if it's not one thing it's another

hey y'all, where to begin with this....some, if not most, know i got married new years eve. Leigh, my wife, has 2 kids one is 24 the other is almost 29. 24, brandon, moved back to austin right after we got married and found a great job on a gourmet roach coach (they're big down here and there's a fuckton of shit that i'll try and sum up) and ash, 28, still lives here. well, she moved to austin the same week as brandon but was back within roughly 4 days because she couldn't find a place to live (hello? plan for it?) or a job.

basically it's like this; both kids leeched off mom the entire time we were dating with no job and mooching off her at every chance so when they found out that we were getting married they realized that their leeching days were over. let me put it this way, wake up....smoke a bowl....eat....nap.....smoke a bowl....repeat. they knew that when i moved in that the meal ticket was over. B is in austin now. Ash? HA! financial wise, leigh pays the rent and I cover the bills including groceries so it balances out.

here's the latest deal of many: tonight, leigh and ash got into it because i asked that if i'm the one paying the electric bill (almost 300 this week and it's only april) then please don't touch the thermostat. ash was already pissed off so when i came in the house from the deck to hear this convo i interjected that please don't change it unless you want to "throw me some bones" (aka money to help pay the bill) i even offered to let her pay the bill and then she can set it where she wants....she got even more pissed because "she wasn't talking to me"

what?

i pay the bill.

hope i make some sense. i could go on but i'm too damn frustrated.

But they were arguing over the thermostat, not the bill. I wish I was kidding. They're doing this whole power struggle and you're just confusing the issue with practical considerations and pertinent facts.

Please don't junk up the argument with pertinent facts and practical considerations.

Man, I hate that.

And, please, for the love of Pete, don't start making sense.

Does she dictate how you use the house that she pays rent for?
