Oh, sweetie. Get rid of him. Find a new roomie. He's a child, he's always been a child, and he will never grow up. You don't need this stress. I'm telling you - advertise for a roommate. Someone out there will not mind that you have a child.
Almost everyone who would want to room with me would be college kids. And they would hence have issues with child. I'm going to try this a little longer (don't smack me!!) and see what happens. if I can stick it out until November, I should have two raises under my belt. That SHOULD be enough to subsist. In theory. *crosses fingers and prays* 'til then... yeah. tantrums. Damnit. *sighs*
I love you too, Lainee, but you haven't even tried. You just assume that it will be a problem, and so you keep yourself living in a situation that has GOT to be not only harmful to you, emotionally, but also to your son. I know that you don't think you deserve to be happy (even though you DO) but can't you at least admit that you don't deserve to be UNHAPPY? Do you really want a subsistence-level existence?
I just want you to be happy and healthy. Make a deal with me. Advertise on one of those 'I want a roommate' websites or in your local paper, and say you want a young professional who doesn't mind living with someone who has a child. If nobody responds ... then I'll shut up. But if you /do/ get responses ... then you have to do a sexy dance for me. Hehehe! :)
Okay, okay. I'll look into it. Not promising anything (because it's a change, and change is scary, etc, etc). I also haven't had the best of luck with roomies... but I'll look into it. Promise.
::hugs:: Oh Lady-bug, that really sucks. Dev seems more mature than Shane, in a lot of your posts . . . to get upset because your priority of taking care of a frighteningly sick child instead of letting him talk to his girl? Yuck! I have to agree with michael622. I mean, I'm a college student, but I know I wouldn't mind renting a room from you. Pity we live in different states -- but the point is, you might be surprised. Plenty of college students aren't teenagers anymore, too. Non-traditional students usually still have to travel a fair bit to get to school -- perhaps a poster with some info and your phone number, posted on campus, would get some responses. Best of luck with that, and I hope you and Dev feel better soon.
fuck finding a roomie 1st... kick his happy ass out on the street and let him face what reality is when he doesn't have someone supporting his ass... i'm sorry, but after him yelling at you when you are trying to call a Dr. for an emergancy is BULLSHIT... stop being stupid about the change thing, you've taken the 1st step (finally!) w/ dumping his ass, kicking him out is a small one... seriously, if you don't do something soon your sister may have to step in and do something (and everyone knows that won't be purtty)
Okay, one reason I'm not booting Shane's ass out, and I'll admit it, is Dev. We grew up without a dad. He's the only dad Dev knows. I don't know, I know when he's out, he'll ignore Dev. I just know it. Look at how he treats his own girls. I guess I don't want Dev to lose his dad so soon... So, yeah. I'm giving him extra chances. Aaaaaand, waiting 'til November after I should have received my first two raises (one in June, the other, in theory, in November, i believe...)
And damnit, what's the deal with your phone?? Been trying to call you!
If I might suggest... call sbc at work sometime and make sure that he isn't calling her... not so much to check up on him, but to make sure you don't get any suprising phone bills... and that way if he is, you can stop it right away. And never forget, you can always unplug the phone jack from the wall ;)
Nah, we don't have long distance. I cut it off after, well, things just like this (or rather, him calling chicks on the internet and staying on for hours listening to their issues, etc, etc). I have a prepaid calling card to call Mom, and he's never bothered to go get his own. So figure i'm safe that way. Thanks for thinking of it, though, Jen.
(too many darn Jens!! I should start calling you... fifi)
(*ahems* Sorry. hyper this morning. Don't beat me. Fifi)
