This 24-year-old girl currently lives in a house and splits it with her 2 roommates, that are pretty close to her age.

She and her roommates work freelance creative jobs and really don’t have a ton of money between them.

A couple of months back, a woman named Anna moved in next to them, and Anna is a single mom of two kids.

Her mom raised her all alone, so she knows it can be difficult to be in this position. She reached out to Anna and said she was happy to help her settle in next door and that if she ever needed anything to stop by as she would be happy to help.

One week after Anna moved in, Anna knocked on her door, wondering if she could borrow her Wi-Fi so her kids could use it.

Anna mentioned that she was having a hard time getting an electrician to come over and set up her Wi-Fi, so she gave Anna her Wi-Fi password.

“A couple of weeks pass, and we get a knock on the door, and a child (her child) is standing there with a mobile asking for the password,” she explained.

“I give it to him as I’m not really going to say no to a child. A month or so passes, and we are having a few issues with the Wi-Fi. Nothing major, just buffering and stop and starts on Zoom calls.”

“But I work from home sometimes, so need fast Wi-Fi. I texted Anna asking if she has got an electrician in (I know she hasn’t, as I can see she is connected, but as a gentle nudge). There are now seven additional devices on our Wi-Fi at this point.”

Anna responded that she was continuing to have difficulties in getting an electrician to come to her house.

Figuring this had to be because it was the holiday season, she still tried to be sympathetic toward Anna’s delay.

Well, it’s now January, and Anna and Anna’s kids have been on their Wi-Fi for about 3 months. Neither she nor her roommates have seen an electrician stop by Anna’s house to fix her Wi-Fi.

On top of this, every device in Anna’s home is on their Wi-Fi-, which is making the speed of their internet super slow.

“We could upgrade it to be faster, but it’s about 20$ more a month,” she added. “My roommate says just to cut her off and not say anything, but I feel bad doing that to a single mum.”

“She also has not attempted any kind of contact/friendship with us besides asking for the Wi-Fi or asked to extend using it/offer to chip in for it. We have been friendly, given her a gift for Xmas, and offered to babysit should she need (5+ years experience doing this).”

She’s left wondering if it would be mean of her to kick Anna off. What do you think?
