Um, so our second, we have four children, our second son, um, he lost his job a couple, about a year and a half ago. And he was 29. He's now 30. And he, um, he was renting a place with our youngest son and he was behind on his rent. And we, um, we paid to, have his rent caught up. So our other son wouldn't get penalized for it. Then we allowed him to move in. He was without a job for six months.

Then we allowed him to move in. He was without a job for six months.
He did get a job and once he started, we were having him pay $200 back for the loan and $200 back for rent. So that has been going on since last August. And then our younger son, um, he was supposed to get married and that didn't happen and his housing fell through. So he, at the last minute asked if he could move in with us, um, at the end of August. So he's been here for two months.

And we just started charging him rent. So they make a lot of money. You do or they do? They do. I mean, we're fine. My husband and I are fine, but they do make a lot of money. And at times I feel like we're being taken for granted.

Right? Mm-hmm. Yeah. And see, my husband and I, we got married young, 19 and 21. And we had four kids, you know, right within seven years. And we never, we worked our butts off to, you know, just live paycheck to paycheck. And so we never had a safety net, either one of us. And so we always wanted to make sure that our kids didn't feel that. And that we were that.
