im 34 moved in with my mom to help my mother take care of my grandma my mom has lupus & my grandma is bed ridden. Everytime I leave the house my mom goes through my stuff or when i goto bed at night she steals my keys or has even used a coat hanger to unlock my car to snoop through it. and its getting really old i have two kids and this is showing them to disrespect me and they told me they are starting to hate their grandma when i confront her she hollers and screams & says im the bad parent. i am soooo agravated i could just scream.
It could be that you simply have a nosy, intrusive mother. Or it could be that you've given her reason to be concerned. You mention two children, but no husband... perhaps you can see where this is going.
Whatever the reasons behind it, it surely sounds as though you are past due for a heart-to-heart with your mom to discuss this. Make sure that you set aside enough quiet time that you can talk without interruption.

I understand you help take care of your grandma, but is there anyway you could move out? Maybe some place close?
If not, you will have to sit your mother down and talk to her. Tell her what your kids say about them starting to look at her different, and how you feel. Tell her you are there for her and your grandma, and you are 34 years old. You NEED privacy.
But to be honest, the best bet is to move into your own place, for you and your kids.
