Does threatening work?

W got a call from his mom to ask when we will be moving back with her. He told her we won't be moving back till we get our new place.

She terminated the call with these words "You will regret..."

I dunno about this....but I personally do not take 'threats' very well.

Honestly, one part of me is hoping that we do not need to rent like we are doing now as we are spending $400-500 extra every month just on rental. I could jolly well put these money into the bank and smile at the end of every year with a few thousands in our saving.

BUT I honestly cannot stand the thought of moving back to stay with her.
Simply for the following reasons:

> No privacy and boundaries - She doesn't value privacy, let alone knowing where her boundaries are. She used to always come into our room until recently when W told her off. Din take it well but at least it has stopped her wandering in sometimes. She likes to interupt our conversation. She has to 'win' in every arguement. She doesn't take 'no' very well. Basically, she wants to have the final say in everything.
> Repetition - She repeats herself over and over again. You can hear the same thing like umpteem times.
> TV - She turns on the TV in the wee hours of the morning. I am a super-light sleeper and the sound of the TV just wakes me up. Also she like to talk to you when you are watching TV.
> Her expectations - I have become the maid in the house now. I will be the one to wash up the stuff after dinner. There are silent expectation to wash her slippers and do some stuff in the house.
> Cleanliness - How about not washing your hands after visiting the toilet? Not to mention about the stuff you see on the toilet seat and floor. How about using your hand to touch and choose pieces of food when it's shared by everyone? Best part is when confronted, she said "This is how you have grown up....eating my saliva".
> "I am your mother" mentality - This is the most ultimate of all. Mother of all evil and root of all problem. In her mind, because of this fact, she has made things rather difficult. She doesn't even realise that her son is married.

Well...I think I should stick to our decision and stay out as long.

Just the thought of moving back to stay with her makes me DEPRESSED....
