New office, sharing, major mistake?

So i got tired of working from home for 16 years, so i rented office space.
To reduce costs i asked a mom from my son's school if she wanted to sit in my unit as well to split costs.

She's pretty succesful in what she does, but recently sold her office for quite some change.

So, i got the unit keys (i am not allowed to subrent) and went there. A day later she moved in her husband, painter, plummer and carpenter.

It's temp office space, so i wasn't planning on spending a lot of cash there. She however has a bundle of (extra) cash and is throwing that in to make the unit look great, in which she succeeded. However, i am the contractee, i was doing her a favour by aski8ng her share with me.

Now, this is the first time i share anything, haha. Not for nothing i do not have a boss.

Questions:
1. Did she overstate her welcome, or is she just being nice with her hands-on mentality?
2. Am i whining?
3. Did i make a classic mistake by asking her 50% of what i have to pay, making it look like we are equal in this?
4. Is this typical female behaviour?
5. Do all women ask their hubby to come over all the time?
6. By asking her, did i actually ask her AND everybody she knows?
7. Is there a way back?

We shortly spoke about this a week ago, she apologized. She acknowledged she went fast, elaborating she knew i had a smaller budget and i could benefit from her speedy fixes. However, yesterday there were two guys doing choires again, one of which we agreed i should take of.

Now, i am one of those people who hates to benefit from others. So it worked the other way around;-).



Is she just annoying and should i sit it out, since it is a temp space (could be 4 months, could be a couple years)?

Am i just not used to the way things work at the office and do i have to shut up and be happy since it aint getting better, ever, with anybody?

I'm difficult, i know that, hence the questions;-) Any other person could have been happy as hell with her fixing everything.

My main concern is I am the contractee, i asked her to join me since she needed office space, however she is taking care of thnigs without ever consulting me, or even asking my approval on things there.

- end of rant ;-)
