thank you to everyone that responded to my discussion about my landlady. after 4 pages of everyone telling me pretty much the same thing i knew what i had to do. so i was ready for their next visit or so i thought. they came down saturday afternoon when we where outside. my youngest was in taking a nap so i went out to ply with the older ones. her and her son came down. she came down to say she was sorry. as most of you know my husband is not working right now because of some personal reasons that he won't tell people. i had a paper we need the landlord to sign so my kids could get medical card. when my husband took it up to him to sign the land lord told him that insteat of this he needed to go get him self a job and not rely on this to take care of my kids. my hsband was so mad! it was none of his busness our rent is paid and thats all he needs to worry about. well his wife came down to apoligize for him,she said she was embaressed that he had said that cuz it was none of his business as long as our rent was paid. she said that he sould be a real jerk and that their marrige is falling apart. she is not aloud to leave to go places and has no friends cuz he don't like them. her mom is in the last stages of lung and bone cancer and he is being a real jerk about that. i asked why she stayed and she said becuase of the little boy. there was so much other crap and she says that she was so happy that we moved in cuz i am the onl;y friend she can have being we live right here. i felt so bad but new i couldn't allow it either. i did put my foot down a little harder with her son and it made it so much easier with us outside. after the baby woke up i said i had to come in cuz he had been sick and i didn't want to take him out. she came in too but my kids stayed out and i wouldn't allow her son to come in either. when he did come in i told him no that it was a nice day and the boys had to stay out for awhile and play. she did sent him back out. after a bit i had some things to do so i just started doing them and thought maybe she would leave but nope she stayed and helped. i was very surprised it was nice really cuz it cut my work in half. she did my dishes and helped fold clothes. so i think i am on the right track anyway and hope it gets even better this summer. it was just hard cuz when we where moving home our families were looking for a place for us and there wasn't anything,one of our family members had talked to a friend that told them about this place they weren't going to rent out right away but did to help us out and they also had the oil tank filled before we got here and that was $1500 and told us not to worry about it till we had the money. we did pay them when we got here but they didn't have to do that so i felt bad saying much because they where so nice to us when we moved in. so thank you again to all of you that helped me relize what i had to do.
