The only pics I have of her would need to be posted in the Romper Room

So you know what I'm talking about. You get so angry because they repeatedly make the same mistake but in the end you help out because you just can't bare to see them suffer. Guilt can be a bitch sometimes.

Nah. Wife and I have cut them off. Get a job or get a sugar daddy, just get the fuck up outta here.

Heh, I am a little late to this thread but in the past what I have done is run a tab when someone needed help and reminded them they owed me money, the more the borrowed, the more I reminded them what they owed me. It tends to get the point across, also, it helps when you need to be repaid, you see someone starting to do well you remind them, it may seem like a dick move, but I have had a few friends go through hard times, when things were good they paid me back, and we're still friends.

My chances of ever seeing what I've given her over the years is pretty much zilch but she has done me some favors like cleaning my house and such. She's a sweety and I like her a lot but it seems like every time I see her or talk to her I'm a few dollars poorer.

Suggestion, do not carry cash or checks when you know you will see her. That way you can pull the old "Oops! fresh out of cash/checks, hit me up some other time" and eventually she will stop asking.

If nothing else, it let's her know that it's a strain on you. Money is a business transaction, and people need to understand that, sure you may not have a chance of seeing that money back, but when someone sees how much they have borrowed it tends to make them think twice when the number starts to get high. It's very easy to borrow 5 bucks here and 20 bucks there, but when someone says "ok, you know you owe me almost a thousand dollars" they realize that that number is pretty high.

Try a couple thousand dollars :lol: Just since May I've sheeled out over $500 for her daughter's Quincenera, her uncle died and I gave her some cash to help her get to Tijuana, I paid her phone bill, I gave her some money to make a payment on a title loan she took out on her car... Over the years it's been mostly help with gas, groceries, I've bought clothes a few times, given her money to go to the doctor. Like I've said, we're very close and I don't mind helping her, I just wish she'd learn to be more responsible. She shelled out a decent amount of her own money for her daughter's party and now I know she wishes she had some of that money back. I always tell her that she has to learn how to see past her nose, of course she has no idea what I mean by it.

Sorry mate, you're too nice, I deal with millionaires everyday who would not have done what you have... sounds like you are doing a really good deed, but make sure that good deed doesn't set you back.

I'll use myself as an example, I think everyone knows I am a big supporter of BP, but this year I haven't been able to donate, I know I want to, but with the wife here, being a dependant, 20 bucks is a lot :( Can't let that good deed make us struggle. That's all the advice I can give.

Take this FWIW (or I suggest don't even reading it).

I'm just about pissed beyond reason reading this Dub. Unless this chick's personality some how illuminates your world, you're getting financially fucked six ways from Sunday. She's a leech. Moreover, she's teaching her child not to worry about personal financial responsibility. The young lady's just going to be one more leech.

Furthermore, if you really want to see how she "values" your relationship, then cut her off and see if she stays around. I bet dollars to pesos that she's on to the next John who pays her shit.

Now that I have a daughter to take care of, I look at money a bit differently.

Before, I'd have fucked myself over to help out a friend. Money wasn't shit to me, and it didn't mean shit. I'd gladly help out any friend/family who asked, regardless what it did to me.

Now that I have someone that depends on me, those in need can eat a bag of dicks if they're hungry.

I guess my advice is knock some chick up. It may just save you money.
