my poor friend.....
I feel so badly for a friend of mine, he's a single dad. Well, not totally, but may as well be. The BM in his situation sucks. When he divorced, he allowed his BS to live w/BM b/c she was so depressed and he thought taking away BS would make her loose her mind. He was basically old enough to take care of himself, BUT he knew BS did not need to live with her.
Anyway, last month, I spent some time with my friend and found out that BM is now CHARGING BS16 to live with her. She says she can't make it financially w/out his contribution. I call bullshit. She is a very high maintenance chick and if she would cut back on the nail/hair thing EVERY week, she could afford to support herself. My friend pays CS, a hefty amount, so there is NO reason why she should charge her own kid rent.....he's not even 18. I would totally understand if he was 18.... UGH people frustrate me.
BS gets the money to pay her every month from a rich relative of my friends.....

That's more like a
That's more like a 'shake-down'! Has your friend invited his BS to live with him? Maybe give him the option. At 16 yo, he can decide for himself. If BM is depressed, that's something SHE needs to work out with her doctor.
Thats hilarious and awful at
Thats hilarious and awful at the same time. Who does that? Why doesn't the Dad ask the son to move in with him?
I think the dad needs to
I think the dad needs to offer his home to his son. A 16-year old shouldn't be left in a situation where he feels obligated to keep a parent company or feel like he has to carry his mother through depression. That's something that needs to be dealt with between her & her doctor. If she feels she's short on money, having her son live with his dad would ease that burden too. And...if the money truly isn't a burden to her, it'll take away the excuse.
