take her in...decide that you will give 65 percent of what you thought
might be a 50-50 deal...you will find out perhaps that by helping someone else you have a better life....accept that they have a disassembling world...as long as they aren't a drinker or a herion shooter that you can be someone's helper for a period in their lives...but you must remember..it will be 65-35 or something like that...if you are not prepared for that then don't have a roommate with
kids.

OK, so there's an issue.

I'm supposed to have a roommate move in today. With her two school-age (nine and twelve years old) daughters. Bad enough that I reluctantly agreed to that.

I told her I would be off of e-mail for New Year's weekend and to call me over the weekend. She did not. I thought she wasn't coming and solicited other people ...[text shortened]... coming, you don't show. And if them getting here was this rough, well...
You haven't told us the basis of this arrangement. Did you advertise for a roommate and she answered the ad? Are you helping out a friend of a friend? Is there rent involved?

Yes, I advertised, no, there's no friendship involved, and yes, there's rent - not bad on my end, but a far better deal than she could get anywhere else.
This isn't even a choice, brah. Let her know you'll be looking elsewhere.

Is there a contract?

I can't figure how you don't see the trouble on the horizon.

No. There would have been, and if I have a drastic change of heart, there will be. But right now, no.
Sorry to say mate, if one isnt sorted she is going to put on the largest strap-on, bend you over and make you squeal like a pig.๐Ÿ˜ฒ

Believe me.. get a contract - however good natured YOU are you dont know her๐Ÿ˜•

I do. That's why I started this thread. When I saw her resume, it looked like someone who was really together. Now she's toting two young girls around the city and she's going to have to get a hotel room. Ah well. Or go back to New York. It's an hour from here.
You said she isn't a friend. A resume doesn't tell you at all what living with this person will be like.

I'm all for helping someone out, but why this woman? With three children?

Mmm...I liked the idea of the $500 a month plus half the bills. I admit it, it was frickin' greed.
Temper that greed with the reality of sharing living space with four beings driven by hormones you don't understand.
