I was minding my own business on FB last night and got my usual advertisements telling me about pages or businesses that I might "like" and came across one with BM's name on it. Out of curiosity I clicked on it, and lo and behold BM is selling crap on FB. Homemade hair clips to be exact. So you moved away from your job, it conveniently "burned down" in the interim, and now you are selling crappy, ugly, hair clips that I would not clip to the rear end of the blind senile dog that lives next door and calling that a business. Ok, then.
I would be the first one to give her props if she actually grew some brains and tried to make something of herself legitimately. We have been hoping and praying for years that she would. 3 years ago she started taking an accounting/tax prep course (paid for by all of us tax payers, not her), while knocked up, mind you. And then dropped out of it after about 6 months. She went on and on about how she would be making more money than us and we were like, "Great!" After that failed venture, she got a paper route that lasted a few months, than didn't work, than got a job at a bar for a few months, then moved. And is now selling "custom made quality hair clips", which are basically metal clips with a fake flower or a piece of ribbon tacky glued on.
Ok, sweetie, how many hair clips are you going to need to sell at $1.50 a piece to put food on your table, pay rent, phone bill, health ins, etc... Oh, that's right, your dumb ass "fiancee" and the gubmint are paying for all that. Not to mention that it is prob not a legal business venture by means of tax id, proper license, and that she is not going to report her earnings or pay taxes on the pittance she is going to earn. What she is most likely going to do is use it to put some gas in her car to drive up to the gas station to get beer and some marb. lights. My BD and his BM have the same thesis on life, "As long as I have enough $ for a pack of smokes and a 6 pack of beer everyday, I can find some idiot to pay for everything else I need." (I doubt she is making THAT much with her "business", but you get my point.)
I would LOVE to stay home and haphazardly assemble crafts, but I have to bring in a certain amount of money every week to put food on MY table that YOUR kid eats, put a roof over MY family's head (including YOUR child), buy clothing (also for YOUR child) and I guess, pay taxes so that YOU and your 2 other illegitimate kids have food, shelter, and insurance. But that's nice BM, I'm glad you are working really hard for your pocket money.
