28-3-2009 - sick and tired of this crap

My mood while writing this blog: pissed

---

ok, let me give a lil background, a shipmate of my DH payed to get our apt until the military reimburses us, that was 6 months ago, he has stayed here since, its been decided since hes stayed here that instead of repaying the 2000 he payed just 1000 would do. the reimbursment check should be here any day. My sister got in a bind and I told her she could stay with us for the time being, her and shipmate began seeing each other, now they are an item. sis has been here bout 3 weeks. this month money is a bit tighter due to an extra bill so the groceries are thin. we spent the last of DH paycheck on groceries. Sis recieved 200 from my mom the other day and goes out with hernew boyfriend all the time and eats out, buys beer, etc. so far between the two of them this month theyve bought bread, milk(and shipmate drinks nothing but milk) a bag of sugar, cookies they have stashed in thier room and cigarettes(house full of smokers) In my opinion instead of going out and eating at fast food or buying beer they should be buying groceries since they have no problem helping us eat them.Ive still got 2 more days till payday and have no idea what Im going to make to eat tomorrow. I had to scrounge together something for dinner tonight only to watch them bring in mcdonalds bags and throw them away. Its not like they haveto pay bills or anything else but some damn help with food would be appreciated and Im close to blowing up at them over this

WoW! If talking to them doesnt help , I would put locks on the cabinets or something. If they dont want to help pay for ALL the food then they shouldnt get to eat it. And half the money your mom send your sister should go to you if she is staying with you rent free and not paying for utilities or food! I def. commend you on your patience... i would have snapped by now!

im sorry to hear thing arent working out right now.believe me, i know EXACTLY wat your feeling and going thru right now. i have been in that same situation with a friend and her boyfriend. except with them it was more then food, it was rent and utilities. but i think u should jus have a little talk with them, i know u might feel bad or out of place but it has to be done. explain to them that u have a family to support and them not helping u out much and eating all the food is leaving u with nothing to feed you and your kids. im sure they are so wrapped up in their new relationship that they are jus not seeing the big picture. and if it comes down to it label the items u buy and tell them to keep thier hands off.i know it sounds a little extreem but u gotta do wat u gotta do for your children, especially when your the one who has to scrounge rto feed them and they are walking in wit Mc Donalds. but before u do all that just talk to them. u dont want the house to be filled with tension all the time u know. i hope things work out !

It sounds like they're taking advantage of you since he's a friend and she's family. You really should sit them down and talk to them. If they don't want to go grocery shopping ask them to at least chip in 50.00. I mean that's only 25 a piece. Or you could do what a friend of mine did get a mini fridge for your room (you can get one for about 200 at wal-mart) and put a key lock on your door.

I completely understand where you are coming from. My hubby and I were in this postiton last year. It does get really annoying......eventually we just had to say something and it's either help out...or get out. Good luck!!!

I'd be irked to and would probably say something. I hope it works out and they start chipping in.
