Unexpected Roommates (1 Viewer)

Apparently all I had to do was make a poll about when she may be moving out.Got home last night to find about half her crap sitting in my garage. Her boyfriend showed up with a uhaul about an hour later and started packing it up.SHE'S MOVING OUT!!!!!I don't know how she's going to support herself(still doesn't work), but she's put the $$$ down(believe she touched her 401k) on a rental home south of here(Hello Clawyer) Stiff stiffing us for the tax break, but at this point I'm just happy to be rid of her.Wife and I are both in agreement, whatever happens, SHE IS NOT MOVING BACK IN.
My brother sounds like a perfect match for this woman. As long as he gets the big V so society doesn't have to deal with 2 generations of this.
 
Sorry to hear about this Wrigley. Obviously the kids are the ones who suffer here. They either follow mom's footsteps, or see her for what she is and learn from her ways. Either way, their innocence is gone. They have to learn things they shouldn't have to learn until later in life.

Interesting parenting tactic by your SIL. She should write the "Opposite Parenting" book.

 
Where is she now? Who has the kids?
She spent the weekend out whoring it up.Still has her DL(for now)It's common practice for her to pawn her kids off on the grandmother so the kiddies don't get in the way.
How does she respond when people question the decision to go out partying immediately after getting a DUI?
Boy, I've seen this a several times; someone gets popped for a DUI and gets another back to back. She will be in a world of trouble when the D.A. gets wind of both of them. If I were you Wrigley, I would approach the wife about moving the kids in now; you'll look like a hero and they are coming anyway. As hard as it is to believe, she does have a disease; her brain's need for alcohol is controlling her actions. You should look out for her the best you can but there is a lot of solace when they are in jail.

It sounds harsh, but have you thought of calling CPS on your SIL? It looks like she wouldn't be willing to have someone else raise them but maybe you should force her hand? I only say this because the children are still relatively young and there is no way they should be left alone that much. GB the 12 year old for being responsible, but he is only 12 and they need an adult to be around.

 
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.
So, there was no welfare check by the cops? Did she lie about having kids? Something got missed here.
 
I have been following this thread since it was first posted and all of the updates and I mainly just feel that I would like to make sex to the SIL.

My two feelings:1. I'd love to have one night with the SIL. Just one will do.2. Wrigley really needs to call CPS and/or assume custody of her kids.
 
Well, my SIL and her husband of 5 years are calling it quits. He's moved out(for good reason) leaving SIL alone with her 3 kids, ranging in age from 12 to 6. Since she has no job, and his income is now gone. They are being forced out of their leased home. Wife asks me last night if they can live with us for a little while(what am I going to do, kick them out on the street)We've only got one extra bedroom now(currently my man cave). Our girls are still sleeping in our room, so we could move a bed into their nursery. We also have an unfinished basement that can be used as a spare bedroom......and plenty of couch space.Her kids are great, but I've kind of had a problem with the SIL for awhile now.She drinks too much.She's not motivated to get a job(used to make pretty good money as an insurance underwriter) She only thinks about herself....very selfish Used her husband as a babysitter so she could go out at nightHer husband is a good guy, who took on more responsibility than he could handle.She smokesAgain, has a major alcohol problem(so much so, I've listed it twice)I was just getting used to having my 3 girls(wife and twin girls), now my life is about to get much more complicated.What is a FBG to do?:lifeupsidedown:
How I missed this thread I'll never know but OMG does that ####### suck! I would kill myself. I'm an absolute ####### to live with so there sure couldn't be room for 1 more. The drinking is obviously the major factor and until that is solved(hopefully she did something about it) I don't think any progress will be made in any area you listed.

She drinks too much.

She's not motivated to get a job(used to make pretty good money as an insurance underwriter)

She only thinks about herself....very selfish

Used her husband as a babysitter so she could go out at night

Her husband is a good guy, who took on more responsibility than he could handle.

She smokes

Again, has a major alcohol problem(so much so, I've listed it twice)

I was just getting used to having my 3 girls(wife and twin girls), now my life is about to get much more complicated.

What is a FBG to do?

You've certainly proven that.
 
SIL received a call last night from her babies fathers recent girlfriend......apparently she was beat up by this ahole, and wants the SIL to testify against the guy

Guy has paid $0 child support the past 12 years.

So, I've got no problem posting his mugshot.

The raised eyebrow adds a nice touch.
 
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 :wall:

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.
I hear stuff like this in AA all the time. She'll fit right in.
Her lawyer will suggest it to make it plausible that she can get her conditional license but if she doesn't want to be there....
First offense, in MA, the JUDGE would most likely sentence her to attending X number of meetings per week. They get a card they have to have signed off and bring back to the powers that be. Take it for what it's worth, but it's not uncommon to hear a story told in which someone didn't realize they wanted sobriety until they were sentenced to AA by the judge... it does happen, and it happens more than most people realize. But I will admit it is a huge minority that really get better that way. Still, force-feeding of the 12-step program via the courts has helped enough people that it's worth a shot, especially for first-time offenders.
Even if it is a first offense, blowing a .31 is a felony everywhere I know; just so the lawyer could start knocking it down to a misdemeanor, they would have her go. I am all for her getting into AA, by any means necessary, but rock-bottom is where the final success usually happens, I thought. she sounds like she could use a drying out period to reassess her life.
In GA not a felony.

Honestly quite often no drinking is a condition of bond. Since we only care for the kids out her, and she clearly need help, an anonymous call o her bonding agent/prosecutor should do the trick

She oughta be prosecuted for failing to contact local prosecutors to collect that. Still you sold tell his prosecutor, they can change him for that too/garnish his wages/force I'm to make payments (and often back payments in some places iirc)

I've been hippled!:dancingpickle:

 
Wheels on the bus go round and round

No word yet on the DUI, supposedly she's scheduled to head back to court next week. We've received several letters addressed to her from the state, some of which speak of an application for an "in-car breathalyzer" system.....pretty sure she's done nothing about it.

Couple new things to report.

1: She's lost her job, claims she was let go because they were slow(possible I guess)......I'm assuming she was let go because she's a drunk, lazy, pos

2: Her landlord has given her until the 1st of January to get her and her kids out of his house......I'm surprised she lasted this long

Wife feels awful for the kids, asked me what we could do to help? Shoot me now.

Some almost good news. She's now has a LINK(food-stamps) card. She's got over $4000 worth of food credits, so it's Lobster and Steaks for her kids when they are living in their car. :wall:

She's finally applying for Social Security benefits for her son(born with severe scoliosis)......something she could have been getting the last 10 years :wall:

Not only SS, but she's also getting around to applying for Welfare benefits........which is something I asked her about(actually bringing her the proper forms to fill out) when she lived with us. She of course told me she'd looked into it, but couldn't apply because she didn't have a primary residence :shuked: ...what do you call this hotel I pay for? .....She's full of ####, I'm sure she just didn't care because I was paying for everything.

So everything is pretty much back to where it all started.......I'll be :banned: :banned: :banned: :banned:all weekend.

Can't fix stupid. Too bad the kids are subject to it though.
That's the thing, she's not stupid. She's just too myopic to worry about anything other than herself.
Foolish?
Yeah, that would be a better word.She just doesn't see the bigger picture until it's too late........like kicking her out the door too late.
Do what you can to take custody of the children. They deserve a shot at a halfway normal life. She is not ruining just her life her, she is ruining theirs. :boxing: :boxing: :boxing:

Maybe she is just so used to her "looks" getting her by that she hasn't ever had to deal with any real hardships.Delusional?
