Sorry, can't wait till Tuesday (SIL drama)
AmberLiz99

normally I would reserve my venting to the Tuesday thread, but SIL is just ticking me off too much this week!
So so she has 2 part time jobs now, one she can get to by metro and one she has to drive to, but she still has made no effort to get a car so she's using my husbands to drive to BOTH jobs (he has been biking to work or the kids and I drive him if the weather is bad). She's started calling it "my car" and she complains constantly about it being old and having "issues". It's a 99, so yah it's old and the heat isn't great, but it's a reliable car that's been taken care of. Plus, guess what, we don't have to let you use it! Shut up with the complaints!
Next ,she is supposed to be applying to FT jobs, but she complains that she's "too tired from working two jobs". They are both part time, not even really professional jobs. She doesn't go to work till 10am, and she has all day Saturday and Sunday off. she only applies for one job at a time, waits till she gets an interview, and then tells us she's "busy studying for the interview" so she can't do anything else. She had an interview at 11am on Wednesday that she's been "preparing" for for a week, took off the night before and BOTH jobs on Wednesday (she's only been there two weeks) and when she got home said she turned it down because she never really wanted it. Dh asked her to pick him up from work since it was super windy, but she was "too tired" and went and took a 4.5 hour nap instead.
she only cooks eggs and turkey bacon, thinks it's weird that I don't cook her breakfast every day, complains about what I cook for dinner, and talks endlessly about missing her moms cooking. She got a few groceries, but she tries to look healthy by getting healthy stuff that she never eats and it goes bad in my fridge while she mostly eats the food I purchase. My grocery bill has gone up significantly.
dh and I have just about had it. He's tried talking to her bluntly, but she just either doesn't get it or doesn't care. She's been here 5 weeks! If things don't improve in the next couple weeks dh is going to give her an "eviction date" for lack of a better word.
This week I have been avoiding being home when she is, but the weekend is coming and she will be a lump in my living room again and following us around for two days.
If if you read this whole long rant you deserve some chocolate
thanks for for being the sounding board for a grumpy fed up pregnant lady!

Kick her whiny, childish ass OUT ASAP. If she whines "but I don't have anywhere else to gooooo!!" Tell her she can move back to mama's since she misses her cooking so much.
Seriously, you're a saint for dealing with her this long and not knocking her senseless with your frying pan.

Gross! Get her outta there! And then go get some tots. And kit kats.
The funny part is now I lost my job bc of the pregnancy and he has said there is no way he would help us.
I would give her a deadline for the house and the car.
Was her original plan to move out before your baby is born? Or just leech off of you and your Dh indefinitely?
I am so sorry you are dealing with this piece of crap in your house. I cannot wait for the eviction story...

By her age I'd put myself through college without debt, worked professionally for 3 years, gotten married, purchased our first home, and had my first kid, without ever getting money from family. I know it's not fair to compare, but it's hard to take her seriously when she talks about "working so hard".
Any chance you can just change the locks?
