so here's an update on the situation from before... and if you really would like a story then here is one for ya'll LMAO
i havent spoken to her yet about it but i finally figured out what i'm gonna say and how i'm gonna say it... anyways... let me tell you more about this family...
mary kay and ron have been married for about 9 years now i think... i met them back in 2003 in my senior year of high school through a friend, tory (who is no longer a friend... thats another story). anyways tory use to watch gabrielle, but when tory started getting involved with the wrong people and acting stupid, i offered to watch gabrielle. then "goog" was 3 or so... and i figured her behavior was normal 3 year old behavior... it's common to pitch fits at that age... so i was picking her up 2 days out of the week and watching her til about 5 or 6... and then i would hang out with mary kay because for a 39 year old (then...) she was pretty cool. now ron, i've never had a very deep longing affection for ron... he works for the public school system in the refridgeration and whatnot, fixing equipment... and after that he does a side business for cooling and air & occassionally he does gigs as a bass player. then he come home and do nothing, NOT ONE THING! did nothing besides sit and watch TV... mary kay would have to beg him to take out the trash or help with something minor. mary kay at the time (and still is) working for a doctors office. at that time she had 2 other nurses working with her. occassionally i'd pick up goog maybe 3 days... but never more than that and never for long periods of time... except for summer which i was fine with.
now the situation is quite different... ron still works and does his side business and gigs. he still comes home and does nothing... now he's tried to get me to do his "chores"... for example when mary kay says "ron please take out the trash." he looks over at me and says this "jenn, i'm too tired, could you?" or "jenn, you have your shoes on... could you?" or just plain out "jenn can you do it?" or if mary kay asks him to pick up dinner he goes "jenn have you ate? could you go and get us dinner?" and i use to but the past year i've refused. he has NEVER cooked but maybe 4 times the whole 3 years i've known them. he gripes and complains when you ask him to do anything... and i dont mean big deal things... really small tasks that... a 5 year old could do. you'd think this is worst enough but i havent gotten to the other two yet. mary kay still works at the same doctors office except now, she is the ONLY nurse and works until 6 or 8 every night. because she lacks hardcore organization skills she is constantly having to do something when she gets off work and therefore it's sometimes 8,9, 10 oclock before she comes home... and if ron hasnt come home yet... i'm still with gabrielle. she is late to everything and really disregards other peoples feelings at times... and she is very stuck in her ways... if you even offer a simpler solution to something she'll turn it down because it isnt how she does it. now gabrielle... as goog got older i noticed... she wasnt growing out of her baby stage and to this day (going on 7 years old) she talks like a baby when she speaks to her mother. mary kay lets her do whatever she wants whenever she wants however she wants... so therefore gabrielle has this attitude that is kinda like "i dont need to listen to your authority because my mom doesnt do that." i understand she's 7 years old but she is probably the rudest child i've ever met and i kid you not when i say that EVERY night there is an episode of screaming, stomping, and crying with this child. she demands things from her parents and they appease her with something... she talks SO rudely to her mother that i nearly have whooped he ass a few times... mary kay refuses to punish her because she is stuck on trying to be her best friend. instead she just lets her do her thang. mary kay and ron let her eat junk all day... tons of popsicles... etc. and then feed her fast food at 10 at night... NOT RIGHT... i've tried to rectify the situation by feeding her around 6 or 7... but even after that... this child eats and eats and eats. she ends up going to bed around 10 or 11 at night because mary kay and ron have yet to learn that they needed to change their life for her, not her for them. and whenever mary kay goes anywhere... that child has to come. to adult parties, to baby showers, to the grocery store, to the gas station, etc... and not really because gabrielle has to be with her (even tho sometimes she does want to), but because mary kay has to be with her. mary kay suffers from some very serious separation anxiety. she cries when she drops her off to school, and wherever else... it's very odd. and if you ever try to remove goog from mary kay, mary kay insists that gabrielle be with her... as if it's gabrielle with the problem... not her.
and the lists go on and on and on...
they are the WORST housekeepers everywhere... so bad that they acquired 10 mice last summer... and didnt even try to clean up where they peed and lived... I DID. when the house is cleaned... I DO IT. of course they pay me for it but still... whenever they are done with something, there it stays... exactly why you will find toys in the kitchen, mail in the bathroom, food in the living room, etc. and i clean it up because i cannot deal with it... it's gross to me... and because of my OCD... it really suffer from panic attacks if things arent orderly and clean. just the other week ron's mother in law did 6 loads of laundry in one day and i followed up by dong 6 more the following day. they live in clutter and flith and it's gross. peanut butter on the counter, sticky tea residue EVERYWHERE... and it keeps on going... it's annoying...
and the payment situation... literally i am suppose to get $100 a week for watching her, plus if i have to run errands they slip me money... and when i clean the house it ranges from $50-100 each time... they do pay me... but never on time and they are never caught up... i'm sure they owe me a good $500-600 by now but i try not to say anything just because they are struggling.
but as you can see i'm overwhelmed... i use to only be there for a few hours for a few days a week... now i spend more time at their house than i do my own and i'm sick of it.... it's gotten to be really retarded... i just feel like they take advantage of my kindess, and abuse my friendship. i love them all dearly but they have these outrageous flaws and irritate the SHIT outta me... and it's gotten to the point where i resent them and i never want to have bad feelings towards them because i love them and they HAVE done a lot for me in the past 3 years... they are good people they just need help... serious help.
