Today when I got out of school, I went to my step sister's house like I always do, because she was supposed to give me a ride home. It wasn't until I walked into the house that I realized just how bad she has it all.



- Her and her boyfriend are getting evicted from their house because they cannot afford the bills; they stayed long past when they were supposed to move out.

- She and her boyfriend have two kids, one five weeks old and the other five years old. The five year old is hell; this morning he was screaming and yelling because he had to get a nebulizer or something so he didn't cough. He was screaming and yelling, and my step sister made oatmeal for him, and he wanted toast and began to cry all over again.

- They have no food in their cabinets, fridge and freezer aside from oatmeal and spices and dishes.

- They can't find a new place to move to that they can afford. Winter is coming and with it strong blizzards, and they will most likely be moving during one.

- They always eat out of the house. Today I can understand because her boyfriend got fifty dollars from the Chamber of Commerce for being the employee of the month; you can spend those dollars just about anywhere in the town. But even then, what about groceries?

- Her boyfriend is a richard. She kids around and offers to give me her boyfriends shirt, and he flips.

     "What the hell! Don't give away my shirt! I need as many shirts as I can, since LAUNDRY NEVER GETS DONE AROUND HERE!"

     *She discusses where to put pizza in the fridge if they order it. Semi-smart, planning ahead;
     "I DON'T loving KNOW, CASSIE, JUST GET THE loving PIZZA!"

- No daycare will take her newborn until it is six weeks old; until then, she has to stay at home, and she does not get paid for it. Bills are due next week, and they're already way past.

- Discussing money on the ride home, she said she has $61 in her checking account and $17 in her savings.



I can't loving imagine being in her shoes. I honestly can't.

Discuss. :(

That's what she gets for getting together with a moron.

And a great idea to have two kids by the way.

That wouldn't be a smart move

No, it wouldn't. I thought about that today, too, she would be worse off on her own because she has no chance of surviving financially.

Second was an accident. "Accident."

I hate reading about these type of lives, they make me sad :(



I feel really bad for your sister :[
I wish there was something I could do to help. Why don't you let her move into your house?

Our house isn't big enough for another two children and two adults; we ourselves are moving soon.

So I'm guessing you aren't angry at her anymore?

Also, the boyfriend kind of sounds loveist.  Tell him to do his own loving laundry; it isn't a woman's job.
You know, if he is being loveist.  I seem to have trouble with that.

Also, you might be able to help her out by donating some money.  Anything to help, I 'spose.

I know, right? It's her job to do laundry AND cook.

Lol. "Go wash my clothes, bitch!"

This is my step sister, not half sister. Different people, but glad that topic made an impression on you.

I agree, that's what I said in my head when it came out of his mouth.

Whenever my dad gives her gas money to bring my half sister and I home, he always gives her a bunch more than she needs to go, what, 25 miles. 40 dollars for four days.
