Am I a bad person?
I recently found out that my husband and I will be paying his moms bills🙃
We’re trying to buy our own house, but today I spent an hour setting up online payment accounts and paying for delinquent bills for a year ago!
My husband said that he feel bad, because his dad doesn’t pay his mom child support for the two youngest boys, and his mom is doing it all on her own.
Am I bad for not wanting to pay for her shit? I don’t mind helping. I get that people fall on hard times, but we’re legitimately paying her utilities, and internet... and her cell phone.
My husband not only hired her to work in his office, but now we’re doing this??? I just can’t. Yes, she’s working, but she is so horrible with money it terrifies me.
I got her set up for online payments because she was going in person and paying her bills. I saw 7 past due power bills all at $200-$300 a pop because she didn’t pay when she was supposed to.
She’s been in her home for 2 years now. She moved from Miami to Alabama. My husband was in her case about finding employment. She never did until 7 months ago. Then quit because she was going out of town for a month, and was going to get a different job when she came back. Of course, it never happened.
I feel like we’re just enabling her. I feel somewhat like a cold hearted person, but I don’t want this to be a forever thing. She’s more than capable to work. She just chose not to until my husband forced her basically to work with him because she wasn’t doing anything consistent.
Ugh.
