare to keep costs down until you can save enough for your mortgage. Is moving in with your fiance's parents an option?

Thats the thing I don't know, they still own there old house which they rent out...may I add cheaper than what I pay for rent! hahaha maybe I should move in there with the 3 tenants lol

They have paid of the mortgage on that house and got a new mortgage out on this larger house,

When did they buy the new house? They've got a thumping big mortgage on the new house have they? Spending money like they are baby-boomer gods with endless money - whereas many people your age struggle to afford a half-decent rented place.

I thought my mum would jump at the chance of saving cash but obviously not...quick fix up my rent, 3 fold!

I was thinking of flat/house share but most places don't accept couples...dunno why that is?

And we live in clevedon in and his parents live in bristol, and both work in clevedon so obviously costs in transport would go up mega bucks! :O(

Just move out and get a place off your own, may cost more but a lot less hassle.

Stop behaving like brat would be my suggestion I live in the second or third cheapest uni town in the country I pay
£255a rent
£6.80 toward water
£2 tv lience
£4 internet
£20Bills
So that £72 a week. and that just for once person. so £65 quid for two is a bargain.

Luckily being a student no council tax but can add that in.

If you not happy with the situation then move out

Have a look at the rental prices for rooms in shared houses in your area. That'll exclude food but include other costs. Add the cost for any food provided and that'll get you some idea of an equivalent cost with another landlord. Then you can either move into one of them or use that to support a lower charge.
