The Nutty Renters Are Finally Gone!

It is a huge relief to have these idiots gone! What a mess they left behind! GROSS!! But by the end of the day, we'll have it all back to looking and smelling good again, God willing!!
I do understand what you mean about my mom and yeah, that's part of it and the other part is we have done A LOT but at the same time, we want to do it to help. Not to make her feel guilty or worse. Sometimes I feel as if I can't win either way I go BUT, at least she'll feel better knowing the job is done so I guess that counts for something!

Get this, the husband said he's tried 20 + places in mental health to put her in and none will take her!! This woman is a danger to herself and anyone around her. They supposedly live in a trailer park now. She won't last long there because people like that don't take crap off of people like her. She'll be lucky to get out of there alive.
You're so lucky to be so close to a police station! And one that works as it should! Dumpy or not, at least you're safe!

We had the same thing when we lived in Killeen. This guy was a cabinet maker and decided to be a drunk instead. He'd get so drunk that he'd pass out while playing extremely loud music. To explain how loud, I could hear it from across his yard and mine and still could tell what the song was and I'm legally deaf! It wasn't the landlord who got him to straighten up, but his wife! She gave him the ultimatum to quit drinking and go to work or she was leaving. That did it, he quit and soon was back to working again.

those people were a real problem, I was never so glad to see anyone's back

I'm sure she will but let me give you a piece of advice, don't shut her out when she's trying to help. It's always good to be cautious but not unbending like my parents are. I love my parents but wish they'd stop being so block headed.

We lived above this nut woman one time in an apartment and she complained about every little noise we made! She was such a pain in the a$$ that our landlord let us out of our lease so we could get away from her. She ended up doing us a favor because we found a small house which the rent was $50. cheaper!! lol

For the life of me Jo, I can't understand how anybody can live under those types of conditions! UGH!! I'm a clean and organized freak because I can't stand it any other way! Even when company comes over, I still change the bed linens to be sure they're fresh and clean for them to sleep on. I'd hope it would be done for me as well if I were to ever visit with others, you know?
I think my parents are appreciating me more now after finally realizing all we've done and continue to do. It seems that way anyway and I hope so. Time will tell.

i HAVE NEVER UNDERSTOOD HOW PEOPLE COULD LIVE IN FILTH. i KNOW THERE ARE ALOT THAT SO BUT UNDERSTAND IT I DON'T. I do hope ur parents have had a change of heart where u are concerned but don't get your hopes up & let them hurt u again. U are too vunerable where they are concerned. U are a good daughter, too good & i hate to see u keep getting hurt by them.

BTW, you never said how you got them to leave. Did the police kick them out? Can they come back and claim unlawful eviction?

This area that my parents live in, although it's beautiful and peaceful, it's considered a low income area which has it's ups and it's downs. The upside is, they don't have to pay for their medicare premiums anymore, the downside is, low income usually means, unclean people. NOT always but majority of the time so there is a chance that they could get that again but they're going to ask for previous renters that they've rented from before deciding on anyone. None of us want to go through what we've had to this time around.
Mom and dad told them that they had to go. They were given one eviction notice a month or so back but they begged to stay and apologized for her running off with her mouth so mom and dad gave them a second chance. I let my parents know exactly how I felt about that too! Oh I was so hot!! I was some kind of pissed off!! So this time my parents told them they had to be out by the first and that was that. They left on their own although the woman kept running off with her mouth. My parents finally called the police to get them out and her to shut up or the cops to arrest her but they left before the cops got there.

Good grief gal!! This capital B!tch was on the war path with you! WOW!! I'm just sitting here shaking my head in disbelief!! As the saying goes, it takes all kinds to make our world but this one really takes the cake!! I think I'd have a block party in celebration that she's gone!! LMBO!! Oh my gosh, this is really something.

Trust me on this one caroll, we WILL check out past renters before deciding on any one person or couple this time around! You see, when these low life's moved in, mom and dad didn't have time to check for references because mom had a stroke a day or two after talking to them. These people moved in the next day after mom had a stroke. Everything happened so fast that it was a total blur but this time, I WILL be sure that references will be checked!

No there isn't a dull moment in my life. At least not when I live near family. When hubby and I were in a different state, things were much calmer which we so loved! But now that we're close to "home" things have gone haywire which is normal. Hubby and I had most of 15 years of peace. I guess it has to end some time. While away, I did come home to help when my granddad was dying and then again when my grandmother was dying and both times, it was hell but I had no home of my own to go to to get away. Even at my parents house, I had no bedroom to get away either, I slept on the couch or the floor! Now I DO!! But the down side is, I'm more or less stuck here and there's no going home in a different state.

hi Cats I know and thats the reason why I would not recommend you to build another house on your own property for your parents. When you feel overwhelmed now as you still do have half an hour "driving space" between you and them what will happen when they would practically be next door. You would be sucked in even more into their bickering and argueing.
I so feel with you. Living a 15 minutes bus drive from my mother when I still was in my hometown was great, it gave me the much needed breather from all her perfectionist and sometimes silly rules around the house I still had to follow as a grown up person who earned her own money.
But since I live here in Lippstadt things are even better for me and I dont regret that I did that and got married and moved here even though some very "well meaning" (reads: Condemning) people will judge me for having deserted family.

Hi cher, I don't mind you're asking! Not at all but I wish I could tell you but I can't because it varies so much. I've made up to a dollar and some pennies before but that's working on the lot all day long. But I do make a bit more with making discussions and responding to them too as well as responding to other discussions too. Mylot has changed is paying system so I haven't been able to make a dollar a day for a long time besides, I've been quite busy too to even think about spending a day on here, as you well know.
BTW, I didn't mean to ignore you when you were so kind to give me your email address!! I really do appreciate that and would email you if I had the chance but instead, I put it up on here instead. I can give you my email address in a pm if you'd like? I'll email you back, I promise!
