ControllingDo any of you have one? a controlling friend? if so, how do you handle it? I didn't really think of the word 'controlling' until it was thrown at me by someone who was listening to me vent. Two weeks ago my car died. I hate it. I have to ask people for rides, and working at a bar is making it hard. i have a female friend who helps me with my cars, and she is insistent that she is going to help me find a car. But every car I find, no matter what the price, she wants to keep looking. "I looked for six months for my car," She said. Yeah, well, that's all well in fine. You had your sons car to get around, no job. I have two jobs, a family . . . etc . . Friday, I got what I believed was a cool deal. a 2000 4 door Saturn, fully loaded, with 2 year bumper to bumper warranty, they'll give me 300 for my car, and tow it. all for under 3500. Hello, deal, I'm thinking. This car is good. Nope. She says, 'no. Her reasoning. 'what if it breaks down' um, that's why I'm getting the bumper to bumper, plus, it comes with a rental car. Because I physically only test drove two cars, she is pissed that I want to take this deal. I mean, really mad at me. As if I insulted her. when she asked me ten days ago what type of car I wanted, I said a saturn. I'm tired of not having a car. I have relied on this woman for rides for nearly two weeks,. it has cost me over fifty bucks in gas and thirty in starbucks. Not to mention, that I am at her beck and call when she rides me, the other day we left my house at 10 am, and I didn't get home until 2 pm, because she wanted to get on the internet at starbucks. 2 1/2 hours at starbucks, i was miserable. So my question is, how would you handle this? I just need to get a car. I understand her wanting to help me, but I want a car, I don't want to rely on people for rides. I work at a bar til 3 in the morning. It's ridiculous trying to find a ride home. On a funny side, I got up. I didn't hear the baby crying, so I went to check on him. He was awake and content. Here's why. Guess he was fussy at night and roni tried to calm him. I lifted the bay in the morning and left her sleep. I don't get how or why the sides of the crib were up.
