[QUOTE="Lil, post: 668447, member: 17309"] So...long, long conversation with Jabber's sis. She sat them down and made them list what they needed for cigarettes (just him), eating out, etc., in a two week period. Then she advised that she planned on them giving her 80% of their paychecks, which leaves them more than enough. She will then hold the money until they leave at which time she will return it to them, thus getting them used to paying bills while actually saving money for deposits, rent, etc. The girl was fine. Son gave attitude until she forced him to choose...either her way or homelessness. She actually wrote those two things down and made him point to his choice before she'd let him get up from the table. Of course, worse was that she intends for him to repay his girlfriend for the $400 she paid for hotel, etc. for him. He doesn't seem to mind the repaying, but minds the fact that she wants him to repay it in a lump sum. Either way, it's being done mostly to win some favor with her father, who sis is also in touch with. He's already complaining about his back hurting. She's the wrong one to complain to, as she's had two back surgeries and still works. She told him, "Oh I understand, mine hurt too today. I sucked it up and went about my day." She told them, if they have brains they'll stay 6 months and leave with a good amount of money. None of us actually foresee that happening. She understands now what we dealt with...he is sooooo stubborn. He knows everything. He wants immediate gratification and does not care about the future. Which is very bad. She also thinks the girlfriend is pregnant. [/QUOTE]
