[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 408187, member: 9175"] Gft is coming to stay with me for 1.5 weeks. I posted about this on another thread: her dad is going out of town and won't let her stay at his place while he's away. I said she was welcome here if she was willing to honor my rules and also that she'd have to come willingly ... I could not and would not force her. She called yesterday and asked if she could stay and acually seems happy about it. I reiterated that she'd have to live by the rules here and she said that she knew and would. Last time this happened, it went well...but it was only four days. I know difficult children are famous for promises and she is one who is highly manipulative and a skilled liar. I will have to lock up my cash and certain valuables, but there is a part of me that is looking forward to it. She'd been hinting that her car needed work and I was quite blunt in saying that I wouldn't help her fix it ... she needs to get a job AND she had savings which is now gone Also, I'd paid for a speeding ticket she'd gotten after she promised to send me part of her paycheck (she was in college at the time and working part time). Of course this never happened. Last night, Ostrich called and asked if I'd split the expense with him. He used "the car might be dangerous" arguement with me....I gave him the same reply and added: if the car is dangerous and she doens't have the money to fix it, she shouldn't be driving it. She's in for a real shock coming from his house into mine.... [/QUOTE]
