Filthy Friday!!!!

Flame free, dirty confessions of the week ;-)

I booted my daughters best friend. Yep, washed my hands of him and his whole nasty family.
Backround: she has autism. He had tourettss and OCD. They were in a lot of classes together in elementary school. His family is typical "white trash" and do nothing to better themselves or the life of this poor kid.

Anyway, I have been inviting this boy over and taking him out doing fun things since he was 6. Now they're both 13. This kid has an obsession with cell phones and recently got one. He will spend hours a day harrassing people on it thinking they are all his best friends.
Anyway, I invited this kid over last weekend for his birthday. Took him out to eat and gave him cake and presents when we got back. Even sent 10 cupcakes home for his family because he tells me they don't do anything special for his b-days.
Drop him off, come back to find my cell charger and husbands bluetooth missing. Turn entire house upside down, twice. It is only 1200 sq ft and relatively neat..I email his mom and ask if he could have accidently come home with this stuff. She ignores my email for 3 days.. I un-friend his mom and this kid on FB because I am so disgusted. Yep.
She calls 3 days later saying she asked him where the charger and bluetooth is and he doesn't know. Period. Of course. Why didn't I think of this? Also throws in that since he has OCD, he cannot leave things alone and shouldn't be held responsible if something is lost. Ugh. Nothing I can do. But I refuse to be stolen from, especially from a kid that I have gone above and beyond for (which is never reciprocated by his family).
Oh and thank you ladies to every one who participated in last weeks post. You gave me the inspiration to finally shave my legs!! LOL

I am in. My Filth of the week: NON PAYING RENTERS! We are facing serving eviction and honestly can't afford it and don't know how to do it and will need to get lawyers involved. I only owe 11 years on that house and it is my 'retirement' plan. I am stressed to the max about losing it, them thrashing it, trying to get new renters FAST, and the finances to keep it going. I would have worked with them, but broken promise after broken promise and they have burned their bridges. UGH. Right now they are behind for January and Feb and with late fees and water bill owe us about 2800 bucks (but they gave us 1325 deposit)

Prayers welcome.

***(Michelle, did I miss your bfp post?? Congratulations hon!! Have a happy and healthy rest of your pregnancy okay! Did I have you on the list under Michelle?? )

Prayers that they get out - without trashing the place - and you get reliable renters in there soon. 

I know times are hard for people right now...but it's a two sided coin and inflicting their hardship on you and your family is unbelievably selfish.

[[hugs]]

Hi Shari!
Thank you! Yes, I was under the list as Michelle. I guess I can officially be taken off now :)
My SIL had this problem with renters recently. Actually, she decided after 2 familes screwed her over, that she would only accept familes with Section 8. That has been working out well and unfortunately, is the only way she is guaranteed a check every month. I hope it all works out soon!

Yeah, you needed to give him the boot.  I know I've not walked in the shoes of a parent of a child with any sort of disorders...but stealing?  Not so good...and I am not really the type to give a free pass to someone because they have whatever disorder.

My rumble of the week is too political to get into here (politics is not really a subject for this board).  Suffice it to say my husband's from Egypt - my MIL and BIL are still there - and I'd just like everything to be overwith already before more people are killed/injured.

You're funny re shaving your legs.  Did DH even notice?

Thanks Holly. I know he has issues but his parents didn't handle the situation right. I also know that my daughter gets nothing out of these playdates anymore and they are actually no longer a good idea. Another thing that still irritates me is that they do not teach him any manners or social skills. After I had my MC last October, he actually sat in my living room asking me repeatedly "why did your baby die?' with his mother sitting right there who should have stopped him after the first time. His parents do nothing to help his disabilities, they ignore them and refuse to put him on meds for his tics. As a result they he makes about 10 loud "boop" noises per minute. They also took him out of his special ed class and put him in mainstream where he is bullied every day for his tics. His life is miserable and I have tried to make it better but I have reached my limit.. As a parent of a child with a disabliity, I have no tolerance for people who ignore their kids problems especially when they are diagnosed disorders. I have given this woman multiple names of doctors who can help and she does nothing. It is so frustrating but I can no longer let it consume me.
Thanks for listening to my ramblings :(

I got one.  I just had to treat my daughter's head for the 3rd time since Christmas.  I am now going to clean my house again and wash and dry everything again to get everything.  Someone at her school has to have head lice that she keeps getting it from.  It's really getting annoying that people just do not take the time to check their child's head.  Everytime I see her scratch, I check.  I am paranoid like that.  I cannot keep doing this.  I have told her that she must keep her hair pulled up from now on and is not allowed to hug anyone at school anymore.  She told me that there is one girl that she hugs hello every morning.

Hi Cass, my mom used to go through that with my sister all the time. The "lice' carrier in the classroom needs to be treated, as well as her entire household. And they have to wash all the sheets in ho****er.
My sister's best friend costantly had lice as a kid, she lived in an overcrowded house with like 14 people and they all passed it back and forth for years. My  mom eventually cut my sisters hair reeeeaaaallly short.
Does the school nurse know about it? They should get involved and talk to the family.

Just an FYI- YOU should not be treating your daughter while pregnant, if using the conventional lice treatments. It soaks into your skin and exposes the baby...You can call your doctor's office and request a script for something pregnancy friendly...

I'll join in....I guess it's a rant as much as just being sad and frustrated.

We've had a roommate since October. She is a good friend of mine. She has been in and out of work and has recently started a new job. Well, she has a dog that has had a few accidents in the house and poops all over our back patio too.
So needless to say, hubby is missing his 'privacy' and clean house/backyard.

Today, after 6+ inches of snow on top of 3 inches of ice (way to go Texas weather). She put her pup outside while she went to work because I was planning on going to work and couldn't leave the dog in the house and take a chance of a 'mess'.

So she came back...saying she couldn't leave her dog outside, it wasn't safe. I told her not to worry, I was in the process of bringing her dog in since my work finally called and closed the office. She was already in tears saying she was tired of being a burden/inconvenience. When she got here, I was already drying her dog off and warming her up...she took her dog from me and was crying and saying she's tired of walking on eggshells and that she knows my husband doesn't like her or her dog being here...

So now she says she's going to find somewhere else to live. She's not sure how, since she doesn't have any money. But that she can't stay here anymore.

So...hubby heard the whole thing. If he didn't than he is just deaf! He's not saying anything, I'm ticked at him for making my friend feel this way. I need her! She has been here for me through my pregnancy more than my husband has. I'm afriad to lose her.

At the same time, we let her use our spare car that has been sitting. It's currently torn apart in our driveway because she had it assessed incorrectly and by a mechanic that is screwing us. Now I'm afraid of it not getting fixed (the practical side of me coming out)...She is supposed to be handling the repairs in exchange for using the car.

What do I do??
