Holy Hannah, the drama

mickeymDonnie came home after working today, and announced she was no longer employed. She finished her shift, and then turned in her key and told the store manager, Carolyn, "I quit". One of the crew people filed an "untrue report" (according to Donnie), and Carolyn "doesn't seem to have my back", so she quit.
Matthew, Madisyn and I think she realized she wasn't the golden child, favored one, in Carolyn's eyes any longer, so she was going to react like a child would. She has a couple of interviews set up with other companies, but she quit -- when she's supposed to be saving money to move out of here -- without having anything else actually lined up.
Megan's apparently making decent money, but she's now the sole source of income for them -- and she just went today and ordered a brand new Playstation 5 from Aaron's (a rent-to-own place, if anyone's unfamiliar). It's like $20/week... but again, they're supposed to be saving to move out. They haven't paid rent since August/September (I say they paid in August; Matthew and Madisyn say they didn't), and I told them that if they were planning to be out before the end of the year, and their aim was by the end of next month, that they didn't have to pay anything. Just put it all toward savings. Except they're eating out and NOT helping around the house, and I just don't know what to think any more. I gave them that grace, and now they're kind of throwing it back in my face, it feels like.
Meanwhile, we have Internet that's past due, a $170 dollar water bill coming up, and an electric bill that's past due. I did something so incredibly stupid I can't even look at myself for the shame, and we overdrafted my checking account -- to a point where my SSI check won't even cover it.
Madisyn and Matthew say Megan and Donnie need to be out by the end of this month. Which is only three weeks away. They haven't even said anything to them, and I keep telling them they can't just decide and only give them iike, a couple weeks' worth of notice. It takes longer than that, usually, to get approved for an apartment -- and now D/M are going to have hanging over their head that both are in new jobs (Megan's only had hers for a couple weeks; even if Donnie gets a job Monday or Tuesday, most places want you to have had your job at least a couple months), plus, are they going to be able to make the 3x/rent that most places now ask for? They don't even know if they'll be accepted because they haven't done the application.
Matthew says they're taking advantage of us, and if they're planning to stay they need to pay rent. Donnie had made a good point for not paying Sept - Dec, in that they'd be able to save up faster. But I don't think that M/M/me can handle them being here much longer.
Madisyn has to go in tomorrow and open -- it was supposed to be her day off -- because Donnie quit. She is very, VERY unhappy about this, though at least now she won't have to deal with Donnie bringing home shit to work, or creating drama there at work. But now Donnie will be here all the time, so I don't know how that's going to work for Madisyn.
Pray for us, people. Or keep us in your thoughts. Whatever. Anything. I think it's going to get a lot MORE stressful before it gets less stressful. O_O
