FIL does it again!

He texted DH last night saying he quit his job, because he's too worn out. He's had this job a few months, after being unemployed almost two years because he quit the job he had prior to this because he hated his female boss. We've lent him money since then, because he's gone through his entire life savings and retirement while unemployed. We've also had him over for every major holiday, while other family members have gone without seeing us. This is because DH feels very bad because he is alone. There are many, many reasons why he is alone that I won't get into. None of which garner a large amount of pity from me.
Anywho, he told DH last night to please come over to his house an hour away and jump his jeep. And by the way, would he mind leaving the wife and kid at home? Now, I don't have any desire to go to his house, it's the seventh circle of hell in regards to baby safety and cleanliness. But DH has worked every weekend for the past 3 weeks, and works nights, so we don't see him. He only sees DS awake if he wakes in the MOTN. DH told me he is very worried about him, and felt compelled to check on him. So I smiled politely and said have a nice time, but do not give him any more money. He is choosing to not work, and it's not our job to support him because he can't be CEO of Apple like he thinks he should. We aren't even in a position to do that anymore, anyway. And he hasn't paid back any of the money he was lended earlier. I really think he takes advantage of my husband's sensitivities, because his other two children don't speak to him, and my DH feels badly for him. So help me God, if he comes home and tells me that he gave him any money or that he thinks he should move in with us...I'm gonna look like this....

Re: FIL does it again!
I'm sorry your FIL is causing so many issues. It's sweet your DH takes care of him but I would be super frustrated too.
Hugs friend. >:D<
Agreed. It isn't your responsibility to fix his finances!
