Can I vent for a second? (Long)
So, to put all my ish out there, I live with my in-laws. Its not something I talk about (a few people on here knew, but not many) as its not something I'm particularly proud of and I don't want to whine or complain about it all the time, but what can you do, it is what it is. So living with my in-laws is not just MIL and FIL, which I could actually handle, there's also 2 BILs and 1 SIL. That's where the real fun starts. The house is very big, but there are only 2 bathrooms, one being in ILs room. So I share a bathroom with DH, DS, 2 BILs, and SIL.
My SIL is one of the worst people I know. She is self-centered, bratty, arrogant, and dumb, which makes the rest even worse. She is "hot" in a fake way (think Pamela Anderson) and has made her entire life centered around that fact. She is a talented dancer, but never really did anything with it and has spent the last 10 or so years dancing in bars (not strip, think Shepherd's). She thinks she's queen of the world though and that everything revolves around her. Unfortunately ILs have done nothing to stop her thought process on that one.
Last week DH, DS, and I were gone, staying at his cousin's house taking care of their kids while they were in Russia. When we got back SIL had put a big, dirty fake plant in the bathroom and a candle warmer thingy. Now I admit, I did unplug the thing once or twice, but mostly left it alone, even though those things are dangerous. Yesterday I get home from work with DS and she has duct taped a note to the mirror Stop unplugging the candle warmer and underneath that in lipstick it says "Stop touching T's things or I will have to take action". I don't live in a world of empty threats or moronity, so I pulled the note down (awesome, duct tape on glass, that doesn't leave a mark) and cleaned the lipstick off the mirror. I didn't touch her precious candle warmer.
Today I went out with DS and when I came home, the bathroom was completely trashed. Shower curtain and rod on the floor, all bottles and things from the shower strewn all around (including hers, remember I said she was dumb) and in lipstick again "Stop unplugging the candle warmer". Seriously, she trashed the bathroom over a candle warmer. So I called MIL to tell her what had happened and was instructed not to do anything so FIL could see (for some reason he doesn't believe half the crap she does). So he came home and "dealt" with it, which involved him cleaning it up. Awesome. Oh, and I'm pretty sure they took her out to dinner with them tonight.
She is seriously the one person in the world that if I NEVER see again, that's too soon. I really don't like saying it, and I wish no ill will on her or anything, but I don't need that toxicity in my life, and my beautiful 3 year old doesn't either. This incident is one of many things she has done, usually completely unprovoked.
Oh, and the best part...she's 40.

O.M.G. Any chance of her leaving soon?
My silly Lily is almost 4.
No K8, its any chance of us leaving soon!! Seriously, DH's business is going really well now (we went through a time when he hardly worked right after I had Q, which is why we're here), so hopefully we can move soon. Plus I'm working now too, which will help. I highly doubt she will ever leave, she doesn't have a real job, has no plans on getting one, and claims she's going to marry rich. Ha! I don't think you're going to meet guys with real $$ shaking your butt at some cheesy club in St. Pete.
But really, there is a big part of me that just feels sorry for her. Oh, and to whomever asked about what DH thinks, he just laughs. Not that he thinks its funny, but he's been putting up with her since he was born, so I have to give him at least a little leeway on that one.
Ha, nice to know you thought she was older. She seriously believes people think she's the age she has on her Facebook, which I think is 28 or something.
I hope you'll get out soon, then. I think you're right about the toxicity thing -- that's just not good for anyone to be around, much less Quinn. How the F do you explain to a child when an adult behaves like that and trashes the house?
My silly Lily is almost 4.
I'm so sorry, Kim that just sounds like a terrible, awkward living situation.
And your SIL needs a reality check. Rich men don't want 40 year old women with zero ambition when there are plenty of equally hot women half their age that are intelligent and looking to do something with their lives.

Ugh, she sounds like a real peach. It's never easy living with other people, especially when they are a-holes like her.
Hopefully she gets an attitude adjustment soon or maybe evens decides to move out. For everyone's sake.
