Husband's mom is bad influence
My husband's mom moved back to our state and 15 minutes from us in December. His family has...issues. One of his sisters (who is 32 years old) is in jail as we speak and has been since last week for drug trafficking charges. His other sister, who lost custody of her 8 year old daughter for reasons I won't go into on here, has a thing for prison inmates. None of his sisters have been married or had an SO in the picture when they had babies. We're the first in their family. His mother didn't raise him, was a drug addict, and in and out of jail when he was growing up.
His family has always struggled financially and lack what I call, and this is putting it kindly, common sense. They choose buying what they want over paying bills on time--or disregard them entirely. They have no problem just signing up for welfare instead of working hard and putting money towards groceries or other necessities. They think the government owes them, basically. And all of them have lack of respect for those in authority positions.
My husband and I are the top earners in his family. We aren't rich, but we are middle class. His attitude had changed and he was becoming very responsible--paying bills on time and building his credit back up. Ever since his mother moved back, he has become completely lazy around the house, his attitude sucks and he has been slacking on paying bills. When I found out some bills hadn't been paid, I snapped. He told me he can't do everything--mind you, I'm the one who cooks, cleans, grocery shops, etc and it was my fault for not checking behind him.
I'm 16 weeks pregnant and just want my old husband back. I worry about his family influencing our child and the way his attitude has changed. I feel crowded by this woman because she calls him several times a day to fill him in on family drama and comes to our house at least once a week. Advice??
