Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Yar!
So I'm guessing this is all about another Dingwall?

Nope. Sadly my mom and step dad have hit a rough patch, and will be loosing their house some time soon. I wont let them be on the streets, and none of my other brothers or sisters are really stepping up. My day job has cut back on hours, and they have eliminated their bonus incentive program (A month before pay out for this year to boot). So I am making about 30% less, and wont be getting any sort of bonus either.

So it is back to working on the ship for me.

The whole situation sucks. Have to get their stuff in storage, and then find a place for them to stay long term. I live in a 400 ft^2 apartment. They can camp out in my living room for a while, but there isnt enough room for them to stay long term.
 
Sorry to hear about your Ma and stepdad, dude. My wife had to spend a lot of time taking care of her folks over the last few years, it's hard, hard work. They were older and in poor health and needed to be helped through assisted living to hospice, the whole bit. My wife has 3 other siblings that could have helped but didn't. Everything gets dumped on the one child that is actually decent enough to not be able to nothing. It's difficult, unfair and downright poopy. I wonder how some people can live with themselves - wouldn't any you guys feel bad if your brother-in-law did more to help out your ailing parents than you did?

Anyway, I hope the double job thing and the parents thing get worked out with a minimum of BS. Hang in there.
