Quote From: sophia1213maybe some one can give me advice on how to handle my son-in-law-he has noconcerns when it comes to helping family members out (doing favors) but he wants them returned to him--example--my son in law and daugther moved to a new home so myself my son and my boyfriend helped all weekend,he used my son truck with out even thinking about replacing gas or thanking him for the use of the truck-but sat.nite my son and my son in law and daugther when to a bar and my son in lw told my son he owes him $8.00 for drinks..this is only a mild example--he has done one greedy thing to us all..and it put a grey cloud over his head when it comes to doing anythin for him--then when my daugther confronts him about this he states it a joke or he was kidding..well we are tired of all the jokes and kidding--give me some advice to handle this before i completely refusse to do anything,plus i don't want ot hurt my daugther...
Your son in law is a manipulator. Helping them to move was very kind of you, your boyfriend and son- but your kindness has to come out of the goodness of your heart when it comes to your son in law; because you KNOW that he won’t be giving back. It is really very sad, but you’ve got to face the truth at this point. Next time, if there is a next time, your son should tell him before hand that he would like the truck to have gas in it when it is returned. Of course, that is something that should be common sense; but obviously, it isn’t when it comes to your son in law. I know that these things add up and are very hurtful, but you will never change your son in law, so it is time to change the way that you react and interact with him so that you feel better about the outcome. I wish you well!
