My FIL is making me crazy..
So quick run down, my husband works out of town mostly—he works construction. When we found out we were expecting our daughter, we were living in his home. My father in law works construction too— so he was technically not living at home. It just made sense for me to keep living there after having my baby to keep an eye on the house, dogs and save some money.
Well he is working back in town, and lately we have seriously been considering moving out. He hardly ever cleans, rarely cooks, leaves his laundry in baskets in the family room until someone else in the house decides to fold it and put in his room—because putting it at the bottom of the stairs is ineffective too. There’s definitely an extended list of things that add up to the frustration, but what really tipped me over was him sending video messages of him cleaning and sarcastically thanking my husband at the end of them. He tells his other kids that he is “starving” when in actuality, he mostly goes to shower and then falls asleep. Also due to circumstances I won’t state—we are now paying 100% of the house bills (& about 60% of the mortgage) so we aren’t saving anymore. I don’t want to move out on a bad note, but I’m really thinking that would be the smartest move for my family. Anyone else experience this or something similar? Any suggestions on what you did to improve it.
