Thank you for all your advice you gave me.
I have my dad that I can ask for money for help to pay things but him and my step mom gave us 3,000 so that we could buy our house under the condition that we pay it back as soon as we close(we didnt need to use it, it just had to be there).
Well we tried for a consildation loan and he told us to keep the money in our account till we were done, hoping that if it was there we would have a better shot. We got turned down. Then he called and asked for 1000.00 to pay his gas bill for the yr I had it no problem. Then he wouldnt let me pay back the rest and we ended up using it to live on. Since we moved in here he has bought us all the stuff we have needed to fix the place up so far and taken me greovcery shopping out of the blue. I dont feel right calling him and asking for more moeny from him.
So I pd the mortgage payment 29 days late. Next payment is due on Tuesday and I wont have it. Dh's check isnt even for the whole amount. So I will put half the house payment aside, pay all the other bills I can and use his next check in 2 weeks to make up he rest of the payment. It will only be 15 days late at that point.
This week was a small flop due to halloween but I got money from Child Support and selling Avon so we should be ok. its a big deal to my kids. I can do without for them. Also my car broke down and we dont know what it is, but my dad has it at his house. this is one of those times where he will fix it and not let me pay for it.
My dad rocks


Hi kristina! it's nice to hear that you have such a great dad! my parents are the same way. about 5 years ago I had to go to the emergency room and had no insurance. I tried to make payments on the 5k bill and collectors were still harrassing me. So, my parents asked us over for dinner and offered us the money, no strings attached. It killed me to take it, because they had to pull it out of their IRA. But after weeks of saying no, I can't. we will figure it out, we took it. It killed me. I still feel awful. If we ever get out of this damn mess, I will send them on a small vacation somewhere. (since i know they would never, ever, take the cash back. I have tried to make payments.) they have also bailed us out by letting me use their credit card. SO, we now owe 600 on a card of theirs. However, that gets paid first every month and has never, ever been late.
Once again, we are having the same dilema as you this month! We are 29 days late on our mortgage. However, our mortgage was recently sold to another company and I was unable to send the payment to them anyhow. (it is just now showing up in the other companies computer.) I am going to set it up to take 150 a week out of our bank acct. (600 for this first mortgage.) we have another for 250. I may split that one up too. Our 6 month tax bill is also due at the end of november. Where are you on your taxes? or are they escrowed? it just feels like a juggling game right now.
Do you make alot of money selling avon? I was thinking of trying it myself. Is there a big start up cost?
I wish you lots of luck and i hope things look up for you soon. Until then, know that I am right there with ya!!! (as well as everyone else on this board!)

My parents were the same way a long time ago, they gave me some money (and this wasn't even for major issues like we are dealing with now) but *every time* I tried to give them the money back, they wouldn't take it.
So, I resorted to being sneaky.
