My newest lesson from the school of hard knocks

Tweet

I had taken a friend into my home, well, someone I thought was a friend, to help her get her life together, well, she had just been kicked out of her apartment, she told me the landlord was unreasonable and nosey and I took her word for it. Well, we let her an her boyfriend move in for a while, she soon started invading the whole home, waking us up from our sleep for silly things or from them having the TV too loud, made one huge mess, refused to help clean, was useing our electricity, smoking our cigs, eating our food, all this without any gratfulness, didn't contribute to our home, basically was freeloading, well, we were willing to try and help her break that habit, tried talking to her about it kindly, tried giving her many chances, and what does she do? Threaten to kill me sun conure, Vergil, we kicked her out and she turns around and calls the cops on us! Tells them the bird attacked her! Now Vergil is only about the size of my hand, sweet little hing, beak isn't even strong enough to break skin, well she suddenly has a mark on her head larger than his beak and clams Vergil did it to her! So needless to say this has been a very stressful night, the cops escorted them from our home, they are coming to retreive their belongings today (which I know there is going to be a fiasco when they come get their stuff, thus why I'm going to have my phone in hand ready to call the cops if needed) This almost makes me want to stop helping people! But I won't do that, I won't stop helping people, however, I will no longer give second chances, if someone messes up then that's it!I'm not going to repeat this mistake. I guess my father was right, it is possable to care too much........
