  • Holy smokes.

    I guess the support she has isn't enough for her. She needs more. She needs a cheer team following her around I guess.

    And how DARE her ILs think they're financially responsible for her family.  I mean, they ONLY pay for her to have a roof over her head, pay for daycare, etc.  That is NOT financial assistance!

  • I saw that one and clicked out. I am not in the mood to deal with those kinds of people today.

    You only have 2 choices. Either say thank you for rent and childcare or work it all out on your own.

    I agree with everything that muddled said. You should listen to her. -ESDReturns

    Geez, they don't pay for the house imoan!  Don't you get that?  The house would sit empty, so she's doign THEM a favor.  Get w/ the program...

    SHe makes me sick.  My parents offered to watch DS for us 2 days a week for free.  I trip over myself trying to show them how much we appreciate it and I'm THRILLED about the relationship DS has formed with them.

    She's a pill.

  • Saving from DD:

    imagetwokidsmom:

    So I always tend that the grass will be greener in lots of different situations.  Lately I am thinking that I want to move out of state.  Here's my story.  DH grew up in Michigan, I grew up in Ohio.  Identical weather in both places.  We now live on the farm DH grew up on in Michigan.  We are lucky to be living rent/mortgage free in an old farm house that my FIL grew up in.  It was not willed to us, but we are being permitted to live there for free but we have to pay for any upkeep/maintenance.  And there is A LOT since it is an old home.  Also, MIL and FIL live next door.  They watch our kids so that is also something that is at no charge.  BUT, that comes with downsides.  My family lives in Ohio and Pennsylvania so my inlaws are the only local family we have.  Since they watch them during the week, we dont really get the grandparents keeping them in the evenings for date nights or the occasional weekend sleepovers.   I like my in-laws, but they arent exactly vocally supportive.  We feel like we will always be treated like "kids" if we stay here because we arent truly living on our own.  They give us NO financial support, but still treat us like we arent responsible.  On the flip side my family says "good for you" or "I am so proud of you" when we get a promotion, or advance our education, etc.  My in-laws just say, "how are you going to pay for that" or "who is going to watch the kids while you are in class" in snotty tones.  DH is a pilot and works out of town for weeks at a time, so we can live anywhere in that regards.  I, however, LOVE my job and feel very safe here as in job security.  I work at a private university so I really dont think down sizing is a concern for me.  I have few friends here, even though we have lived here for almost 8 years.  I have some acquaintances, but I really dont have friend dates if you know what I mean.  My DH has a TON of friends in Florida just outside of Orlando.  They are all pilots so there is a very close comradery thing.  I have met them all on numerous occasions and I really do feel like this is exactly the kind of environment that DH and I would like to live in.  Now, the twist....my mom is moving to Florida next month.  Just 45 minutes from where we would want to live.  DH and her dont exactly get along but it would be so nice to get that "traditional" grandparent role so we can have date nights or a weekend night/day to ourselves every so often.  The rest of my family (within the next 5-7 years) will be moving southward.  I dont know if it will be Florida, maybe Georgia or the Carolina's.  BUT, eventually I will be the only one left up north.  My kids adore my in-laws and living on a farm.  That is only hard part.  I know that we cant go anywhere for the next 18 months since I am in an accelerated degree program till next July, but in the fall of 2013 I will be done with the program, DD will be going into 3rd grade and DS will be going into kindergarten, so daycare will be less of an issue....will just need an after school program.  I guess I just feel that we would really have the support system (family and friends) down there that we dont up here.

    My question is, am I really seeing all sides of this?  Am I stupid because I have it good here?

  • I feel like she's posted about this before.  The name is familiar and I have a vague sense of hate and annoyance associated with it.
  • is she the same one that started the abortion debate last week on s&r?

  • She's not living in reality.

  • Few things:

    1. IF I watched her kids all week and she decided to go back to school I think it woudl be reasonable to ask "who is going to watch the kids while you do that"

    2. Get a babysitter and go on a date. 

    3.  You live for free and get free childcare. STFU

  • I could fill a book of things that could have gone differently for dh and I if we had free childcare at any given point in our lives. We never had babysitters, we have no family at all. We raised 3 kids all alone and to think of the various freedoms this affords her and her ungrateful attitude makes me physically ill.

  • Wow. That's the only word I can manage at this time.
  • i saw this, but didn't respond.

    what i really want to know is how they are living rent free and childcare free and still can't afford to move out? they should be rolling in the dough right now! 

     

  • Anytime someone says they want to move to Orlando, I automatically assume they've never seen the place outside of Disney or Hogwarts.  And thus, they deserve to live there.

    This is my siggy.

    She's been asked that a bunch of times and has yet to answer.  

    It's like my coworker who lives with mom and dad, they pretty much pay ALL of her bills... and she's always complaining about how she's so broke. I can't imagine how much money I would have if my entire salary was pretty much "fun money"

  • Yup the reason she looks familiar is because she is the same one that stirred up s&r last week and gp prior to that

    Which begs the question - how did Grandpa Billy manage to build the house, maintain the house, and maintain the land?

  • She made my left eye all twitchy-I had to just leave the post.
  • Holy crap I clicked your link like an hour and a half ago. It's like I fell into a black hole of douchebaggery and only just managed to crawl my way out.

    btw, smart move Betty.

  • BettyBookWorm - Is this one of the Oct11 girls?

    6 pages of her stupidity just gave me a hankering thirst for alcohol.

  • I feel like this whole thing could be easily solved by (a) growing a pair and (b) hiring a babysitter.

    Now - I know I dont have kids, but is it that bad to hire a babysitter? My mom always had a sitter watch us when she wanted an adult evening. I also babysat lots of kids. What's the deal?

  • I wish I had such kind and considerate in-laws as she did.  The one time we asked to borrow a small amount of money from them, they made us sign a written contract and charged us interest of 3%!

    They do NOT pay for the roof over our head, and they are the ones that WANTED to watch our kids.

    I do get sitters to go on a date, and I do have a sitter when I am in class!  I never even once asked them to watch them so I can go back to school!

    I didnt say Orlando.  I said outside of Orlando.  And I have been there many many times.  It is about an hour southwest of it.  SO dont assume that I just want to move to orlando just because it is orlando!
