You said it perfect TWB...
When I had roommates long ago.. Some of them would have their significant other staying at the house every weekend. It DOES add up bill-wise, more than one would think.
The comfort factor is pretty big as well...
& EVERY weekend is no longer "company".. That's called weekend boarding, & yeah, people should have to pay for that.
Shit, I wish I would have thought of charging them people to stay over.. & Hell..I would have spent it on anything I damn well pleased.
I know you came here maybe hoping to get support and have people tell you that your Mom is being unfair.. But the fact is, you really have to be able to put yourself in her shoes for a moment.. Which I understand is hard to do if you have never been in a similar situation as the 'head of a household'.
Please don't take Me wrong, and think I'm being mean.. I have no reason to be mean to you :0
Just stating the facts, Miss
