Mil was going through a divorce, she was gonna move out into a 3 bedroom rental around the corner from her work. Our rental on the other side of town from her had so many issues that we literally almost died on more than one occasion. One is too many, a few is just unacceptable. So she approached us, wanted us to move into this rental with her so she would have company and to help us save money in getting our own house. I offered money towards bills and she said 100/month. 6 months later she wanted all the bills so she upped it to 300-month. Even though she changed the deal I still believed we were getting a good deal and felt it was fair. We were still saving some and paying down debts.
Keep in mind we moved 30 min in opposite direction of our jobs and school and we lost about 1-2 hours daily in traffic. Plus gas. But I still felt it was ok so she wouldn't be alone and we could save as much as we could (paid about 1050 rent & bills in old place) ...
Now she has fought w my DH bc he washes the laundry and he bathes our son and takes care of him on nights that I work until 730pm (he's in bed by 
.. she called me the man and him the woman and he defended me.
Now she wants to move out. She found a single duplex for 2/3 cheaper than here and she wants us to pay out the last 4 months on the lease she signed here. She says she will move out here but still pay half so she asks us to give her the 300 plus 650 for rent- 950/month. To let her break the lease and to still have us driving 2 hours in traffic??
Plus I'm due in December and I plan on taking off 12 weeks, 6 paid 6 not paid. So how am I supposed to move into another place if I don't have income showing d/t being out on maternity leave? My DH is on board to moving out also. This whole thing was an inconvenience and we did it so she wouldn't be alone, but now that she doesn't need our company anymore she is mad my DH doesn't leave us to go drinking w her or spend time w his sister that is rude to me.
Would we be wrong to say we are going to move and I will give you the 300 I normally do but do not expect the extra 650 bc we never agreed to it, we just stayed quiet when she told us that's what she wanted bc we were in shock and we didn't want to cause a scene in front of our son.
My DH says we should not say anything but just move. I found a place on other side of town that is actually 3 bedroom for 850. It looks nice on outside and it's new, but can't do walk through until they finish it- 11-01 (2 weeks). He is worried if we say something she will try to throw us out before a place is ready for us, but I say she is not legally able to do that. Besides I think she knows the relationship would be beyond damaged if she went that route.
Are we right not to be pressured into paying this extra 650 (she told us yesterday she wants to start getting that on the 1st so that's 2 weeks notice) .. and should we say something now or wait until we have a place?
(When she told us this yesterday she told us in exchange we could move our stuff into her master bedroom like she was doing us a favor?)
