Me and luis live with my mom kinda...Well we live in the "guest house"
she said that since im not working, she wasnt gunna make luis pay rent untill after the baby is born. But what I found out she ment is shes gunna start making him pay more after the baby is born.
She accidently seen some speakers and the amp he bought for the truck, and got all pissed cause he hasnt paid rent yet. So she was health forum to me that if he hasnt paid by the 1st, shes making him leave. I dont know what shes thinking (like im gunna be like, ok bye luis) if he leaves...Im going with him.
I wanted us to get our own place...Not around her. Cause shes just gunna hold that over our heads, but luis thought it would be to hard expecting a baby. So we stayed. And im frusterated.
Should I tell her...If he goes, I go too? Or should I insist on getting our own place? Ive lived off by myself, but ive always had 2 roomates...Im scared.

Well how old are you first of all? Are you old enough to be on your own? If you are then I definitley think you should try and find your own place. If you're not old enough to be on your own, and your only option is to live with your mom then i'd tell your boyfriend that paying rent so that he can stay and be with his girlfriend and child is a lot more important then some subwoofers. He needs to realize hes gonna have a baby soon and pretty much every penny you have needs to go to that child.

Ya, im old enough to be on my own. Ive been living on my own...Well with people since I was 15. We already have everything we need for the baby, like more than everything, its kinda ridiculous. She just piissed me off cause our rent is not even due till the 1st. Then said she would "evict" him, like I would stay...But I wouldent be paying rent anyways...It just doesnt make sence.

Well if you guys have everything you need, then you should definitley look for your own place. You have a baby on the way, and your of age so its the best thing for you and your family. Also though your boyfriend needs to be buying things you guys need, not want. Thats a big thing. I had to talk to my boyfriend about that because we were so broke when kylie was born, and now we're doing fine because I explained to him that our daughter is more important then video games and such. I hope things work out for you though.

Haha...I know what you mean. He always wants to buy new rims and tires, and im like noooo, youve barely had them for a month! And there like freaking expensive!! He just gave our xbox to his little brother, after he spent over $200 on it, so video game spending is not a problem. I guess.

He should have sold his xbox and got money for it, then go stock up on some diapers so you have some when your babys born. Lol.

My boyfriends always trying to buy basketball shoes, and video games. And the shoes he wants are like 165 dollars.. Im like there shoes. We had to talk about that kinda stuff a lot because before I had my daughter we had over 10,000 in the bank, and then I went into premature labor and had to be flown out of my town to a better hospital, and at that point we had 6,000...When we got back to my hometown we had 100 and bills to pay. We're doing a lot better now that he realizes our child is much more important then material things. :) I hope things work out with your mom, and I hope you guys get your own place so you don't have to stress out about stuff like that!

We can pay it, and we do...
Thing is, its not due till the 1st, she just freaked out cause she saw the (expensive) stuff we bought, and made false accusations, it made me mad.

I can work, but when I was working, I drove like 40 miles one way...
(we live really far from everything)
$170 every 2 weeks in gas was a little ridiculous I thought.

And I gave my car to my brother after I quit cause he totalled his :)

Have you ever been close to your mom. Because then if you was close to your mom you need to respect her because it is her place after all. But you do need to get a place of your own. That would be the best thing. I know there is alot of people who likes being close to their mom because she will be there when you need a mother to talk about your kids. I hope this helps you any.
