I either have lots of hours and a good paycheck, or not so many hours but no babysitting problems. It sucks. Our chef got a new job, so that sucks...they also hired two (just summer) part time people. I thought I was done with the 3:30 shifts, I was wrong. I am bummed and depressed a little bit. I want my INCOME TAX!!! Not much to say, I hope things get better soon!

first I would like to say thank you to all who commented on my past two posts. I have come a long way, and still have a long way to go. I am trying to make good choices and not do dumb things ao I can start saving money. Everytime I start to save Something unexpected comes up and I have to spend my money. Like one reader said..Two steps forward and one step back. It sucks. But I thank God every day that we moved almost a year ago...that was for the best. I will be ok and I will get over my problems and survive. Thank you to all who read my blog.

I am not asking my mother to support me my husband and my child. I am asking for help or understanding. I know that I made an agreement with her about the rent and I intend to uphold it..but the one person I expect understanding from is my mother. I'd like to say I need an extra week to pay and she be ok..maybe not happy but ok. All I have ever asked for is a little gas money, a little food etc. I have been married 13 years and have had help a total of 5 years. (if you add all the times together.)

When, or if the time comes I will help my daughter...if she is a bummm and does not work, then she will get little to no help. I help those who help themselves. I will even let her live with me if necessary, and if I have the space.

It is not my moms fault...how she raised me...no. This is my problem and I am getting better as time goes on. I feel that this would not have happened if I had my income taxes.

Anyway, no matter how you feel or your thoughts or openions I welcome all comments and advice.

Most times when I get around my mother I feel like I am five years old...I feel like a bummm and a baby. Sometimes my mom only sees my faults and not the few things I have done well/right. I have come a long way in the past year or two and I FEEL like sometimes she just dosen't give me any credit. I try not and will not compare my husbands fanmily to mine, mainly becouse his mother has passed. BUTTTT, they did not judge me....they said, You owe us some money, you will pay when you can. My rent that I pay my mother goes into a savings account untill the taxes or insurance is due. Its not like she has to pay her personal bills with my rent.....Still I am a bummmm for being late. I feel like I am always being judged. My husband works hard too, he does not do too many house chores but he provides money....Without his help the car insurance would have not been paid.

I am not saying I am a perfect mother, I am not! But, I will be respectful to my daughter if she ever has any financial problems. I will know where she is comming from becouse I have been there. I will make her feel comfortable to come and talk to me and I will listen or help or whatever is needed at the time. Sometimes I feel like a stranger in my mothers home.

How much help (financial) should a parent give an adult child?? Would you be understanding or bothered that you had to bail your child out of THEIR mess??? Would you place limits on the amount of help you give?? Or would it be If I have it and it dosen't hurt me its yours???????????????

Someone please respond

last night I wanted to come on here and vent, gripe, bitch...I work my assss off and still never seem to have enough money. My husband works hard too. It sucks. I am just unhappy. I want my tax money now!!!!! I may not pay all of this months rent and have to explain why to my mother. I am nervous...gas prices suck. They will be at or over 4 dollars by Monday. They climb 5 to 10 cents A DAY. I am just so bummed. First my tv died then we had a tire die. WE HAD to replace the tire, it was a matter of safety. I am just so unhappy right now. I want my money!!!! We work and never get ahead. I'm just in a mood, I'll try to be positive later....
