01/17 "Get Your Act Together!"

Quote From: katiemarie8999

My brother and I are living in a very small house with his son, his son's girlfriend and their two children.  They were only suppose to stay here for about two months and now it has been over two years and they only had one child when they moved in.  I am disabled and live on my disability and when they do work it's like pulling teeth to get any money from them for food, bills, etc..  They almost TRY to make you feel guilty for asking for any help.  I'm at my wits end!  What in the world is wrong with these people
I had my whole family live with me in a two-bedroom mobile home.  My sons are 26 and 30.  Both have wives and two kids  a piece.  The oldest finally moved out and is doing well.  The youngest and his wife I had to tell them to move because they were thinking it was their place and that I was the roommate.  They also were disrepectful.  I was not allowed to eat with them or their food even though I paid the bills.  When I told them it was time for them to get out on their own, my punishment was that I couldn't see the grandkids.  I have not seen them for a whole year now.  I just wonder what kids  nowadays think when they live off their parents.

I  think more to the point is ,, what is the matter with you. Kick there asses out,do exactly what the doc said,, 30 days and your out. If they dint listen involve the police to give them their notice. Stop letting them do this.

Is the house your's or your brother's.  Either way, you both need to do what others have said here....give them 30 days (tops) and mean it.  Guilt should not be part of your emotions here......you are doing them no favors at all by allowing them to use you & your generosity.  If they can't support their children, tell them you will contact the Family Services Dept of your community.   But you DO NOT have any obligations  to take care of those free-loaders.  Face it....you are being used and I'll bet your nephew & his girlfriend think that you & your brother are too stupid to make them get out.
