“Wi-Fi was $215, and electric was $146. When it was just my boyfriend and me, Wi-Fi was $64, and electric was $70. She never paid for it either, even though I had asked for at least half, as I pay rent fully,” she explained.
Throughout this frustrating situation, she repeatedly tried to give her co-worker guidance on how to be a responsible parent despite the fact that she wasn’t the one who had just had a baby. But her co-worker never took any of her opinions into consideration.
She’d only respond by saying, “Okay,” which is also how she responded when she was asked to tidy up after herself. However, she was the one who always wound up cleaning up after her co-worker because otherwise, the messes would sit there untouched.
In her view, her co-worker was totally inept, and she’d debated on contacting CPS due to her co-worker’s neglectful parenting.
One day, she tracked down a place that was available immediately that would be suitable for her co-worker to move into.
“I told her that they needed to talk to her directly and if she could call them. So, I sat on the couch and waited for her to pick up the phone. Surprise, she didn’t. She just kept playing video games. Finally, I turned off the TV, handed her the phone, and said firmly, ‘Call them. NOW!’ She didn’t want to and threw the phone and said she ‘wasn’t ready’ and ‘How am I going to take care of a baby on my own?!?'” she shared.
In response, she told her co-worker that that wasn’t her issue or responsibility to worry about, and she added that she wanted her co-worker to move out by the end of the week.
Then, her co-worker’s mother called her and screamed at her for telling her daughter to move out. She told her co-worker’s mother that she needed to come over and pick her daughter up that night. She continued and told her co-worker’s mother that if she didn’t come get her daughter, she would call the cops and have them walk her co-worker out of her apartment.
Despite the clear urgency of the situation, her co-worker’s mother claimed that she couldn’t pick up her daughter that night or even by the end of the week.
So, she stuck to her word. First, she called CPS to make a report about her co-worker neglecting her newborn baby, and she called the cops after that to request that her co-worker be walked out of her apartment.
While she was on the phone, her co-worker was listening in, and she finally called her mother to talk about what was happening.
