It's actually a mother-in-law suite (with her own entrance, kitchen, living space) in a small community about 8 miles away. Rent is nominal ($200 per month) IF she agrees to babysit a few nights per week. Property is owned by a signle dad who owns a poopular business in town. I don't know him,but I know enough people around his business to check him out. Dad has custody of three boys, all under the age 8.
While this has many possiblities of being not a good thing ... it has potential to be a good thing. It's furnished, except for a bed . It is in a very safe area,...
I said very little, but did say that she needed to work out, in writing, what his "babysitting" expectations would be.
I'm also nervous about her renting from a single, older, man ... but her behavior in that area has been long out of my hands.
What has me feeling a bit relieved is that she did this on her own. She found the place, made the call, and is handling it. She can afford the rent. She said she can move in next week.
We'll see. I know she could not go on here ... i pray this is a tiny step toward responsibility and independence.
Cross fingers, everyone!
