WTF!?!

OK I know it is weekend and no one is here but I really need to vent a bit. I don't know how much of this I had talked about but FIL has not been talking to DH or myself for a little over a year now. This is because they had a cell on our plan and gave it to BIL (who was 13 when they gave it to him about 2 years ago) and BIL was running up charges but then mil/fil were not paying the bill and wouldn't let us block his access to the "extras" so because they were not paying and he was being pretty inconsiderate we ended up not renewing their plan when it came time for that in Feb of 09.

Since then FIL has not spoken to us and pretends to not see us when we bump in to him at the store, ect. A while back he wrote DH a note telling him that because we cancelled his cell phone we were telling him that we didn't want him to be part of our "friends and family" and if that is how we wanted it that he would not talk to us anymore. It basically went on to say that when we add him back to our cell phone plan he would start talking to us again.

In the note he also complained because WE were causing HIM a financial burden because they now had to get their own cell plan which is more expensive than the add a line through the friends and family and fil just lost his job so we were supposed to feel bad about this

They did end up getting a new cell plan and the cell is still BIL's and not theirs but they are paying the bill on it because he's only 15 and doesn't have a job.

Well today I noticed that BILs facebook post says "via Facebook for iPhone"! I went back and looked at his page and there are several posts of the last few weeks from iPhone!!  If they are SO strapped for money how the eff can they afford to pay for an iPhone for him?!? And if he has an iPhone, why in the world would he need to be added back on to our plan... it's not like those come prepaid and they could just cancel it after a few weeks...

I don't really know why this made me so angry, I am just fed up with how immature fil is being with the whole situation. I would like to say that he will be sorry for missing seeing his first grandchild but he didn't raise DH from the time he was 3 months til he was 16 so I guess he probably doesn't care too much.

Re: WTF!?!

  • Oh, that would have made me insanely angry as well.  First off, if he wasn't paying you for the bill, then you had every right to cancel that line.  I think you were being too kind in not blocking features that BIL was overusing.  Then for his dad to whine about not having money and turn around and get your BIL an iphone????  I would almost want to blame pregnancy hormones and go off big time.

  • That's really dumb that he's not talking to you over a cell phone plan for a 15 year old. 9.99 a month is no big deal but I wouldn't pay for it either if he was running up the bill with ring tones and games.


  • Wow, I can't believe that an adult parent would act that way!! Sorry you have to deal w/ that crap.  When you post on FB from an IPOD it says Iphone, so maybe he doesn't actually have an IPHONE.. But I would still be annoyed w/ that whole situation, that is just very immature.  Cell Phone bills are expensive which should make him realize why you didn't want the burden of taking on another huge bill!

  • That's ridiculous of your FIL. Who doesn't talk to their son over a cell phone bill. ugh that is horrible. Sounds like your husband might be better off without somebody like that in his life though.
