Her Friends And Their Kids Recently Became Homeless, But She’s Not Letting Them Stay With Her Since Their Last Apartment Was Disgusting When She Visited
This 30-year-old woman currently owns a three-bedroom, one-bathroom house by herself. But, one of her friends and their husband recently became homeless, and she doesn’t want to let them stay with her.
For some context, her female friend is 26-years-old, and her friend’s husband is 25. And for a couple of years, the couple repeatedly talked about the idea of moving a few states away.
“I kept telling them that they needed to plan financially and have some type of support system before they moved,” she recalled.
Yet, a few years later, her friend randomly announced one day that she and her husband planned to move out of state in less than three months. The most shocking part about this situation was that her friend already had a 3-year-old child, plus another baby on the way.
Despite that, the couple went through with the move and were able to sustain themselves for a month or two. Then, their baby was born, and everything fell apart.
Her friend didn’t work following the birth, and her friend’s husband went on family leave. This caused the couple to fall extremely behind on their rent payments.
“And I flew down there for a week to help them pack and move back. But when I got there, their apartment was disgusting,” she detailed.
Whenever the couple changed their baby’s diaper, they would just leave the soiled diaper sitting there. The same went for spills and food. Even if the items were perishable, they were simply left out.
“Kids vomited, or a diaper leaked? They would pick up a majority of the vomit, but that’s as far as it went. They had ants because of this,” she revealed.

So, her friend and her friend’s husband got evicted after only being in their apartment for five months. During the final month, her friend managed to find a full-time job, too.
However, once the couple planned to move back home, she found out her friend hadn’t even come up with a plan for navigating the transition. More specifically, she asked her friend if her job could be transferred back to their original home state.
“No, I was scheduled to work a few days ago and didn’t go,” her friend responded.
According to her, her friend has a long history of abandoning positions and even laughed about doing it.
Anyway, once the couple moved back, they were initially staying with a relative. That arrangement didn’t last, though, because their family member wound up getting evicted.
“Now, they have nowhere to live and asked me if all four of them could live with me since I have two unused bedrooms,” she vented.
In all honesty, she flat-out told her friend no. She’s refusing to let them live with her for the time being, and she isn’t sure if that makes her a real jerk or not.
Should she feel responsible for bailing her friends out after they made poor decisions? What would you do in this situation?
