Funny you say that, it's all gone too.#### is really starting to hit the fan on the home front.

I've tried letting my wife handle her sister, but it's not going very well(wife is worried about the kids).I'm tired of worrying about being the "nice" guy. No matter what I do, I'll end up looking like the #######, so might as well get to it.doubt it. quit being a nancy and man up.#### is really starting to hit the fan on the home front.

This should be interesting. You all have put up with way too much at this point. Be firm but direct. Let her know that you are not going to just roll over. Good luck man, i would hate to be in your position. I know it is in here somewhere but how old is she? I have a younger brother that is similarly irresponsible that I consider a kid; however, my wife consistently reminds me that he is 29 years old. My parents have just enacted “tough love” by evicting him from their rental house. He ended up spending two weeks in a broke down motor home on a side street. My parents were worried that the police would have it towed and he would not have anywhere to stay so the allowed him to bring said motor home to their home. My other brother and I had talked about paying for an apartment for him but I am afraid he would just fall into the same habits. I have a very hard time with this because I can afford to pay for him without blinking an eye (I am not football guy rich but I make well over six figures) but I feel like he wont learn any responsibility. Thank goodness he does not have kids. Once again I don’t envy you.Funny you say that, it's all gone too.#### is really starting to hit the fan on the home front.

Went to a cancer benefit a few months back, $5 ticket won us a wheelbarrow full of booze. Roughly 80 bottles(all name brand stuff too), and we even got to keep the wheelbarrow.

I've done those too(little more rewarding imo).

You might as well start a poll now for when she will be moving back in. I am sure she'll play the "my poor kids have nowhere to live" card in the future again if things don't work out with her new guy and your wife will make you take her back in your house even though both of you are sick of her.

Damn you. I saw this thread back up and assumed Mrs. Wrigley's sister was back.So is she still living with the guy or is she freeloading at someone else's house now?
Give it time, she'll be back.Damn you. I saw this thread back up and assumed Mrs. Wrigley's sister was back.So is she still living with the guy or is she freeloading at someone else's house now?
Good for your wife. SIL needs help. Feel bad for her kids...she better be careful or they're going to end up in foster care.SIL is in hot water.....again.
Thought she had her act together(at least for her)
Job: check
House: check
Kids in school: check
Well, this heavenly tale may be coming to an abrupt end
Wife broke down and told me her sister had called the other night in need of some help. Apparently, while in transit from one boyfriends home to another, she got pulled over.
Officer asked if she had been drinking? She of course denied any wrong doing(what poor little me?). Officer then led her through a field sobriety test, and told her she had to blow......she scoffed at this, and said no, she didn't have to......but yet still did
She blew a .31.....that's not a typo. And she still told my wife she didn't feel that drunk.
She proceeded to ask my wife to come bail her out, and to front the cash to get her car out of impound.
After finding out all the details, my wife read her the riot act. You've been given a second chance(old boyfriends family paid her way out of legal troubles) How dare you drink so much and drive, YOU COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE. Who is watching your kids?(her 12 year old is babysitting his two younger siblings) #### YOU, I will not put myself and my family on the line for you again. You're going to have to call mom and dad, maybe they will be willing to take the kids, because YOU NEED HELP!!!! I WILL NOT BAIL YOU OUT, AND I WILL NOT GET YOUR CAR OUT OF IMPOUND. .....and then she hung up.
Her kids spent the night at home alone, I suspect this happens all the time. But to make this worse, she wasn't there when they got up to go to school.
She has a very destructive behavior. Things are just starting to look up for her....so of course she's got to go out and #### it up.
Did I mention she did this on a Tuesday night?
I hate her.
That's 12 drinks in a two hour period for a 150# woman. I don't even drink that fast...She blew a .31.....that's not a typo. And she still told my wife she didn't feel that drunk.
She weighs 110 soaking wet.That's 12 drinks in a two hour period for a 150# woman. I don't even drink that fast...She blew a .31.....that's not a typo. And she still told my wife she didn't feel that drunk.
