Well here we go again.

I feel like this is just the same story order and over again. Today my dad got into an argument with my aunt over the money issue, you know the drama about her being a stickler with her money and treating everyone like dog poo on her shoes.

Well, as it turns out. This drama has now turned into a series lol.

My dad decided to bring the issues and questions face to face with my aunt and find out what is going on with her recent changes and if there was something he needed to be doing to help her. Because obviously the way she’s been acting isn’t like her, so…

As it turns out. My mom has been borrowing money from my aunt rather frequently and for nonsense things. Like going out, purchases upgrades on her car, spa days, etc.

Like nothing that is essential or anything my dad couldn’t afford. Just stuff she wants.

And the weird thing is, my dad makes good money. Like, house is paid for, 2 paid in full cars in the parking lot and he doesn’t keep debt on anything. He pays everything each month, even if he uses a credit card. Very money conscious and smart.

It’s why he handles the bills and doesn’t let my mom do it. He just puts so much each week in their joint account for her to use after he’s paid bills. Not bad I think. I mean she usually gets over 1k each week, so I would think that’s plenty.

But nope. Apparently she’s been spending money like a mad women. And my aunt has been bailing her out so my dad wouldn’t find out.

I always knew my mom thought she was above everyone, she talks down like she should be royalty and should have whatever she wants. But to be so far up in the clouds that you’re putting your sister in debt just because you want to spend money like it’s so easily available to people these days, is insane.

My dad found out she’s been renting an office in town for her arts and craft stuff. She charged all the decorating and furniture on credit and never paid the bill. My aunt showed him receipts that blew his mind.

I overheard my aunt tell him that “she’s always been bad with money, and she doesn’t care who it hurts as long as she gets what she wants.”

My dad told her the reason he kept the bills was because when she was in charge of it, the account was always in the hole, and he was paying ridiculous fees with the bank. His credit was poorly impacted, and at one point, they almost lost the house.

All I can say is I hope my money skills come from my dad.

He and my aunt are planning to confront her about it this week. He said he needs to get all the numbers together and see what he can do to control the situation.
