wow, sylvain, thanks. good read.

it is sooo true that others imposing unwanted help can be urksome.

this was a weird one though, because they would say that they "wanted" help, but then do everything under the sun to self sabatage themselves. that is why this recent situation was such a hard one for me to deal with.

these people moved in downstairs, and know that they are not aloud to smoke in the house, and that we have a young child living with us. right away they started smoking, and so we gave them a warning, then they smoked again ( a lot) and we gave them a notice to move out, but they couldn't find a place in time (because they never even looked) so i gave them another chance. as soon as we signed the agreement that they could stay for one more month as long as there was no smoking, they had a bunch of smokers over and smoked us right out.

instead of putting up with it at all, since they so blatently did it to themselves (plus the boyfriend was being quite threatening) i phoned the police this time, and the police said they invalidated the agreement and have to be out in 3 days.....i felt so sorry for them, but am in no way going to bail them out this time.

now that i have typed it all out it seems silly that i would even have struggled with this. it seems pretty clear cut this time, lol.
