Come sympathize with me...Ever had move-ins to your home???

[Garnet FalconDance]

OMG, Larry, can I empathize! First of the year, a buddy of ours split from his wife (total bitch), needed a place to stay. No prob, we told him. Couple weeks later, his 'girl friend' was visiting (loonnnnngggggg story, but g/f was unrelated to the breakup), she lived a block away, so hubby (curse his moronic sweet little heart sometimes) said it would be ok if every once in a while she could spend the night. In a week, she'd moved her stuff in without so much as a "can I", "would you mind", or anything! I mean overnight!

She worked as an in-home companion/nurse less than two blocks away and refused to walk to work, even to the point of making friend late to work himself to take her. One day she'd tell him she was madly in love w/him, the next that she couldn't stand him and she was a confirmed lesbian (and she is). Up and down.

Meanwhile, we found out I was pregnant. I ended up miscarrying and she was so insensitive that she would try to force me to watch "A Baby Story" on cable and would turn it up loudly so I couldn't even escape into another room. She never once lifted a finger to help around the house, even when I was on bedrest (to hopefully prevent the loss) or cook or anything then acted all bewildered when anyone said anything. Our son moved out of his bedroom to share his sister's room so they could have privacy (and get out of the computer room ) That room stank when they finally left.

Now this was only to be for a month or so. After the miscarriage and her subsequent behaviour, I told hubby they were to be out within the month or I'd personally put all their shit outside, regardless of the weather. He and I had spoken on this several times (and he's very easy going compared to me) and he was at the end of his rope, as well. By the time they left, it had been three months! And they still owe us 'rent'!

To top it all off, neither of them have a clue how much turmoil they (she mostly) caused! His daughter needed a place to stay with her boyfriend so went to them. They kicked them out after 3 *days*!!! Said they couldn't handle other people infringing upon their lives. DUH

Sorry to add to the rant. Guess I'm not 'over it' yet

You need a shoulder or set of ears, I'm here for ya, buddy!!!

I know the feeling, my brother-in-law (he's 17) almost came to live here with his part-time 7 months old daughter. We would have taugh him the responsibilities of being an adult but most of all a parent. Turned out he didn't come 'cause he knew that I would have accepted no pityfull excuses for him not taking his responsibilities. None the less, I still move my computer from the third bedroom to the living room, that way, I can write to you guys when my wife watches a Baby story, A living story, A dating story, A break-up story, A get-back-togheter story, A buying-your-new-house-story, A personnal story, A fertility story, A Widow's story and finally a Death story. I turn around to watch Junkyard Wars though

BTW: you really should draw the line at "chocolate" and keeping the toilet seat UP!

Wow...I think your stories are scaring me!
But really, thanks for replying to this thread.
Let me tell you what my wife said about her older sister. She claims to be a candelic, or some crap like that...meaning that certain foods can cause her to become chronically depressed. Karen told me that her sister is on a certain food diet. Yet, she has never been medically diagnosed for it. She just thinks that she has this problem.
What does that mean to me?
For the next week...I have to eat whatever Barbara...my sis-in-law asks us to fix.

damn x 1,000,000,000

Um.... NO, YOU DON'T I thought you said, she has an (un-diagnosed) eating disorder. She needs to order out, or eat what your family eats. It's not your fault or problem, she needs to find the solution. Just a guess, her solution is not making you adjust any more than you have to.

Can anyone say bull s**t? She *claims* to be suffering from some undiagnosed ailment. Furthermore, if she eats certain foods whilst suffering from this mysterious ailment, she becomes chronically depressed--yet another undiagnosed medical ailment (at least *this* one is an actual illness!)

Now, I'm no expert, but it seems to me that if she is staying in *your* house, occupying *your* space, running up *your* electricity, etc. then it naturally follows that she eat whatever *you* eat! Until a respected MD puts it on a little piece of paper that she suffers from this rare and truly awful malady and simply *must* have a special diet or else she is doomed, then.........

Of course, I might be wrong. I'm only wrong twice a year and still havve once to go...

Well I'm a "Move in" on a buddy of mine and have been for several years. He needs the $, I need a place to stay and its worked out ok. I get to live in a decent house in a decent neighborhood, he gets rent money the taxman never hears about and we split the bills. We do get the occasional "homeless" friend for a week or two until they get a new place to stay. The rules are fairly simple- Dont rock the boat, do the dishes like anyone else, take your turn to cook a meal, etc. Its not hard to be courteous, some just make it hard on themselves. Ummm Larry what does your sister-in-law look like heehee theres room in my room [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Sounds like she has self-diagnosed and self-treated herself all in one step. That's usually a sign that she read a book on psuedo-medicine or took a line from an herbal-pharmacist. Hopefully she's not spending untold amounts on herbal treatments too. (I know someone who does this and it always makes me cringe) It's funny how most "cure" diets are simply nothing more than the same healthy balanced diet that doctors and the FDA have been pushing for years. They just put some subtle twists on the wording.
