okay. Fireball and her hubby have been putting up with their rude guests and their unruly kids and pets for 6 months now. at the required departure time in June they will have been mooching off Fireball and her hubby for 10 months. just how long do you think someone is suppose to cheerfully support someone and their entirely family, pets included? IMO even the most pleasant guest would be unpleasant to have around after 6 frigging months. and does "the do unto others" thing also apply to the rude guests? shouldn't it be a "moral dilemma" for the rude guest too that they're still living on the backs of their friends after 6 months? isn't it immoral to take undue advantage of the hospitality of others, using ones kids as a shield against having to take responsibility, get a job and find someplace to live, support ones self and kids? isn't it immoral to misuse and abuse the love of a friend? "moral dilemma" PFFFFFT! there's no moral dilemma in unburdening yourself of people who abuse your kindness. if the rude guest hasn't taken responsibility for herself and her kids by June Social Services won't let the kids starve and there are such things as women's shelters. spending some time in a women's shelter might do the rude spoiled guest some good, provide her with some perspective and perhaps even help her to begin to appreciate that she wasted 10 months and her friend's love being an arrogant user.
