So it's been 3 weeks since I posted my spiel on living with my boyfriend's sister and how I need to get out and my boyfriend wanted to stay until she got a job. So here's the update. It's been 3 weeks and she still has no job. Still haven't seen her look for anything. The closest thing I've seen her do is basically run a freakin' babysitting service out of the house. Just about every day I come home from work and there's a new kid there. I believe I expressed my dislike with the one kid she has...then to add other kids is getting unbearable. I really don't like kids right now. I'm sure it's just a phase and I'll like kids when I have my own...but right now everything that they do that people think is "cute" I just find highly annoying and find myself having to restrain from actually doing something to them. One day she had 3 other kids in addition to her own. My God. I would have rather slept out in the streets and hope that a car ran over me. Seriously. Me no likey kids. But anyway...she still has no job. We're still paying her bills. I get paid once a month, and this is the 1st month of that, so I finally got caught up with my bills. I had to pay 2 months of my car payment, a whole month to Rent a Center and the storage unit with a late fee...all because we're broke because of her. I got paid yesterday for a whole month...and now today have less than $100 because of having to catch up on mine and my boyfriend's bills. I had a chat with my boyfriend about it, and he told me everything I had been complaining to everyone else about. So he gave me the OK to look for a house. But it's still incredibly hard to do, since we're broke because of his sister. He had a chat with her about us paying for everything and she immediately started saying how she wasn't trying to make us do everything. And how she wasn't trying to keep us from getting our own place...which that's exactly what she is doing. We can't save money...and I would rather stay in a hotel than stay there. At least we'd be blowing our hard earned money on US and not HER. I'm still extremely bitter and angry and frustrated about the whole ordeal...but I'm trying to bide my time until a house that we can get pops up and leave her on her tooshie to try and fend for herself. I feel bad saying that...because I love her as a person...not when she's done nothing but mooch. I don't care about her financial well-being anymore, I don't care if she has food or not, I don't care if she has her precious diet sodas and all her name brand everything because she won't cheap out...when it's not even her money. I don't care about her son. I'm completely done caring about anything...I want to be on our own again. And seeing as how she's been out of work for easily 2 months (I don't know the exact time) it's very clear that she's not going to do anything while we're there. And I'm extremely glad that my boyfriend is finally starting to realize that.
Also, the other night she was talking to her dad on her walkie talkie phone thing and he started talking about us and for her to not let US take advantage of HER. She apparently just tells people we're staying with her...not that we're paying for every thing under the son for her. I think that was the straw that broke the camel's back for my boyfriend. He was piiiiissssed when he heard their dad say that. But anywho, that's update #1...hopefully update #2 will be me saying we found a house.

Is your boyfriend good at home repairs or at least capable? My stepson was looking for a place to rent and a real estate agent who had a duplex available gave him credit for doing work to it before he moved in. He had to fix walls, paint, lay new carpet and install a floor in the unit nextdoor so he didn't have to pay a security deposit and probably only paid $200 cash before moving in. But, my husband was a general contractor so he taught his son how to do a lot of things. If you and your boyfriend are willing to do a little work you may be able to save some money getting into a place of your own. You or he should call the real estate companies in your area and ask about available rentals that might need some work before move in. Also check the paper for people who have houses to rent. With real estate being slow someone might be willing to work with you on the financial cost of getting in the door so that they can start earning income from the property. Good luck.
