Family

Tweet

My situation is somewhat unique. I am 1year and 1 week away from turning 50. My husband is already in his 50's. We are buying our home. My mother loves with us, as being the oldest, I'm trying to support her. She's in her 60's and can't work. My baby sister and son live with us. As a single parent, she doesn't make enough income to support herself and child, who just entered the teen years. I love my family, but there are days that I wish they would realize how good they've had it. Trying to support mom, we don't have her pay us anything. We don't require her to do anything. Yet, she puts stuff on FB to make it look like I'm making her do all the cleaning, cooking, and buying groceries. My sister, when she moved in, was supposed to pay me $150 a month for rent. She done had her car repossessed. Right as we were getting a 2nd vehicle. She asked if she could use my car. We told her yes as long as she paid half the car note. Now that I lost my job, I ask them to pitch in a bit. Asked mom to pay the water bill(it's the lowest bill). Told sister she'll have to pay the whole car note. They both want to complain!! Dang!! Hubby and I have taken care of all the bills. I had to give up my direct sell business as utilities went up. Now that I've been fired, and need help, it's an inconvenience. I'm just sick of it.
