Really, can someone explain to me how these kids skate through life, receiving absolute miracles when they need it most? In one way, I'm happy for Kat that the stars have aligned for her, but on the other hand I'm just furious that she lives this irresponsible life, yet everything works out. As I posted earlier I threw her out a couple of weeks ago and she had called my mom. This is when my parents found out she did not have a working car. To be honest public transportation in our mid-sized town is weak and difficult to use. But such is life when you are an idiot. My parents called me and asked if I thought it would be ok and would be a help to Kat if they bought her a decent used car. Honestly, it would be a big help to her, but still basically you can treat me terrible, get thrown out of the house and get a car? So I told them, yes, especially with the baby. My parents can more than afford it, so ok. They were going to come down here and spend the day with me looking for an appropriate car, but then a family friend who owns several dealerships calls and tells them he found the car. It's a 2000 Impala owned by some elderly people who originally bought it new from him, only put 35,000 miles on it and traded it in for a new car. Then they pay for 6 months of insurance for her. She now has a nicer car than I do, with paid insurance. OK, it's a good break.
Next she gets a full-time job with benefits at a daycare, 9-5 M-F, and is paid for her mileage driving to and from work. Finally she is accepted at an apartment complex. Granted, not the best in town, but still she has 2 evictions on her credit and no real stable job until a few days ago. St. Vincent DePaul is giving her a used living room set, kitchen table and new beds for her and the baby. So you can lose all your personal possessions and someone will replace them for free.
Don't get me wrong- these are all good things, and who knows? Maybe this will get her on her feet and help get her head straightened out. But seriously, why have I worked so hard my whole life and still struggle on occassion to pay the bills, etc. It's frustrating. Not to be bitter because I know these are good things for her. But seriously????
