My sister is worse than ever
4 months ago
My eldest nephew thought he'd give his mother another chance to come around, and he just went to talk to her. She apparently still doesn't have a job at the moment, and is living in a house with a bunch of dogs that stinks something fierce. My sister has apparently just been passing the blame on everything, and denied a whole bunch of things she did. My nephew called her out on her drug abuse, and they fought. Then he had to leave, and he was unfamiliar with the area, so I had to go out and get him at like 10 pm. I bought him dinner, and he's spending the night in my camper. Poor kid has only just gotten his first job. He can't stay with us full time, because we don't live in a place near bus stops, my parents and I are all on fixed incomes, and I can't afford to spend money on gas driving him back and forth so much. I'm gonna have to get him to work early in the morning tomorrow, and we need to figure out where he's staying from there. He's gonna have to save for the rest of summer to be able to afford his first apartment. He'll probably have to have a roommate too. He can't go back to his dad, because he doesn't live near bus routs either. So right now he's couch surfing. If he had a job much closer, it'd be easier for him to stay with us. But he doesn't have a driver's license, and he's broke till payday. He's only working part time, so he's not making a lot till he can get a full time job. I'm gonna try and convince him to apply to a local small store a couple miles from us. His mother used to work there, but the place is under new ownership now. So it's a clean slate. Either way, that's the current situation.

Yep, that sounds like your sister alright. Also, best of luck to your nephew. I'm currently job hunting, and it sucks.

I made sure he was fed and got to work on time. And he's going to a friend's house when he gets off work

That's good

Ah another chapter in the tales of an insane renamon series. How damage can one fluff do? Let's find out! But yeah the far away jobs not gonna happen. Especially not worth it for a part time job unless it's plus 25 an hour. Wonderful if his work would let him move your camper into the lot and stay there? I would get familiar with your states food stamp and medi care systems really fast and start seeing if he applies for SSI housing fast under threat of becoming homeless.

We are already fairly familiar with those systems. But my nephew needs to keep his current job for at least a few months before applying for another one. Otherwise it'd look bad on his resume. But if he does eventually move out here, we'll teach him to drive and help him get a license. We also have an old car sitting around he can pay to have fixed.

Which reminds me I have half a boxcar meant for an image of toki to be put on the side but I never actually built the other half.

Indeed. But it gives my nephew more reason not to associate with his mother.

Is there any way you could buy him a bag of walnut half's and dip them in some come kind of Caramel then when they are dry wrap them in paper towels?

I have no idea what that's supposed to mean.

Well that way he can defend himself and also have something to snack on. Haven't you ever seen that Russian treasure Island cartoon?

No. I haven't seen much animation from Russia
