So his mom got a speeding ticket on they way there (totally avoidable), I go to take care of the cats while she is gone and one ends up being really sick which I find out from the vet is due to her being diabetic for a long time (I have been telling her for years I thought the cat should be seen by a vet) and now she left her purse at a restaurant and someone took all her cash and wallet and EVERYTHING.
Now I have an upset husband who didn’t want to go on this trip anyways and not only does he have to spend all day for the next week cleaning up after his hoarding family members to get the house anywhere near decent to sell but he has to now deal with his mom who is all kinds of upset and down.
I mean, don’t get me wrong, these things can happen but if she would just exercise a freaking ounce of prevention some of these things wouldn’t happen to her. She already has a shit storm of financial issues because she JUST CAN’T KEEP HER CREDIT CARDS IN HER WALLET and stop shopping. Most of the time she just buys crap she sees on tv. She can’t afford it but she keeps doing it. She tells my husband that she is getting better and starting to pay down her credit cards and saving money but I know she is lying. I estimate her debt to be 20k plus…
This is stressing me out to receive calls from my upset husband about the situation. I just know she is going to end up having to move in with us in a few years because there is no way she can keep up this lifestyle. She is so freaking old school and thinks one has to spend money to have a good time or eat out all the time for a good meal. I JUST DON’T GET IT!!!!!!!!! I want to cry 🙁
