My sister, Tess (Tonya) does a great deal of cooking. I in turn have been paying for meats. This last time I let her have the money & she went on base with Bill to pick out the meats she will use.
So, usually I text to ask if she will be fixing dinner. She didn't for the last two nights. So, instead of texting & asking every night to see what I need to do for Faith & I, I text her this:
Perhaps when you don't know @ dinner you can let me know a bit early? Thanks.
Well, apparently that was not only a mistake, but my phone was sarcastic when it sent the message. Her replies:
I'm sorry. Didn't realize truck wasn't goinna run earlier. Didn't know I was on a set schedule or that I was the only one who could cook, do dishes, remember to take the trash out, etc. Especially doing it all for free.
And now I have to get the truck fixed. Can't wait any longer...so screw my bills I'm already behind on....and screw a wedding supposed to be getting ready 4...because we need the 2nd car...but instead of asking all I get is sarcasm....
Well, I just asked to know so I can feed Faith, but I won't ask any more & fix our own. I pay for the food so you do cook. I am not dealing with the trash when I haven't been able to use it for several weeks & take mine to town. I pay for the dryer so figured that was even. I thought you letting me know on days you had plans was easier than me texting @ it every day & I pay for elec too.
You pay for half electric & half trash because you use it...a little help would have been nice is all - if nothing else to help me remember. But u always have to b sarcastic. U never ask how I'm doing. U never ask if I need anything. Yes u pay for part of the groceries & I don't mind cooking most of the time, but I still get stuck with the dishes & the trash & apparently the grocery shopping now too.
After some time she text:
Just to let you know. Monday is my surgery - won't be cooking dinner for couple days.
Here is what I think of this mess.
Truck - she has had problems with it since Oct. She knew this. She spent tons of money at Christmas & took a "payday" loan in December to go with Bill to Texas. She hasn't been making her minimum bills payments & I have even made one for her - in full. He has a vehicle & so their "need" for two vehicles is beyond me & I have always told her she can borrow the car.
But they can afford to go out & drink.
Trash - I haven't been able to put in my trash. They had so much & then forgot to put out the trash. When I have asked about putting it out Thurs eve she has said, I will take it in the morning. So there is that. But she is mad at me for not reminding her? Really? Grow up.
Bills - I have been paying 1/2 trash, 1/2 Elec since I have been there. I never asked for her to pay anything on the dryer rental I pay.
Wedding - I have paid for the blank invitations. I have designed the invites. I have put my time into looking for items for the wedding. I also paid for both bridesmaide's dresses. I offered at the beginning of this month to buy her wedding dress as well. She said instead, they needed to borrow $170 to pay their cell phone bill. I have also lent my car & given other cash to her as well.
Faith & I look after the dogs. Faith fed them just last night. They had no food out. But they are chewing up the carpet pretty good for being left alone.
My leather chair & couch which are in her front room, I don't have room in my side, have been ruined by her cats peeing on it repeatedly. I just this last week finished paying them off. $130 was this last payment. Wonder who will replace that.
So, besides this, betraying my confidence (other blog post) & how she acted in Dec. I am done. She can find another Maid of Honor, as I no longer feel it is an honor.
