Hi I'm a friendly poet who moved in with a 70 year old man right across the street from my grandparents house where I was also living for over 5 years. I asked the older man if I could be his live-in maid and cook because a relative I was living with was driving me crazy. Well I've lived here for about 8 months now and I don't get paid any money from him and I don't have any job outside the home. He says my free room and bored is all I get and he should charge me for using the washing machine. He was buying groceries the first 4 or 5 months. Oh also my boyfriend is living here too and he helps with chores and errands. He was actually homeless, so he never asks for anything and is very kind and appreciative. Ok I had to get on food stamps a couple months ago cause the old man my landlord stopped buying food and drinks for the house. And he's being scammed by women online and he's always broke. Help!!!
You've been taking advantage of an old man who took advantage of you more. Score: Old Guy - 1 You - 0
IF this is a real question, then I'd advise you to grow up, go to a shelter, and get your act together. You aren't special, and you need to make a living like anyone else. If your BF isn't on board, ditch him.
What should you do?
Go get a job, both you and the kind appreciative boyfriend, and quit mooching off of others.
Neither of you are entitled to anything free in life, not even food stamps which I'M PAYING FOR btw and which you did not "have to get on" had you gotten a JOB like a useful member of society.
Hello?
Go peddle this nonsense elsewhere. This is a forum for caregivers to elderly loved ones who are tired and worn out, and in no mood for B.S.
Again, it's just a matter of growing up and deciding once and for all that you want better for your life and want to be in charge of your own destiny. You can do whatever you set your mind to.
And since you mentioned the name of Jesus, the Bible teaches us in Philippians 4:13, that we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength. So you may want to start leaning on His strength to get you on the right path of life. I can't think of a better Person than Jesus, to help you now. He's better than any government handout, that's for sure.
God bless you.
You asked this man to be a live-in why should he pay you. You really are renting a room and doing around the house is payment. Then u have the nerve to move a boyfriend in who has no job. I bet your grands were driving you crazy because they were telling u to get a job. No child of mine out of high school lives in my house without having a job or they are in college. Once 18, they are responsible for themselves. Helping hand yes, supporting them completely no.
This man owes you nothing.
my boyfriend is disabled and can't work he has a Appointment in may for social security my landlord is dependent on my food stamps he won't buy himself food and there is a law that a live in maid should be paid I'm serious google it I'm also a chef here. I have not asked the man for any money I have even bought him medicine and saved his life three times when he had strokes. I have a mental illness I'm getting on social security this month. You hurt my feelings! Bye
