So this girl is still bugging me to move in. First she said rent would be $500 per person, now $500 for her (and 3 kids), and $500 for me. Right there why should I pay for her kids, she should pay for 3 kids, I pay for me end of story. I said for not even $700 a month I can have a mobile homes. $380 for park fees, then a mortgage. Now I am trying for fall to have at least 75% put down so it will be even less money. She then tries arguing with me saying $700 per person have a whole house, which you rent. You don't even own, and have to put money into it, and not get anything out of it. She doesn't want to leave the city she lives in, well I live here 45 minutes West. I work here, and wont be trying to find other jobs. She goes I wont find a job there, now she is 32 and has only worked at Timmies, she started working at 24 years old and work a few years, then started havings kids and depending on a man. Now this isnt my fault, I can find another job because I have work experience, and widen my education and worked in these low end jobsfor years.

No way should you pay half the rent when you are one person and they are 4. You would not be getting half the house and you would not be using half the utilities. I think you are wise to choose not to move in with her.

That's what I tried explaining and she couldn't understand it.

it's like i said before. this girl sounds like she just needs someone to take care of her responsibilities in life. if you have to find a roommate, pic one that you know can carry their own weight and they are even matched to you financially. that way, it will be fair.

I told her if she keeps it up I will be calling my phone company and block her. She even showed up at my door while I was at work looking for me. She supposeable that unhappy wiht her man, and wants out, but expects the same thing.

She just seems to me as if she's desperate for someone to move in with her, and honestly I am not sure I'd even trust doing it. She could very well start lapsing on her share, etc.

When I texted her and explained how in a few months I could be paying $380 instead of about $800. She goes I was looking at rent to own, so she wanted me to rent from her, and pay it off basicaally. I told her no, I wont be doing that either. I can put my money into a mobile home, and have it paid off and own it.

You know, I don't think that she is really being wrong and I don't think that she is really expecting you to support her children. I mean when I have had roommates we've always taken the bills and divided them by the number of families that were living in the house. So if there were two families, the bills were split in half. However, when her boyfriend moved in as well, we split everything by three because with her boyfriend came his two children as well. That said, I do think that $500 each for a split rent is something that is a bit much. We pay less than that every month for our mortgage on our home.
