Am I being impatient? They are having their home entirely renovated and it’s taking a long time because the workers there aren’t doing a good job. It’s been more than 2 months already. In the beginning, he said it would take them only 2 weeks and I had no problem letting my brother stay with me for that much time. But weeks have turned into months. It’s gonna be 3 months on April 27. My brother doesn’t work and his wife works but she left her job some time ago. They’re both kinda useless. They sleep in all day, lay around, and eat all the food. His wife does do a lot of work around the house. She babysits my one-year-old daughter, changes her, and cleans the house. She helps my wife a lot but it doesn’t make up for them staying there for more than 2 months. I work and pay my own bills and we can’t afford more than 3 of us. They also eat a lot of food. His wife drank all the soda that I had bought and he eats a lot. I can’t keep taking care of them and my wife is more annoyed than I am. Am I being impatient with them? Or do I have the right to be slightly annoyed? I can’t just kick them out in the streets..I don’t know what to do.
“My brother doesn’t work and his wife works but she left her job some time ago.” 🙄😵??!!
You mean his wife USED to work, now none of them work, no viable source of income… they sleep until noon..so how in the hell can they afford to have their “entire home renovated”??!!
Why can’t you “just kick them out?” They are conning you and had no intentions of staying at your home for just 2 weeks. They are freeloading off of you and apparently haven’t contributed a dime in 3 months’ time! Wise up, there is no home renovation, they don’t have a home, if they actually did at one time, they don’t now. It’s probably been foreclosed. It’d be confirmed if you had provided more info such as do they live nearby? How far away DID they use to live? How much of their belongings did they bring with them? Have you actually accompanied them to check on their claims of “renovations?!! I bet you haven’t. LOL. That’s their coverup/lie excuse for having to stay at your home. You really need to see these “renovations”.
That is a very expensive undertaking!! A bathroom alone is easy $20, 000, kitchens cost even more. SMH, neither of them works and it appears they have no intentions of working. Besides the massive cost of renovating their: home”, they still have to pay their mortgage payment, utilities, etc…so where in the world is all this money coming from if they can’t even afford to chip in for some groceries?!
Also, if your brother doesn’t work then how or why would they have a major home reno on just one salary?! I’m almost positive that his wife does not make that much money or ever held a good job. Someone who is a high-wage earner would not want a husband who doesn’t work, is lazy, and has no ambitions. A woman who has a high-powered job wouldn’t just leave her job, move in and mooch off of her in laws and sleep until noon!
I really think they are lying to you and have lost their “home”, that is if they ever owned one. Maybe they were just renting and the landlord threw them out for being deadbeats, not paying rent seeing how they don’t have jobs.
If you don’t make them leave, then they will stay forever…that happens quite a bit in horror stories I have read or heard about. Good luck but if they’ve been freeloading at your home for that long, I don’t think they plan on moving on soon.
How much longer till their house gets done? It should be in the construction contract when they can expect it and the company should absolutely adhere to that deadline! Why didn’t they think about where they were going to say (besides your home) before deciding to have their house renovated??! Seems like an irresponsible move on their part! You need to be truthful with your brother. It’s not hard! My brother is truthful with me and I don’t even live with him and and his wife! You need a better more honest relationship with your brother for one thing. He’s an adult and he’s even married now. She works (or used to but she quit??! Then she needs to get another job NOW and so does your brother. There’s just no excuse. Basic needs go first!).
“Hey Bro, that 2 weeks has turned into 2 months. This is not what me and the wife signed up for. In another week it’ll be 3 months. I’ll give you till the end of May, then you got to go. This is not working out the way we thought it would. I think we’ve been more than understanding, but it’s time to find a different place.”
