Well, I called H on my lunch break...for two reasons. First my mother's washer is broken and I need to wash clothes in a bad way so I thought I would ask if I could use H's. Second, when H moved here he didn't bring the lawnmower or the weedeater with him. Someone I used to work with wanted to buy them so I was calling to see if he left them in the garage or the storage building.
On the lawnmower/weedeater...he had to fess up that he gave them to OW when he left. I suspected this, it just irritates me that he told me they were at the house...he could have said when I asked about them that he gave them away and left it at that...but whatever I guess no reason to dwell on that now.
So, when I asked about using his washer he said very excitedly..."Of course you can use my washer!! Just call me when you get of work." Followed by "...I need to ask you a favor too." He sounded really sad when he said that. He said "I have no groceries...I feel horrible asking you this, but do you mind if we go get some groceries today? I only had money to buy a bag of chips at lunch today." Hmmmm....maybe he shouldn't have bought that beer last weekend.
So anyway, he hasn't gotten a paycheck for the job he just started...he said hopefully he will get one Friday. Plus he hasn't been able to work both jobs because the times don't work out...but he is scheduled to work at the restaurant on both of his off days this week. SO, since he hasn't been at the restaurant and hasn't gotten a paycheck since he started (about 2 weeks)...I can understand why he has no money. I will give him the benefit of the doubt until he starts getting that paycheck.
Next month he should be able to pay all his bills himself. If he can't pay the car payment on his salary then he will have to sell it. Plain and simple. I will give him until he starts getting his paycheck...then there is no more help. You are right Michelle, if he needs to be independent then taking care of his own finances is part of it. I really feel like I am dealing with a child here.
