My give a damn has got up and gone....
I have had it. Sunday, SD 24 came over to visit DH-I know-DH told her not to come over b/c of the dog incident, but as usual, the went by the wayside. Anyway, on a lighter note, she was decent, asked how I felt after the accident, and didn't run over anymore animals (I put the dogs in the house when she left....). During our little visit, DH reminded me that we needed to give SD a check for 1/2 her rent. We had agreed that if she is in school, we would help her with her rent :sick: Her rent is $300-so I wrote a ckeck for $150. (Note: I myself spoke to SD before and we agreed upon $150) Well, yesterday DH and I somehow got into a conversation about the $150 check-DH almost blew a gasket! He stated that we are going to pay ALL her rent! Whoa, I said-SD and I agreed to 1/2!! He called SD and I guess she told him that she needed money (she works a f/t job-nite classes 2 nites a week..). I just cannot make this man understand!!
By the way, she was also busy telling DH how she "lost" her atm card at a bar this past weekend...AWWWWW....
I'm just gonna leave-I cannot sit back and inable this person anymore..
Thanks for the vent.

I don't see exactly why your
I don't see exactly why your DH feels he has to pay her rent when she has a full time job but if she is in college and you agreed - then fair enough. 24 is well into adulthood, and I think you have been extremely generous in writing a cheque for $150. My DD29 and DD27 have been self financing since college, they took out loans (UK govt) to go to college and are still paying them back. I hope your SD appreciates your generosity.
Agreed to pay 1/2-not
Agreed to pay 1/2-not all...DH just keeps on enabling, with his head so far up her ass he can't hear or think. Soon to be not my problem...Besides, she's probably lying about being in school-that's happened before-DH won't hear of checking up on that, either....
The poor puppy! I hope & pray
The poor puppy! I hope & pray he is doing better!
When you leave, press criminal charges on her a$$. I have no sympathy for people who do such evil things to animals.
Foxie- Thanks for your
Foxie-
Thanks for your input-Dh and I are currently "talking"...I'm kinda ignorant about how to go about checking on SD's college status-I always thought that most colleges would not release that info-Can you help? And thanks Anon-Pup is doing good-He's my sanity-"That which doe not kill you will only make you stronger...."
And.."Pull yourself up by your bootstraps..." Things can only get better.....
My DH is the same, he refuses
My DH is the same, he refuses to question SD on her supposed college costs, she wants money but is not asked for documentation and we are 'not allowed to pay the school directly for her'. Um, bullshit!!! Then she miraculously 'worked it out', amazing!!
Yeah-I've heard that one
Yeah-I've heard that one before, too!!! Like when she needed $2,000.00 for a car repair. When I called her on it, she miraculously made a deal to make payments on the repair....
