This is a really long read but is what's going on in my life right now.
A little bit of history with my mom first... She's borrowed money off and on for years and has burned me a few times (she had/has a gambling problem). We had a fallout and didnt talk for years.
Three years ago I started trying to be a better person, mentally and physically. Decided to give relationship another try. Wasnt long before she started asking for money again. Just told her I didnt have it. Eventually I gave in and would only give her $200 at a time.
So two months ago she calls me asking for $1400 or she's getting evicted. "Yea, dont have it I'm sorry." Get a call a couple days later asking if she can "sleep on living room floor" or they are going to a shelter. Talk to the wife and we agree...mostly bc I dont want to live with the guilt. Told her she had 4 months and she had to sign an agreement, which she said was ok.
She had to borrow roughly $400 from us so she could rent a car and gas. She and her 15 yr old adopted autistic son start driving from Florida to my house in TX. Instead of using money to get groceries, she would get them fast food or Starbucks. Her excuse was it's cheaper to get fast food then to spend it on more groceries. She even rented a car for a couple days so she could take him out bc "they were cooped up".
"Mom, you still havent paid us back and you're eating out, renting a car, going bowling, whatever...its disrespectful."
"We are used to a certain lifestyle and try and tell that to a 15 year old autistic kid."
Hahahaha
"Easy. We have to eat cheap and have no life bc we are living in my son's dining room in his 1500 sq ft house, with his wife and 2 kids."
So I finally give her the agreement today. It lists them as guests and says things like you leave what you came with, duration of stay, 30 day notice at 3 months...sh*t like that. She signs it, hands it back to me and says "dont worry, your stuff is safe now".
"Excuse me?"
"We won't steal your stuff and we'll be out of your hair soon."
"Would you like to leave earlier?"
More stuff was said back and forth. Needless to say it should be an interesting 2 months.
And this is one of the many reasons I LOVE the gym.
