Andy's oldest daughter was working at an amusement park over the summer. he mother lives 45 minutes north of the city and she really wanted to get an apartment in the city, near us.
a couple weeks before the amusement park job ended, she asked if she could stay with us while she found another job and looked for an apartment.
i admit, i was really not happy about the idea. we were getting married very soon, and i had just gotten to a point in my mental health where i could work and go back to school. i was enjoying our routine.
well, we talked about it and we let her move in. we gave her a few rules, like number 1... no one is allowed in the house if Andy or I are not there. rule number 2..... do not have sex in our house. rules three and four and five..... clean up after yourself, do your own laundry, pay 25 dollars a week for groceries, etc.
well... yeah. so, i had to remind her a lot to clean up her messes, and her pile of laundry wouldn't get washed unless we said something about it...
when the amusement park job ended, the first weekend of november, we gave her 3 weeks to find a job. it took her 6 weeks to look for and find a job. that was frustrating... we didn't charge her rent of utilities... she thought, seemingly, that everything was free! well, she finally got a job, and then, she got a ferret!
i was totally against it, the smell of it anyway, but i said ok.
so, she lets the ferret run all over the house by itself... and that thing got lost several times, and while it was lost, it fell asleep! she thought that was cute. i was disgusted, that ferret shit in all the corners of the house, and i bet we haven't found all the shit it left behind.... i am still a little upset about that.
well, i had to tell her EVERY time she let it out of it's cage to watch it and not let it get lost. i told her several times that she either had to be holding it or it had to be in it's cage.
she never listened.
i was mad.
Andy was at a loss. i think he was torn between me being upset and his daughter being happy.
at the time, i said, 'whatever' a lot. i didn't know what to do.
she and her ferret had taken over our home.
well, the ferret battle went on forever, up until she got kicked out.
we were happy that she was going to work and all.
oh, and she is a gamer. the final fantasy kind.
and she had this boyfriend.
and she wanted him to come over ALL THE TIME.
if we said he couldn't come over, she would go spend the night at his friend's house, where he was staying.
oh, the boyfriend, he was working at the amusement park as well, until it closed in the beginnign of november.
then he had all these interviews each week.
he still doesn't have a job.
anywho, so, 3 weeks ago, i read my hours at work wrong, and i went in at 11am, thinking i had to be there then. turns out i didn't have to be there until 4pm.
so i go home. my neighbor asked me if i would go to the store for her, she broke her arm and can't drive. i say, 'ok.'
so before i get to my door, i go to hers and collect her money. i go pick up the things she wanted and i take them to her.
when i get home i notice the daughter's boyfriend's truck... in front of our place.
instantly i am enraged! rule number 1 !!! Goddamnit! i was pissed!
well, i get to my door and i open it as quickly as possible, preparing to yell, i figured they would be sitting there playing video games...
i was WAY wrong....
they were sitting on the living room floor in nothing but Underware.... ....just getting ready to have sex....
!!!!!!!!! God Damnit!!!
RULE NUMBER 2 !!!!!
i say to the boyfriend... "you! Get Out!"
i say to the daughter, "you! pack your shit!"
so she packed her shit and left.
she went to a friend's house and she is still there. she wrapped her dad up around her finger, she wouldn't answer when he called and she would only text him bullshit like, "i have to get as far away from you guys as possible, right? isn't that what you want?" and, "if you don't know where i am, that will make it easier for you, won't it?" i told him she was playing a game, and i think he knew that too.... finally she answered.
he just wanted to know that she was safe and would still be able to go to work. she is.
i was so frustrated while she was here.
she spent HOURS in the bathroom.
i don't understand. but i don't really have any way to compare her behavior to mine when i was a teen. i was high every day. i was gone from home for weeks and months at a time, strung out. i have no idea what a normal/average teenage girl is like.
it was Weird.... and frustrating.
well, that's that.
she is in her place, and we have our house back. yay!

well, i never wanted to keep her from having sex, she is 19 and she can make her own decisions, it was the disrespect of her breaking our rules that got me. she doesn't hate me anymore. i think she was really embarrassed that i found them naked..... and that she got caught....
