I just got into an argument today (well, not really an argument, maybe a strong disagreement) with the inlaws that lived with us. BIL quit his real job to work 'construction' (which is his fancy word for unemployeed, like the last 4 years) as soon as they moved into that new place. SIL's collecting unemployment, gets $550 in foodstamps a month and gets medical assistance for all of them. Her father is also living there, so he has unemployment and disability since he weighs 700lbs easy. I don't even know how he walks to be honest.
Right. So we asked BIL to walk 4 blocks from his house to check the times on the tire shop since we needed to have snow tires put on (the owners a bus driver, so he leaves for an hour here or there during the day for school routes, then comes back). He couldn't be bothered because he was tired and went back to bed at 1pm.
These are the morons we do ANYTHING for btw. Feed their kids, give them a place to stay, give them money when they need it... but gahhhhh if you need something in return, forget it.
I said to SIL at the end of the disagreement, "How the **** don't you get disgusted with him that he has absolutely no desire to work or support his family? He sleeps ALL day and it's not even because he cleaned or cooked or watched your kids, since we all know he can't be bothered with anything but his xbox." She says "well we don't live in the 50s anymore, that's closed minded. I pay all our bills." ...
Ummm no. The govt does, you haven't had a job in over a year sweetie. And BIL has no intentions of finding another job, nor does she. I think it's ridiculous they live off the system because they're so f***ing lazy. Instead of either of them getting a job, they applied for foodstamps and whine that $550 can't feed them for TWO WEEKS?! It makes my skin crawl.
UGH! There are people who REALLY need it out there!! Not these %@$#@! I feel so bad for their children and I think it's sad that BIL is almost 30 and his baby brother has to bail him out of everything. Including things for his own darn children....
Btw, I did apologize to SIL after this disagreement. I said, "It was rude of me, I'm sorry. Forget I said anything. I'm only expressing my opinion."
She replied, "Yeah, it's cool. It's not like we take your guys' advice anyways."
No wonder you can't keep a house, car or cell phone for longer than 3 months then....
