I've been in oak for a few years but haven't really took the time to branch out and meet some of people. I would love to find my 'clique' out here.
What are some fun places to meet people on a random Friday night? It could be board games, pickup sports, even minigolf lol.
I've been looking online and bars seem to be the main attraction? Dont mind drink or two but thats just not my speed
I (23M) recently married my wife (22F) this month. We currently live separately, but we've been planning for her to move into my apartment so we can finally start our life together.
The problem is that my mother (56), my sister (32), and my sister's two preteen children have been living with me in my 2-bedroom apartment. Realistically, I can't house four additional people and build a marriage at the same time.
About 3–6 months ago, I told them they would need to find other living arrangements because my wife would be moving in. I have three other siblings, but I seem to be the only one actively involved in helping my mother. She's been living with me for over three years.
Move-out day arrived. My sister was able to purchase an RV and has somewhere to go. My mother, however, is not prepared. She doesn't want to stay in the RV with my sister. She doesn't work, but she receives food stamps and cash assistance and is currently applying for Social Security benefits. I've been helping her contact housing assistance programs, and it looks like some resources may become available this week.
Because she still has nowhere to go, I'm paying for a hotel for a few days while we try to get her into a shelter or housing program. I'm also helping with her belongings, although she chose to move them into a storage unit instead of an office space that was available.
I feel guilty because she's my mother, but at the same time, I don't think it's fair to ask my new wife to postpone moving in or start our marriage in an overcrowded 2-bedroom apartment.
Am I the asshole for asking my mother and sister to move out so I can build a life with my wife?
Edit: I appreciate the responses and perspective thats come with it
There clearly werent any real efforts of making plans. My wife and I got her a hotel for a few days and cleared out her bedroom. It's quite. Almost eerie but for the first time I finally have my home to myself. It feels relaxing and I look forward to moving my wife in.
That said, I dont think I have it in my heart to completely dust my hands of my mother. I refuse to support like I have in the past however I will demand my siblings to support her and to assist find her resources.
I honestly want to cry but I refuse to lose my wife and our future together over this

Am I going too far kicking my mother and sister to move out so I can build a life with my wife?
