Quote From: ceildh1I wonder how he managed to evict his Mother out of her own home ? Wow, that's horrid.
But why do we keep revisiting these useless creatures ( the Moochers I mean ), the answer is too easy, get them out of your life. DNA means nothing, sharing a last name, nothing if you allow it, it will happen.
I have in laws like this, they haven't spoken to myself or my husband for three years, since his father passed, why ? Quite simple, we WILL NOT support them or their kids, we watched helplessly as they DRAINED my FIL financially and emotionally, at 72, he was put in a position that he was raising four more kids, who themselves were brought up to think the world revolved around them. Now the only one they speak to is my one BIL who can and WILL support them, and raise their kids for them, do I feel sorry for him, a resounding NO, that is his CHOICE.
As guilty as she will feel, Grandma has to get them OUT of her home, they will be forced to either Get a JOB, or lose their kids, her DIL I wonder is she just as useless, or is she supporting the lump she married ?
Yes we will ALWAYS be their parents, but there comes a day where we HAVE to let them fly on their own, not pick up their messes, be there as support and a shoulder, but ultimitly, they HAVE to learn to clean up after themselves, 18 okay boarderline adult, but 33, come on. But one thing I have seen, is that these parents are getting something out of this, or they've been buying their kids their whole lives, but think about this, what happens when the gravy train DIES ? It will happen, and then these people are left with NOTHING, and no one to look after them, hmmmm, maybe they'll be lucky enough to have a brother that will clean up for them.
I think your message is a little cinical!!! it absolutly mean's something to share DNA. My children are very closely attached to my heart string's & i would never want them to suffer. These problem's started long before these people were adult's. I don't agree with people mooching off family, but i do think they had a little help in learning how to manipulate. Have you ever heard that saying... " what we fear, we create" be careful. I trust that i am raising my family to be very self sufficient.
