I have a HUGE rant! Stick a Fork in Me

Ok, so it is the 10th of February and I have not written since January 2. I guess I really was uninspired.

Now I have a HUGE rant! Get ready, or not!

In July my cousin’s son moved in with us. Pretty much since then I have been pissed off. I allowed him to move in because he could not find a job in MN. My cousin, his aunt, told me that he is a good worker, yadda yadda…blah blah blah. Talked him up so I agreed. Well, he really did not look for a job so Dick decided to give him a try. He has been working for the most part. Right away he was calling in sick every other Thursday. Missed three days of work within the first two months. The 4th time that he though that he was going to call in sick I told him to suck it up and get his ass to work. We don’t call in sick around here unless you are puking your guts out, (which he wasn’t) or you’re dead…which he also wasn’t. Get the eff to work.

We did not charge him any rent. I wanted him to save his money and buy a car so he would have transportation. With transportation you can move out and still get to work. Well, first came an Ipod touch. I don’t have an Ipod touch because I can’t afford one. No car yet!

He finally bought a car at the end of October. It took a while to get the title and even longer to get it insured. Then he had to buy fancy rims for it.

At the end of November I told him that he had to start paying some rent, $125 out of each paycheck. I thought that was more than fair since that covers almost EVERYTHING!! On 11-22-10 he gave me $150. If he wants to pay me $150, that is okay too. Same thing for 12-6-10.

Then right before Christmas he buys a PS3, (another $300 toy) but pays NO RENT!! Next paycheck…pays no rent but comes home with a new tattoo. Next paycheck…pays no rent but comes home with more added to the tattoo. He claims he is not paying for the tattoos because is it Dick’s cousin’s son that is doing them for him…to get his name out there. Ah, BS! I am sure that Chris is charging him something for them! He charged my girls for their tattoos & they are related by blood.

Three paychecks & pays no rent! He finally paid rent…he had $200 and wanted me to give him change. I told him I don’t have change and that he owes $600 in rent. He kept his $200 until the next day then dropped by my office and gave me $150.

I will get what he owes! He filed his federal tax return and had it direct deposited into our checking account!! Ha! I will tell him that I am keeping what he owes us before I just not give him all of his money.

He eats a lot!!! I cook double to feed him. I am not kidding or being dramatic, that is the truth. He can eat more than Tyler, Dick and I put together. My grocery bill is normally sky high now add feeding him to it. Holy man!! He does not pay for laundry soap, bath soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, none of the stuff a normal person has to pay for, for hygiene.

I was paying for all of the soda! I put a 6-pack in the fridge and he drank 3 of them within hours. Eff that! Buy your own! I would never allow Tyler to drink that much soda but I know it wasn’t him because I put it in the fridge after Tyler went to work and it was gone before he got home from work.

Come Spring, Mike will be looking for a place to live! I am done! There is more to it than what I have written. If my girls can make it on their own, so can he. I am not obligated and if anyone wants to be pissed off at me for making him move out…so be it!!

Stick a fork in me!!
