Moving and Money

So, after everything we went through to get me and Shayla living up here again with Chance, so that we could live on our own and be our own little family, my mother wants us to come live with her at the ranch so we can save money. I was like "orly? Are you kidding me? I mean, look at everything we did so we could be together, so we could live up here with Chance in our own little house. You want us to come live with you?" Sure, it'll save us $250 a month rent (maybe), and the $80-120 a month phone/internet bill (maybe). We might have to keep paying those anyway because Chance's mom can't afford to. That's the whole reason we're still here anyway. Chance is helping his mom. We pay rent so she can afford to pay the full note on the house (which is like $600 not counting insurance, which is even more) and we pay the phone bill so that the foster people can contact her and continue thinking she's living here with the foster kids instead of at that camp-house thing they're building, because that thing definitely wouldn't be legal for the foster kid program thing.

I mean, despite the fact that they got rid of the mold, the mice, and most of the mess, I just don't want to live with that many people. Its ridiculous. My parents, my 2 sisters, Shayla, Chance, and me? That's like way too many people. Plus, I know my family well enough to know that, despite what they say, they didn't change their ways. Mom and Dad will probably fight. My sisters will fight. Plus, it will just go to shit again. No one will want to cook or clean up after themselves. I just don't want to be in that situation again. It sucked the first time, and I know it'll suck again.

Plus, I didn't move away from living with one set of parents to live with another, even if they are mine and not my in-laws. Not that I don't love them all.
