WTF family strikes again
I am having a WTF week.
Background: Mom got tired of younger sis cursing, refusing to go to church, casual drug use and having random men over at all hours, so Mom moved out of her own home. This was 6 years ago.
Mom is still paying the mortgage and all bills for sis and the current boyfriend who lives with her. Neither sis or BF work, they just loaf around on the internet, smoke weed and drink. Mom goes over there a few times a year to pick up the mail.
So Wednesday morning I get a phone call from Mom at 9am. This is odd because she's not normally awake until noon-1pm. Figuring something is wrong or someone's in the hospital, I answer. The first words out of her mouth are: "Can I borrow your weed eater?" I say sure and ask what's going on. She informs me that she went over to "Sis' house" (At this point I am thinking if she's calling it that, then sis needs to be paying all the bills) and there was a notice from the city because the lawn hasn't been mowed all year and if it wasn't mowed by Tuesday, they were going to come mow it and charge her - as the homeowner - $500. So she had spent her morning over there mowing.
She comes over and I hand over the weed eater - it's a cheapie one I bought years ago and it doesn't work well. She asks where our extension cord is. "Ummm...I think you borrowed it last year for something Mom." She curses and complains. I ask what's wrong. She tells me when she came over to mow she woke up sis and boyfriend and they were angry and yelled at her. The boyfriend was telling her to "hurry up and finish it all today."
Which sounds very much like the sis and BF that I know. Looks like they're turning into younger copies of Moocher Uncle and family. I'm just glad there's no kids involved.
