I hate my OH's family, they are a bunch of liberty taking spongers, who think he is responsible for them.
When I met him he was still living with his Mother. It appears when his father was alive, he bank rolled my OH's younger brother, when he died the brother seemed to think my OH should take on that role.
For years my OH paid his brother's Girlfriend's mortgage and paid him thousands for nothing. He also paid alot of his mother's bills and vet bills, even though she has assets worth thousands, which she could sell for an easier life.
His loser brother, who seems to be a Walter Mitty character, thinks he's more than he really is. He has no money, never has, yet has booked a £3K holiday for his family. My OH said he will not be paying for it, but I know he needs to pay off for the holiday before he goes and has only paid £200. He sent my OH a text the other day, claiming his Partner's house was going to be repossessed if they don't pay £400 per week for 8 weeks. That works out roughly to the cost of his holiday, so seems he's trying to scam money from my OH to pay for his unattainable holiday. In 3.5 years, I have never had a holiday with my OH.
Then there's his brother's ex, with whom he has a teenage daughter. About a year ago her daughter, OH's Niece wanted to go on an expensive school trip away. Her mother couldn't afford it, so my OH gave them alot of the money towards the trip. Anyway, the mother met a man and decided to move away, so her daughter was taken out of the school, before the trip. I've since heard she has had the money refunded to her, but has just pocketed it.
When it's the teenage Niece's birthday or at Christmas, her mother will text my OH and demand what she wants from him for her daughter. None of them consider that he may be struggling and he now has his own child to support. They just all take and take and think it's their right. OH couldn't afford much last Christmas, so the niece got nothing. I was so shocked when her mother sent OH a text, with her bank details, so he could pay some money into her account.
I'm contsantly nagging at my OH about him letting them take advantage of him. As far as I'm concerned his main priority should be our son. They all disgust me, always winging how they're broke and can't manage. The thing that annoyed me the most was his brother used my OH's business creditcard to buy porn off the internet and has used it to join a sex dating site, without OH's permission. He's always using the business card for his own use, when it's only supposed to be used for fuel (he works for OH)
I just wish I could eradicate the lot of them from my life for good.
Rant over, thanks x
