[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 362196"] Fran...you hit the nail on the head. There is really no "do to get" here. Simply, difficult children "word" that she will stay put for the summer. This is meaningless for a variety of reasons. TALAN...Also very accurate. They want to help difficult child and have said that they are gently encouraging her to stay because they recognize that they can be of help. I consider them at this point...blessings! :happy: The only slight caveat is that difficult child complains that she needs to move 'cause the owners of the home will NOT let her use their kitchen facilities and this is a legit complaint. To make up for this "flaw" in the arrangement, they are giving her five dinners a week. However, difficult child is still with-o breakfast, lunch and two dinners. Have not figured out a way to get in a lesson here...I always try to do this and its a bit frustrating. However, we DID come to the same conclusion: USED "stuff." So, we already have located a refrigerator for a low low price on Craigslist. difficult child is balking....too bad, so sad. It is sickening how many of these types of things we have already purchased for her and I'm not happy about doing it again. We told her if we can't find a used microwave soon, we will buy her an inexpensive new one. WE will also tell her these two items belong to us and if she moves prior to Sept., they go back to us. NOT a great situation....but.... YEP, the situation with- these folks in the expensive house is WEIRD. They have a business. They are from another state. The business has NOT been doing well for 2-3 years. I certainly don't think they are in a desperate situation financially, but there are strong indications of concerns. They have said that if difficult child doesn't stay, they will probably rent the former maid's quarters to someone else. They don't mind her setting up a microwave and frig. My guess is they do benefit slightly from her check...they are taking about 95% of it for rent. They DO like difficult child. They have a history...difficult child has helped THEM over the last year or two (long story). They are well aware of her idiocyncracies (sp?) and this is why they have set up rules. The entire thing is a long/weird story. As usual, I'm just hoping for the best....UGH! :raspberry-tounge: Many thanks....and by the way..... What is freecycle?????? [/QUOTE]
