well i have complained much of a woman in my life, whom i am glad to say i stood my ground this weekend, and hopefully she will cease to drive me insane.
4 out of the 5 work days of last week i was driving her around. in her husbands car, but it is still a 4-5 mile trip to her house. all in all i drove 32-40 to and from her home in my car last week, and simply asked for $5 gas money in compensation. her husband refused to pay! which i found out last night as she shows up at my door to ask for me to drive her again this week. i had already decided that i will no longer be her taxi, and i am so proud of myself because even in the face of her tears i stood my ground.
this sounds cruel, except that i have my own life and the fact that my house was a wreck this weekend, bacause i had little chance to keep it clean, makes me feel as a traitor to my family. also removing the toddler car seat from my car and putting it back in once a day took a toll on the tightness of the belt, and left me retightening by myself in the back of my tiny car. i am not a tiny woman. also this woman only seems to know how to take and take and take, and ask for more! sometimes not even asking, just assuming that i have the time and the will to do for her.
oh yeh the reason her dh hardly does naything for her is because he works out of state all week. she has no license, and absolutely no responsibility or desire to help herself. she asked me how it is she is to find a job without me to drive her around. i told her flat out it is not my problem. her dh makes more than mine and they pay less rent, as well as being paid once a week, we are only paid once a month. they would not be in such financial problems if they simply worked harder to budget. she does not need a job, and i doubt she could keep any she did acquire.
either way hopefully now i will have more time to spend spamming here in gd....umm..not spamming no. i will not make any horribly disgusting attempts to raise my post count. indeed i have yet to care how small it is, why should i start now??? oh yeh cause i have nothing better to do!
oh and um....i used the abbreviation "dh" which means dear husband and used widely on my baby boards. which this was actually a copy and paste from, as i do have a child to care for, and not enough time to re-type all of it.
please know simply that i hope to be able to spend more time here lurking and enjoying myself rather than stressing over her.
