Unexpected Roommates (1 Viewer)

Wrigley you seem like a good guy so i hope i am wrong but, this is going to end up in a disaster.... Bookmark because i think this will end up being a long thread. Frequent updates would be appreciated.
and please note the post # of the updates. I love when people do this. makes it so much easier
 
Just a couple updates

Kids/SIL have been staying at "Hotel Wrigley" on average, about 3 nights a week......we never know when they will be home.

SIL is a total slob. Not only do we have to pick up after her kids, we have to pick up after her too. PUT A DISH IN THE DISHWASHER!!!

She uses our garage as a friggen ashtray. Sits on the step in the garage and ashes directly onto the garage floor, with an ashtray sitting next to her.

Kids didn't attend school the first week because she had yet to register them. They now get to attend school for free(free registration, hot lunch, and out of district transportation) because she doesn't have a permanent address

She's upset with me because I don't want to meet her new "friend" Guy lives in his camper because he's going through a divorce himself.

I usually don't drink during the week, so we no longer keep beer in the house.....not that we could, it would all be gone the next day if we did(her drink of choice) So she's started hitting our liquor cabinet. Bottles that were 3-4 full last week are mysteriously close to empty now. She, of course, claims to not be the culprit.

Wife has spoken to her, but I don't think she hears a thing she says.

Wife and I are quickly getting fed up.

Other than that, our twins are fabulous. If it comes down to my wife's sister and my family, it will be an easy decision.

No way she'd be in my house any longer. Kids I can see to an extent. But there's no way in hell I'd pick up after her.

Start hiding liquor ASAP.
 
Well this is just going south fast.

While looking through my liqueur cabinet last night, I was shocked to find about 10 bottles of booze with less than and eighth of a bottle left. By itself it's not that big a thing. But I'm 100% sure that these bottles were all close to full just a few weeks ago. We've asked the SIL about the missing booze, and she just plays dumb. Seems pretty common.

Our next door neighbor works as a regional HR manager for Toys-R-Us. She's went out of her way to offer my SIL a job, but the SIL thinks the job would be beneath her. Granted, it's a warehouse job(no skills needed), but SHE HAS NO JOB AND NO MONEY. . She doesn't think that an $11 an hour job would be worth her time...WTF?

Her unemployment has run out, and she does nothing but sponge off us

Lastly, my wife recently asked her to please try and clean up after herself and her kids. Her response floored us......I don't pick up after my kids, that's their job!!! We're lucky we don't have any firearms in the house, because I'm sure my wife would have shot her right there.

We've now given her an ultimatum.....She can live with us as long as she needs too, as long as she gets a job(ANY JOB) by the end of October. She must also pick up after herself and her kids, and help with the costs of feeding our now giant family.

She really has no clue. Her own mother is ready to call DCFS on her.

I'm just ready to tell her to get the #### out.

 
Sorry good buddy, this is not going to end well. Any chance the MIL will step up and help out....sounds like the SIL does not care if she loses her kids or not....This is very sad, you are a very good person for trying.

 
In situations like this, the biggest mistake is even allowing them into your home in the first place. This puts YOU in the position of being the bad guy by kicking her and her kids out with no money, no home. You already know this, I'm just restating the obvious.

This woman is a true POS.

 
How long is your wife willing to tolerate this BS? Seems to me that you're already at the end of your rope.
It's going to end soon.MIL is serious about calling DCFS. Apparently the Grand Parents are offered custody of the kids.......she would take them in a heartbeat

Seriously, hide all valuables that can be pawned/sold. Once that booze runs out she's gonna find the money from somewhere to get more. Which probably means from your wife's jewelry box.

I couldn't agree more. I would even consider setting up some kind of hidden camera near said jewelry box. Or buy a safe.You, sir, are a saint for putting up with this b.s. I am willing to wager she won't make it to the end of October in your home.(More pics still welcome, of course.)
 
Hang in there man, thankfully your wife is on your side on this problem, and not sitting there saying, "well, I see here point, $11 is a bit low", or "I would want my kids to pick up after themselves as well"

This woman is going down fast and taking everyone in her path with her.

Do your best to get out of her path.

The wife is definitely on board......SIL just doesn't get whats she's doing to herself, or her kids

She apparently needs to get that alcohol problem cleaned up. My guess is not much will change until she does.

This is your way out. Have her go live with this guy.
I'm pretty sure the guy doesn't own a 3000sq foot camper.......although I'd never know, as I don't care to meet the guy

I'll see what I can do about more pictures.
Update? :popcorn: On a serious note, I really hope you and your wife/kids don't get dragged down by her. She sounds like she is full speed into a :tfp:

 
1: #### YES, I've suggested that.......I think it sound's like work to her, so it's out.
Have you suggested she become a dancer? Free booze, attention, money, music. What's not to like?
 
Get her on Intervention. She's good looking enough and the story is f'd up enough that they might go for it.

 
With all of the drinking is she starting to gain weight? We need updated pics not from the same wedding. TIA.

 
Have you hidden the liquor yet? When she goes to get her fix and sees that it's gone she might get a clue that you're getting sick of her crap.

But she probably won't care.

Sorry about that, but the wedding pics are the only ones available on this computer. I'll check the home computerShe smokes like a chimney, and doesn't eat.......so no weight gain.She weights 88 pounds soaking wet

Be aware DCFS doesn't ask questions, they just take the kids. If DCFS comes to your house, there is a chance they will take all the kids in the house, not just hers. I've heard stories of DCFS goign to the wrong house by accident and taking the kids. Kids didn't get returned for 45 days(even though it was their fault).
