Pregnant after a Loss

Oh moving and SIL woes...really long vent...

So moving first, Jackson is due Sept 26, lease is up Oct 1st.  Grrrr. Anyway my parents have decided to buy a house near them for us to rent from them (they are our child care). Anywho, we've been going back and forth about houses. My parents never get in a hurry to do anything. So I've been under the impression that this isn't really gonna happen before the baby is born and we'll just humor them and find something else near them. So last night while looking at houses, Mom tells me that if they don't find anything in time we'll just need to put our stuff in storage and move in with them until we get it figured out. Pros: No rent, not having to drive the baby to daycare and interrupt a routine. Cons: Moving myself, DH and baby into parents house as well as 2 dogs (added to their 2 dogs) and 1 cat (added to their 4-5 outside cats), living with my Dad (never a good idea when it was just me, with DH will be a real bad idea). Told DH about Mom's plan and he immediately started shaking his head and let out an exasperated sigh. Plus we're both concerned that this will be a way to keep from getting in any hurry to buy a house, plus a way to stay in our business financially. Because if we don't have any bills besides our phones, car, insurance, and gas, then we should be getting our debt paid off. By my calculations that should be about 3000 a month going towards debt payments. Think together DH and I owe about 40k. So we could have it paid off in a year. But I don't really want parents to know that much and get to lecture us about debt constantly. But at the same time it could be the best thing for us if we can just bite the bullet and do it! Lots to consider there.

Next we've got my SIL, who I learned quite a bit about over this past few days from FIL who was visiting. This is my DH's brothers wife, she was apparently in jail for about 11 months for writing checks on someone elses account several years ago. She is all about attention and drama. She has lied about the circumstances surrounding her not having custody of her oldest son. And my dumba$$ BIL (who wanted to be a police officer at one time and is now a volunteer firefighter) married her, had a kid with her, and acts like everything is great and wonderful. She is the most untrustworthy person ever and she sends me messages all the time about how she can't wait for us to start sending Jackson to NC (we decided when he is much older we'll send him to NC for a month or so each summer to spend with my inlaws) so he can spend the night with them and his cousins. She is never allowed to keep my son at anytime and inlaws know this. That includes when my BIL is present, because I don't trust his judgement if this is the woman he picks out. Add to that, last night she posts that BIL got called out to a fire and how hard it is being a firefighters wife and blah blah blah AW AW AW! So I'm having a real hard time not responding back that A) She has been a firefighters wife for 2 years...try being a firefighters granddaughter for 10 years (before he finally retired!) or a police officers daughter for 23 years, or a dispatcher responsible for doing all you can to make sure they go home to their wives and kids for the past 6 years, and I'm not posting everytime my dad gets called to something bad or my officers start working something dangerous! B) I know my BIL and he is the only volunteer fireman that would run code at about 30 mph to not be the first onscene...he's a giant pu$$y. Sorry I'm so tired of her AW crap!

  • WOW that's a lot going on. Um.... I don't think I could live with my parents again, but if it meant paying off my debt then I would do it on a trial basis. You can always look for a new place while staying there and you can look now too right? If I had to stay at MIL's house, F that!!! No way would I do that. 

    As for your SIL, UGH is all I have to say. No way would my baby be staying over night or even have an unsupervised visit with her or BIL.

    Oddly enough I think DH and I both would rather stay at my IL's house! They are older and a little more respectful of us as adults. Actually my FIL was telling us that he still has a townhome in Charlotte, NC near them that we could have cheap just say the word, but we wouldn't get anywhere near the pay there that we do here. But that is a huge possibility once I'm done with nursing school and I'm getting paid more.
