Reason being? Because I was looking at apartments. Yep, I think they realized that I'm not going to be here long and they know the whole "we can find someone else to live here for $500" BS doesn't work on me. Please, why would someone pay that much to live in a tiny room when they live in a town where they can get a small apartment for that price? When people rent rooms out in this area it's about $100 (maybe $150-200 to cover bills) they charge. Anyways, they ended up changing their mind so I came back (I guess they figure I'll be on my knees begging for mercy instead of actually packing up and walking out). But my bag is staying packed. I don't trust them. I never had. Never will. And they shouldn't be blaming me cause they want to blow over $200 on drinking and gambling when they know they can't afford it. Even if I was paying rent they still couldn't afford that. Even more so when they have a vehicle that needs to be fixed. It's not my fault they can't be responsible with their own money.
Anyways, I'm off to apply for jobs.
omg your parents are kind of crazy, lol. Wow, it sounds like they were just threatening you and thought you would beg to be allowed to stay and that way they would have leverage over you. I'm glad you stuck to your guns and didn't cave, that way they cannot take advantage of you. Good luck with the job hunting, I know how frustrating it can get!
ReplyDeleteNasimiyu: Yeah, my Mom and Step-Dad would be perfect for Jerry Springer. And they wonder why I keep my distance from them. I told them straight out that I would rather live on the street then be here with them any day.
ReplyDeleteJane: That's the plan. Once I get a job, get enough for first month and last month rent, I'm out.
