to think my bil is an ungreatful sh$t!!

[lucysmam]

He and his pregnant (on purpose so they got a council house!!!!!) girlfriend have been offered a flat by our council until they are able to offer them a house.

They have to share a bathroom but have everything else in place to move in today, they don't even have to have furniture and towels or bedding, it's all there.

My bil is complaining because they have to share the bathroom which is cleaned by wardens on a regular basis & they have to pay 10pounds a week towards the warden service. No rent or any bills to pay though!

We on the other hand have no heating, our landlord refuses to fix it, the council won't move us at this time of year & we would gladly move in there right now

Bit of a rant sorry, very very frustrated that he's so ungrateful & they got pregnant on purpose when we're in a worse situation than they were when they were both at their parent's house!!!

YANBU - but there's probably nothing you can do about it so you'll just have to grit yout teeth....

Well, to be fair, I wouldn't want to live in somewhere that had a shared bathroom, free or not.

Just a suggestion (and not sure if it's possible with the council) could they not take your place and you take the flat?

The getting PG on purpose when you have no means whatsoever of supporting yourself never mind the child is bloody infuriating on it's own, IMHO.

Oh, YANBU though...

Oh come on ,do people still get pregnant on purpose,for housing needs, in this day and age?
In this area, if you were pregnant (or had children) and needed housing, you would be put into B&B and waiting on the housing list for at least 3 years .

I wish they would take our place tbh. Having to boil pans to get a bath is not bloody fun! He's just an ungreatful sob tbh

Nothing's ever good enough & the thought that they're bringing a child into the world when they're not grown up enough to put up with imo really good quality (for council) accommodation for a couple of months & have not even thought that far ahead is frustrating when most other people struggle their way through bad situations and get to the other side makes me mad.

Hence why I've been left at mil's with my lo rather than going round there to have a go ad kick his ass into gear while the rest of them are round there packing her stuff up anyways and have told him he can sleep rough if he's not going to live there for the moment

poshwellies, yup.

Her family don't like my bil so won't put him up and my oh's mum simply doesn't have the space for both of them. She's been trying to get pg so they got a house since they met

I know where I grew up, getting PG at 16 to get a flat was a career option (and, sadly, something my school's career 'adviser' would have thought more believeable than going to Oxbridge)

That was 20 years ago, though, so not sure it happens that often now, but I am sure some people do it.

they made their choices.no guarantee of happiness from it.dont get het up about their lives

sorry things aren't so great for you at the moment.hope something resolves for you
