[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 419181, member: 1233"] She had the stones to complain because her FREE apartment (I think you said rent was $40 a month which is FREE in this day and age!!!) which had 2 floors, and what sounds like a TON of storage esp with outside storage also, was too f'ing small?????? Exactly who the H does she think she is? Paris Hilton and entitled to every dang thing she wants??? I am absolutely gobsmacked by all that they have given her. Those kids must have really wormed their way into someone special's heart. Or the kids got into someone's heart and M/Katie skeeved them out so that want to set them up extremely well while giving Katie/M lots and lots of different ways to totally wreck this so the kids can finally be taken from their parents and protected from them.
