When extended family stays longer than planned

My mom has been staying with us for six months since her surgery and we all thought it would be temporary but now she doesn't want to leave and my partner and I are starting to snap at each other about things we never fought about before. We haven't figured out how to talk about this without someone feeling like the bad guy.
