I mean, I don’t own the house! My parents do. But I’m supposed to take care of stuff like that.

SATURDAY 12:35 PM

Plumbing?

SATURDAY 12:36 PM

Yeah.

I mean, not like, doing it myself. I don’t know how. But hiring people and stuff.

SATURDAY 12:37 PM

Then I suggest you hire someone ;)

I’m sorry if that’s overstepping. I’m sure you were planning to.

SATURDAY 12:38 PM

You’re not overstepping! I mean, I like it. The advice, I mean.

I am planning on hiring someone. I just have to get my roommates to pay their rent first, so I can.

SATURDAY 12:40 PM

They’re late on the rent?

SATURDAY 12:40 PM

Always :(

I mean, I don’t mean to whine about it. They’ve got their reasons, I guess? I’m just not very good at being pushy.

SATURDAY 12:42 PM

Assertive, not pushy. And if they’re living there, they need to pay on time.

SATURDAY 12:43 PM

I know. Sorry.

SATURDAY 12:44 PM

Sweetheart, I’m not berating you. I meant to encourage you.

SATURDAY 12:45 PM

It’s just hard to bring it up with them sometimes. I don’t know what to say.

SATURDAY 12:46 PM

Would you like some ideas?

SATURDAY 12:47 PM

Yes, please!
