grandmother who acted as nanny should pay rent?

so  for the last 4 years I have  cleaned my daughters hour 15-25 a hours out the week which in excludes cleaning toilets, taking out garbage washing and putting up and picking all clothes cleaning alt he bedrooms kitchen and  taking children  for parks  movies walks .  I started as well working more with my grandson who has special needs ( now that i Have gad to live with them for the last 3 months but the cleaning and the rest started 4 years ago, in return she gave e use of the car and paid cell phone bill and put me on her car insurance with her husband ( yes he messes up also and cleaned and pick up his underwear and cloths also. So again I had  time to go any where just picked my son up from work ,no car needed it was form my home, and back and grocery store ( three of those years I had my own job as well as working at her  house) , so the car was never used by me to do fun things just essentials and her errands really. If the car need registration I paid,now that the car is paid off I am buying it form her for 1500. My question is my unemployment came and she wants  more than  the 1500 for the car. But what about all the work should I owe her rent, I bought my own food? I feel like I slaved if all of those hours or work was for not like I owe her back rent  ..what do you think should I owe her back rent for the last three months and  did I do too much for use of a car bill being paid?

    If you don't have a written rental agreement/contract, then you never had to pay her a dime in the first place.

    the solution to your issues is, find your own place to live and quit helping her out all the time. Get a life. You only have one. And seems to me you have at least one daughter, so you already raised your own kids. Why raise her kids too?

    Trying to read that confusing block of text made my head hurt. It sounds like you had an agreement with your daughter to do the cleaning, child care, etc in exchange for the use of the car, cell phone bill, and car insurance. And you were fine with this arrangement until your daughter wants to change the purchase price of the car. I have no idea what a fair price for the car is. If you don’t want to pay what your daughter is asking, then don’t buy the car. It also sounds like you need to move out to put the expectation of rent away. I think you did things for her because she’s your daughter and now you are hurt because she’s making it about money.
