I didn't know it till my daughter got woken up from her nap today by my husband cousin packing her things up to move out. She officially moved out today. There is still a few things of her's here. A bit not happy because she didn't tell either me or my husband that she comes to pick up her things today. Because there was some things that we where sharing that we need here which I don't mind her taking back since it belongs to her but I would have like to know she was taking them now so I could have them, cleaned, put where she could get to them, and also in case we need to get another one. Which she took the Microwave with her. So now we have no microwave not even a back up one so we have to go and get new one tomorrow. I have to wait to get more money to pick one up we went and priced show and the cheapest one is $50.
The good thing is which I'm glad and proud that she and her mom did. They went to the office before they lived was they went to the office and paid her half of the rent from now till our lease us up. So all me and my husband have to do is pay for our half of the rent and trash and water which is okay we can afford all of that. All she has left to get is her bed, two dresses and a big lamp that is when she'll turn her key so she if we are not her when she comes to pick them up she can get and lock up when she is done. She still owes us for the utilities and says she will pay it as soon as she gets paid which is still hard to believe till I see some money coming in for her half but I had stopped tracking as of today her half of the stuff since she isn't here any more.
I'm glad she is no longer here less stress on me and hubby. We are going to turn her room into a guess room till our lease is up where we can move to a new apartment that is a bit smaller and more affordable for this year coming.

So, you were having problem with your cousin, that is why she has to move out? That is shame, and it is bad. I hope that you guys can work something up and don't need to gone into situation like that. Nonetheless, you guys are family, and should help each other. I hope things will work out with your guys, so you don't need to gone into next level.

We where having problems with her but she moved out over a month ago. That was her choice. We never made her we where going to ask her, but she came home after being gone for a week paying her half of rent late and almost getting us kicked out of our apartment because her half wasn't in on time. Yes we had enough with her sharing the same place as us and coming and going as she felt like at all hours of the night and day. She came home said she had a better job and was going to move out the fallowing week after being gone for a few days she came picked up almost all of her stuff. She still has some things her but not all.
Her mom paid her half of the rent till the lease is up by law she has to pay her half weather she lives her or not. Right now it's just me, my husband, my daughter and soon we will have our son.

I know some of the stress that she has been putting your through and the fact that she has moved out is something that is going to be really good for you, your husband and your daughter. In fact, her not being there at all is going to help the bond between the three of you to grow from now until the time that the baby is born.
I might suggest that instead of using the extra room as a guest room until you move that you instead make it a playroom for your daughter. That way she will have a space that is hers that she will not have to share with her baby brother once he is born.

It's been much better since she isn't here. She doesn't have all of her things but she isn't staying here and not coming and going as she wants since she has to drive 3 to get back here. I'm sure it'll help us bound better now that she is gone. It was never a problem even when she was her.
Were not going to be in this place too long after our son is born we will be moving to a smaller apartment which we are okay with because it means we can afford it much better on own unlike right now. The good thing is she did pay up front before she left the rest of her rent for the next few months so all we have to do is pay our half.
The extra room is down stairs where all of the bedrooms are so I wouldn't make it play room since I can leave her down there own her own and there is a bathroom in there as well. So that is why I wanted to make it in to a guess room for the next few rooms. The living and dinning room is pretty much her play room right now because with her only being 17 months old I she won't let me out of her side and many of the things that need to be done during the week is upstairs. She won't have a shared room with him till he is at least 4 months old which is after we moved out of this place and into another one. He has the bassinet which will be in our room and not our daughters room that as we don't have another crib yet to put him in which we won't have till we move and know which apartment complex we are going to be at.

hi shyBear, even tho she just left without warning..you knew
she was out and thats exactly what you and your hubby wanted.
So take your time to replace what she leaves you without and
don't fuss...you guys will be happier even without your microwave,
Don't let small things overcome your happiness...she's gone, bottom
line....Yeah!!!!!!!!
Don't give her the benefit of thinking you need her or her belongings
you was sharing.....
Good luck!!!!!

She didn't leave without warning she told us 2 weeks ago she was moving out she didn't tell us when she was moving out not a date at all so I was unwear that she coming by today and picking up most all of her stuff. Now we do know she is gone and that she has taken care of at least her half of rent with out trash and water bill which is fine we will take care of that since that will cover our use only.
It is a big deal not having a microwave but tomorrow we will go get one but right now the prices for one is high. Other wise then that all the rest of the stuff is ours we brought it all here or it was given to me and my husband over a year ago when we got our first apartment. When you got a little on and things that can only go in the microwave to be eaten it is kind of a big deal. Not everything is meant to be cooked on the stove and then I would stuck doing dish all day long just cook lunch and dinner.
I never said we need her for any of here things. She knows we don't need anything for her. It would have been nice to get a warning about what she was taking so that way he had it covered. She really didn't think about her second cousin needing anything that we where sharing. Although she has lost most everything or took some of our stuff that she had in our room we aren't going to fight for it. That would be stupid.
My mom is giving me $50 to get a new microwave and a new lamp. We are still covering from the dishes and plants and so on stuff that her and her friends took and broke or throw away because there where so dirty that she never brought up to get cleaned. I think a few of her cook wear that her mom made her bring when we moved in is missing but that was her and if her or her mom tries to blame us for it I will give them both a piece of mind from one mom to another one.
But she still owes us for all of the utilities that she hasn't paid for since the day we all moved in to his apartment.

Sound slike things went a little sour, but are in the healing process.
I have alot of my kids stuff in the buildings here on the property. It is amazing what they want for storage.
I can not imagine paying todays rents. My landlord is my mom and all our rent amounts to is expenses, bank payments and repairs,insurance etc. In 6 years the place is paid off, and mom will probably find a way to let me buy it. My credit needs work, I am deep in debt to collection and the world keeps dragging me down. We are in the smallest place though on an acre and rent is $250 a month (which incidently pays insurance and taxes). We have been here 17 years.

I would say more the sour on her part. There is no healing need. We don't keep much of anything in our apartment we have pretty much zero storage of things. Just what we need to live. And we can't pay for what we have and still have money left over it's just that ever nor and then we get a bill that we just can't afford. Our rent is a $1,030 for a 3 bed room what we are in. So she paid for her half and we paid for our half making it about $520 amonth which isn't that pad because my husband makes about $800 every 2 weeks, but yes most all of it does go to our daughter but we do have government assistance which saves us some money. We got a lot back on taxes this year and where going to use it to pay off a big chuck of our car loan but since she hadn't been really paying her half after losing the same job my husband has she wasn't making much and took 3 months to find a job.
My husbands credit needs work mine is fine my is so good I could get us a house if I was working but since I'm a stay at home mom and we can't afford child care they can not look at me for a house loan. My husband is still building up his and his cousin she has zero credit because she just gradated last year and got a free ride though school.
Next year in 2013 we will be buying a house of some sort what ever we could afford and leaving us with enough for like food. My kids get free clothes since there is a lot of kids we do hand me downs a lot and used clothes and stuff.
We are looking at place already for when our lease is up in October and the rent I know we will be able to afford is less then $600 a month which there are place around here that get as low as $450 a month for a 2 bedroom. the time of the year when our leases are up is normally the cheapest time of the year. The only bad thing is it's right after I have a baby.
