Eight years ago we bought our house and my dad and his partner bought one of those static caravans to live in full-time. It's about 2 miles from me, so not far, but I don't drive and there's no public transport near there. Busy roads (so not ideal for taking the kids with me etc).
When they moved in they were tons there was no post delivery there and asked, as a temporary measure, if they could have their post forward to ours until they got a post box. We agreed as it was temporary. It's now eight years later and they refuse to get a post box, say they need a "fixed address" for bank stuff and won't change their details or give this responsibility to anybody else.
A lot has happened between now and then and I'm grey rock. They're now not very mobile/borderline housebound and they used to expect us to wait in all weekend for them to come and collect their post when they fancied. They now expect us to ferry it to them at their whim.
I won't take my kids there as it's a hotbox of cigarette smoke and filth. Ss and stuff have been involved but they constantly refuse help.
My dsis and his partners kids live locally. Both drive. Both have more free time than me but won't help with the post.
I've just had a text from my dad asking me to bring their post to them this minute (errr, no) and I've said I can't because I'm sorting the kids dinner, out of town tomorrow through till next week and haven't got the time sadly.
He's got all arsey with me and I'm bloody sick of it. We get more post for them than for us.
Wibu to just return to sender absolutely everything in future?
