Ok, I haven’t been writing because, well, I suck and life as a photographer is INSANE during holiday card season (october-december). Now life is getting back to semi-normal.
Let me start by saying, MY family, as in my parents, are amazing. They worked their asses off for what they have, they always help us with babysitting and they basically gave us a house, we pay the mortgage and all the utilities and that helps them not have to pay it out of what they have to retire on and they travel in their giant RV. My mom is DEFINITELY getting cooky in her old age, dementia runs in her family so she’s definitely getting hard to be around for long periods of time cause I have 3, almost 4 kids, run my own business, and I just don’t have the patience to listen to the same stuff over and over again, by the 5th time I’m like ok time for you to go. But my dad’s awesome, although he’s a little controlling about us blowing money, I’d rather have it that way.
Then we have my inlaws. O M G!
My father in law, is on work comp, disabled for life (but sorry, he MADE himself way worse than he should have ever been), he had rotator cuff issues from driving a gas truck something with the hoses, but to lose weight he’d drug himself to just pass out so he took so many pills, he has an addiction, he ruined his stomach, so he’s had multiple stomach surgeries and intestine removed. Between the pills and the absolutely horrible fast food diet, and then he has mental problems… ugh. he’s a wreck.
Add in my mother in law who used to be a care taker, was taken to jail because she was stealing money from the old man she took care of. She’s shady as shit. Her kids don’t see it but I’ve seen it. She has to borrow money from her 86 year old mother and her daughter to float checks because she blows so much money and then has checks out that will bounce.
Then my sister in laws. One isn’t bad, she’s completely not motivated to do anything with her life which drives me nuts. And she totally doesn’t realize what dirt balls her parents are, she’s in denial.
My youngest sister in law… ugh… She got knocked up at 17, by a mexican kid that’s 16 (and of course his parents are a wreck, on welfare and section 8, and total moochers), she wouldn’t give the baby up for adoption like we suggested, so she has a 1.5 year old now that she does NOT take care of. like the baby gets sick and has to go to the hospital all the time. She was hospitalized for a urinary tract infection because she never changes her diapers. She got a rash so bad it took over her body to the point that her EARS were raw and had puss coming out of the skin. The baby daddy graduated, got a job, has a car, he’s surprisingly the only one that has his crap together. He wants to be a cop. My sister in law on the other hand, she was in Juvenille hall (kid jail) twice before she got pregnant, still hasn’t graduated (she’s now 20) high school, has no license, no car, no job. And now, guess what, she’s so completely dumb, SHE’S PREGNANT AGAIN! We found out last week in the midst of all kinds of family drama.
So basically, my husbands dad was going to give away this old bronco he had, my husband said, he’d take it and fix it. So he did. Then after he gets it running, puts new wheels, tires, suspension, makes it amazing. His dad wants it back. HA HA HA! No way! We put a ton of money in it! like $3,000!!! they borrow it to move and leave my husband stranded at work for 2 hours after their store is closed, all 3 of them wont answer their phones. they had his store keys (he’s management) so he couldn’t lock the store. It was a mess. Just how disrespectful they are. I load up all 3 kids in the rain and go to get him, I’m 5 minutes away and he calls cause his mom is finally on the way with his truck. uuuuuuuuuuuugh! I turn around and head home.
Then, we go to dinner with my husbands Uncle Ray (his dads brother), his dad flips out (his dad doesn’t talk to his brothers cause he’s such an asshole to them, they stopped talking to him). So we go to dinner, totally click and reconnect after like 3 years, plan a trip with him. It’s great. His dad flips out and says we went behind his back (the whole dinner was planned on facebook, not behind ANYONE’s back), and I mentioned the trip on facebook (again not behind anyones back). His dad says he’s going to report the bronco my husbands driving STOLEN. He calls my husbands BOSS and says “Jared is driving a stolen bronco with unpaid for parts on it, you might want to take the parts off before the cops take it.” (the parts are on my husbands work account so they take the money out of his paycheck, so they aren’t “not paid for” they get paid for gradually like $400 per paycheck). What dad would do that to his sons WORK, especially when he has 3 kids and one on the way.
THEN, way back like 6 years ago his dad co-signed for a car for him, this was before we were married, we’d been together like a year. Well, he’s tried to sell the car a ton of times and no one wants it. He owed $3400 on the car. Well, my husband sold it to his friend, they were making the payments on it, til they hit a deer and totaled it and had no insurance. They’d given us a check from hitting us a construction cone, the construction company paid for the cone damage. It was $1200. In his dads name cause that’s who the car is registered in. We gave his mom the check for the $1200 since it was in his dads name and she was supposed to pay it on the car (we usually paid the payments directly to the finance company ourselves). Well, that was in November, we figured that would pay off a big chunk of the car and then we were going to either part it out or try and put it up for what was left owed for sale. WELLLLLL… last week my phone goes crazy, it’s an “investigator” looking for my husband. Turns out my husbands dad decided to report it STOLEN! Because his mom never told him about the check, she cashed the damn check and SPENT IT and never paid it on the car.
all hell broke loose. She tried to deny not paying it but we asked the investigator when the last payment was made and how much and she hadn’t paid it. His dad started flipping out on him. I finally said, I know you love your mom, but she’s shady as shit. She is a theif. She stole money from an old man, you have to realize, what would keep her from taking money she had instant access too. I could tell by the look on her face when she got the check in her hand she was going to spend it. I told my husband two weeks ago before the drama broke out that I didn’t think she paid it because we weren’t getting statements for the car anymore and when I called to try and check the payment everything had been changed so I couldn’t get in. Jared told his dad the truth, that his mom had blown the money and not paid it and he wasn’t paying since she blew the money.
uuuuuuuuugh!
And his sister, the normal one, not the knocked up one… She tried to cover for her mom at dinner at our house saturday. She said “Well it’s probably my fault cause she asked me for the account number and I never gave it to her” (they bought his sister the same car at the same time and the loans were through the same finance company). WHAT, are you kidding me? It would have taken her 2 seconds to text me and ask me for it, since it was OUR responsibility, we paid the payment, why would his sister have the account number? And 3 months later, she have never once asked me for any information. Annnnd just cause you don’t have the number, doesn’t mean you just blow the damn money. Are you stupid? really?
And now, they want to sue our friends that bought the car. Oh fabulous, I’m sure my baby shower will be super fun when they all see each other. Thank you crazy effing inlaws!
ok, end rant!
