Can someone help me please??!!!
Tell me something, am I the only one in the whole wide world with LAZY in-laws? Check this out: I’ve been around this dude almost three years and he ain’t gone to work yet. E-v-e-r-y day I have to go to work and when I come home, I find this lazy bro with his funky feet on my sofa, eating up all my food, burning up my electricity, and watching my flat-screen T.V. Then this joker had the nerve to open his mouth and tell me to give him money so he can pay his phone bill.
My first instinct was to drop kick him in his freakin’ chest and drag his punk trifling self out the door straight to the dump with all his country-fied clothes he came to my crib with. Now may I remind you, that when he called me three years ago he said to me, “cuz I’m coming to Florida to visit Grandma and they don’t have enough room for me. Can I stay with you for a couple of weeks?”
What was I thinking? This la-zee, jobless, don’t work, won’t work country bumpkin hasn’t left my bachelor pad yet.
Can someone out there help a brother out and tell me what to do?

Is there a reason why you dont day anything. You have to right to request that he get a job or get moving? Why the hesitation?
ReplyDeleteI can relate a little. Maybe you haven't said anything because sometimes it's hard to show tough love towards family. Cause really you do it cause you're thinking about auntie and grandma and maybe your sister, not so much for your lazy in-law. And we just tolerate it even though it may not be emotionally or financially healthy for everyone involved.
ReplyDeletePRay. Pray alot! I heard something the other day i think will help. "People don't change when they see the light, they change when they feel the pain." Tough love is just that. Tough! 3 years, it's been more than just something nice you did. Good Luck. GB!!
ReplyDeletejust pray brother and pray some more..... be patient with him and continue to love on him.
ReplyDeleteYou need to stop being a pushover and just handle your business. You must don't really mind since you'r eputting up with it.
ReplyDeleteOh, Come on! You all know that there as some family issues that we have to put up with and others that we just have to speak on and take action.
ReplyDeleteCould it be that families are becoming more disfunctional due to the fact that people are not speaking up?
man sometime you got to act tough with anyone even it comes to a family member because that person might know what the hell he doing. he tryin to use you, he grown enough make him work don't let him do you like that.

I understand. Tough love is the key. It may seem that you are helping him, because he is broke down, jobless, homeless, but tough love is setting limits, and deadlines that he must meet in order to stay in your house and ensure that he is progressively moving toward getting out of it. First thing to do is set a date for him to have a job by and start garnishing the wages. It is time to be the real deal.
