Finally this is being addressed!
This is a Major thing that is Happening all over and you will find alot of times its the Men who do this not all so do not get me wrong but the boys the spoiled rotten ones like my own brother!!!
We have had this in our family my almost 50 year old brother is living off of my mom (70) and my disabled step father(72) who has MS. Him and his girlfriend moved in there in Sept for what was to be only 3 weeks! well here we are June 9 months later and he is still there!!! They have wrecked and Drove there Van into the Ground and they have no money to get a new one. I have for the last few months been doing the 100 mile round trip to the house there to take them shopping or to the Doctors and well I decided enough was enough read on.~
Here is a Kicker for ya all to see. I am evil! My mom has always caved in to my brothers wishes and this time there is no going back.. I listed the house sense I own it well owned it (I told my mom that this was the only way for them to get rid of him which is it so true and I NEVER agreed with them moving in there in the first place! ) with an Real Estate Lady and sold it last week the thing was we would make appointments to show it and of course have to tell them stories the visiting nurse ect ect was coming and they had to go..
We took my mom around to a few really nice Senor Living Apartments in this area and finally found one that they liked. In the Long run it is going to be so much cheaper for them to live there then out in a 3 bedroom house and they have shuttle vans that go to the stores around here at no cost to them ( we moved her closer to myself and my sister) and for 2 dollars round trip they will take them to the Doctors.
The best part of my year was June 6th when I went up and did the closing on the house and afterwords myself and the New owners went there and told my mom that it was final and that they had to be out by July 1st.
My Brother was like what???
You should have seen the looks on there faces when I told them that I had sold the house and that as of July 1st they had better find some form of shelter because they could no longer Mooch off of my mom and stepdad! It was PRICELESS Then we hit them with the fact that they are moving into a Retirement Community that only has One Bedroom and Security Cameras and Guards the whole deal and that him and his girlfriend could not go there to live with them :) you have to be on the lease and over 65.
Its a Sad thing that some people do this but in our case I blame my mom for this he is a lazy does not work and she works to support both of there crack habits and a dinky resturant and what she gets in tips the crack up on.. So basically at this point in time if they live in the streets as nasty as it sounds I DO Not Care at least my mom and stepdad can eat and pay there bills and know that they dont have to lock up everything.
So if nothing else works for any of you all talk your parents into selling if they own and move them to a nice place or in with you which would have been my next step My brother has been here done that and I went to court and evicted him you would have thought my mom would have learned by my mistakes!
(Original Air Date: 1/10/07) Dr. Phil takes on a different kind of moocher … the Mega Moocher! Not only do these extreme freeloaders refuse to work -- decades at a time -- but they expect you to support them and their entire family forever! Connie says her 33-year-old son, Richard, is so lazy and selfish that he actually found a way to put her out of her own home, so he could move his family of five in. Connie and her husband, Rick, say they have paid over $30,000 in the last 18 months to support Richard, and they have had enough. Is an eviction the only way to get him out? And can Connie live with the guilt, knowing it could leave her three grandchildren homeless as well? Then, Janelle wants her brother, Jeff, to stop mooching off their 91-year-old grandfather, who has been supporting him for 18 years. Jeff says he has no need to work because he doesn’t have kids. Will this be the day these guests put an end to their family members’ freeloading ways? Tell us what you think!
