Dear Zane, I have a family member who called and asked if she could live with me because she didnt have any place to go and although she is grown I allowed her into my home. I told her she could come if she agreed to watch my son, who does have some behavior issues, while I worked and I wouldnt worry about her paying rent or anything. Well she comes to town and only watched my daughter for about a week and decides she no longer wants to be bothered resulting in me missing about 2 wks of work. She has since went to live wit my cousin because in a moment of rage at having to miss work I told her to leave. Since then I have still done whatever I could for her. Buying her food, giving her rides, washing her clothes and giving her money if I had it. She was very rude to my son, disrespectful to me and a huge mess starter. She keeps up so much drama. I am at the point where im sick of her and her drama and ready to wash my hands of her. Afterall Im struggling and dealing with things myself. Am I wrong for wanting to cut her completely off even though initially she came here with me? MY RESPONSE: You are being way too kind and you have a good spirit. However, you need to cut her completely off. There is a reason why she is grown and hopping from one relatives house to another. It does not sound like she has any kids of her own, unlike you and you should not take resources from your kids to give to her. If she has to work three jobs to make ends meet, then that is what she needs to do. You were allowing her to live there rent-free in exchange for watching your kids and she had the audacity to tell you no. You need to tell her, flat-out, that she cannot ask you for another thing. Good luck.
