Vent Warning Ahead.
The in-laws are in town, visiting from Hungary for the next month. We have absolutely no choice in the say when they stay here because our house is in FIL's name. We pay all the bills, house insurance, property tax, etc and FIL doesn't put a penny into the house but he refuses to put the house in our name because he's afraid we'll tell him he can't stay here when he comes to visit.
We have 4-bedrooms; three upstairs and one downstairs. Isaiah has his room, Zoe hers, and we and Anberlin share right now. It's already cramped in here and we always have to move Zoe or Isaiah out of their room to make room for my FIL and his girlfriend. This year, they decided to bring a third person along. As if 5 people isn't stuffy, 7 is cramped, 8 is just, well, you get the point. So we moved Isaiah into Zoe's room, a double bed into Isaiah's room for FIL and his girlfriend, and we made up the room in the basement for the granddaughter. We thought we had the perfect solution.
So, they're here for a month and my 80-year-old FIL is old-fashioned and highly critical. We showed everyone to their rooms and the granddaughter had no issues with staying in the basement. After spending 8 hours yesterday cleaning this house and moving rooms and furniture, the first words out of FIL's mouth were "How dare you set up a room in the basement. She's your guest. You don't stick your guests in the basement." FIL was the ONLY one with the issue with the bedroom in the basement. Now the granddaughter is being forced to stay with FIL's friend across town.
Last night, they went to dinner at their friend's house, after I spent hours cooking up a pot roast and roast potatoes. Apparently FIL was considering buying us a bigger car to fit all the kids in it, but because there was one empty Tim Horton's bag on the passenger side, we "don't know how to take care of our vehicles" so he's no longer going to buy us a car. BECAUSE OF ONE STINKING BAG!!
This morning, FIL criticized my husband because the grass was not cut as short as the next door neighbour, then proceeded to flip out on him because he wouldn't do it while he was gone for the morning. He couldn't, because I wasn't home to supervise children. He has also flipped on both of us because Mike does the dishes and "it's a woman's job".
He has flipped on me because I won't eat the food he brings home from the grocery store. He brings home the same thing every day...steak and ham. I enjoy steak as much as the next person, but not everyday, but I haven't eaten pork in 13 years and I'm not about to start. He called me disrespectful because he "went out of his way to bring home food and I won't eat it"...but, it's not disrespectful to me when I spend all day and large amounts of money cooking a big meal only for him to refuse to eat it.
He complained that there is no home phone in our house. We have two cell phones which is cheaper for us than having a home phone, so he told us to get a home phone...today. First of all, nowhere will install a home phone the same day. Secondly, it's going to cost a fortune for one month of phone service, especially when we're not even going to be using that phone. We're looking at $130 for the CHEAPEST!! If he wants home phone that desperately, he can pay for it, but because he's "our guest", we apparently need to cater to him and pay for that home phone. $130 is a lot of money with 3 kids and no income.
Today, he took my car to get groceries and drain HALF A TANK OF GAS. Now, and Kate can confirm, it does not take half a tank of gas to go from my house to the grocery store (Grey St.). Then he turns around and flips because "there was no enough gas in the tank"...SO EFFING FILL IT!!!! We had enough to get by until pay day, but not anymore!
The best one?
Isaiah, as you know, is completely toilet trained. Isaiah had to pee on the potty in the living room yesterday because FIL's girlfriend was in the bathroom. FIL was amazed, and stated "He must have learned from the older girl". I told him no, that he taught himself, and that Zoe was still in diapers. "Well, how old is she?" he asked, and when I said she was 4, he goes "Oh, is she stupid or are you just lazy?"
It took every ounce of my strength not to clock my 80-year-old FIL.
He complains to my husband all the time about the number of tattoos he has, and generally just treats him like a child. I want so badly to just scream at this guy and defend my husband to him but I don't because my husband doesn't want me to. He fears it'll make this visit, and all visits, worse. He fears it'll ruin the small relationship my husband does have with his dad. I respect that my husband doesn't want me to say anything, so I bite my tongue a lot. Him being here makes us both miserable and we take it out on each other. It's absolutely horrible. We are living in sheer hell here. I don't know if I'm going to last the next month without throwing a fit.
Thank you for letting me vent, ladies...I'll probably be doing more over the next month.
Oh well, a few days of spoiling them rotten is good for them, right?? Oh, and they are 6 weeks old as of Sunday and sleep through the night!!!!
