brought to you by the every dooll app
start budgeting for free today so my
husband and I have two rental properties
um and uh my mother-in-law has lived in
one since
2019 um uh she moved in from Vermont
didn't have a place to go and so my
husband let her move in to that house um
2020 hit my husband's in the Army um
didn't get a certain something that
everyone was demanded they were told to
get and he lost his job um said he was
going to sell the house she told him
that God told her it is not it is his
job to take care of her because he is
the son so he bought a new house in the
town down the road and she still lives
currently in this same house um we have
were you all married at this time when
God told her that about you no we we
were not we were not I was not was not
around um okay so he was he was single
and and she lived with him um so we have
one child we are expecting our second
one in
October um and I'm self-employed my
husband's still in the Army um but we
came mutually to to the decision that in
August because my job is pretty physical
that I'm going to stop working and then
I'm only probably going to go back maybe
one or two days a week um and so we are
we it would be very helpful to to have
an actual income coming in from that
house she pays uh half half of the
mortgage my husband pays 450 and his one
brother gives 150 towards it um it's
kind of a sticky situation there's six
siblings between all of them um and
everyone else has had their opportunity
to grow and expand their family my
husband is the last one out of the six
to be married and have kids
so we don't want to kick her out um but
she yes you do well I I don't want her
to say I do but it would it would
just
it it would it would just be it would
just be helpful um you're so sweet just
tell them just say what you mean you
want her to leave she she's taking
advantage of everybody and you're over
it yes and that's where my H that's
where my husband is at well then he
needs to deal with his
mom so so but this is the other thing
she won't move into a senior highrise
she will if she's hom move anywhere she
will if she's
homeless so do you think that's that's
our best option give her like 60 days
and tell her
like okay listen I can tell you how to
get get her out just it's two words
rubber
snake that's where I was going I was
going to ask what is she afraid of Cu we
can make this really easy with no
tension well but that's but that's the
other that's the other hard thing is she
she claims PTSD she claims all of these
all of these issues all I think I think
I think I claim that she's moving into
assisted living if she can't manager
life and we'll help her do that um with
a little bit of money and uh we'll use
some of the money from the sale of the
house you need to sell the house and um
well that's what that's what we we'll
use some of the money from sell a house
to help her get settled and then unplug
the uh unplug the cord the umbilical
cord okay okay because my my husband was
just want just from the Christian
Perspective he no honey there's nothing
Christian about this let me just tell
you okay I had a guy walk into the
office here a while back to the front
desk and they said there's a guy down
here to see you and I walked down he
said God told me you were going to buy
me a
van H and I said no he
didn't he didn't tell you that he said
what do you mean I said he absolutely
did not tell you that because if he had
told you that he would have told me and
there'd be a van sitting out there for
you but he didn't tell me okay so I'm
always I'm always interested as a
Christian for people who play the God
card with such Authority and uh all they
are is a manipulator this has nothing to
do with honoring your mother when they
say honor your father and your mother it
doesn't say honor their misbehavior it
says honor the office of motherhood the
office of fatherhood if your mom does
cocaine and wants you to buy it for her
that is not a Godly
act okay right and your your
mother-in-law is misbehaving she's a
travel agent for guilt
trips she's got issues that's good I'm
gonna use that I've never heard that
before I know that's a good one yeah I
like that and your poor husband has been
pushed around by her and and and then
she plays the God card and God didn't
tell her that that's a complete load of
crap okay thank you it's absolutely not
true what's your husband's stomach for
all of this is he gonna take her is he
gonna take her
on no so his thought was he was going to
uh put the house on Section 8 and then
we would register her for Section 8
housing no that's awful she needs to
move you need to deal he needs to deal
with his mom he needs to lovingly kindly
go sit down have a cup of coffee and go
mom we're
done I love you and I'm going to help
you move into some assisted living with
some of the money I make from the sale
of this house but you have milked this
cow and it is dry and you're not milking
anymore mom we're done
well no Mom you're confused I said we're
done and I wasn't kidding we are done
you are moving you're either going to
move gently and kindly with my
Assistance or I'm going to set you in
the street with the sheriff now do you
want to play this the easy way or the
hard way I've you've reached the end of
my patience I am done I love you I'm
going to help you as best I can but you
living here is not going to happen
anymore he needs to have the backbone to
say that
mhm thank you and you don't need to be
in the
room well that's yeah they they have he
has a lot of animosity you don't need to
be in the room you'll get blamed for all
this the wicked you'll be the you'll be
the wicked stepdaughter if he's
animosity towards her this actually
should be a little easier because you
just got to be careful to be kind yeah
but I mean as far as disappointing her I
mean look you guys have got to tell Mama
couldn't give a crap laugh as she's
disappointed he's not he's not
disappoint he's not afraid she'll be
disappointed him and his brother are
best friends and his brother is the one
that that sometimes also guil trips him
to keep well then let him take care let
him write the checks you you guys got to
cast a little vision amazing how
everybody's got an opinion about what
you guys should do with your money
that's the key I know this family is
they put the fun in dysfunction don't
they wow you're coming home with a new
baby and this is a financial asset that
will help you all live the life you want
to live I'd stay in that lane to where
they are painted in a corner M
millionaire you want to put up with this
crap and you want to just write checks
just to not have to deal with it that's
fine but it's not good for her she's
going to continue to do this crap the
rest of her life yeah and it's not good
it's not good for you guys it's you know
you're losing respect for your husband
he's losing respect for himself because
he won't stand up to to this you know
this Mom that's out of control and is
not biblical automatically you have to
write checks for somebody who hasn't who
doesn't do stuff I mean I I I want him
to take care of her to the point he can
that'd be sweet it's a charitable act
but it is not a Biblical mandate God did
not tell her that he was to furnish her
a house that's an absolute abute load of
religious crap it's what that is and I
man I I I love my brothers and sisters
in Christ but some of you people are
oversaved create your free every dollar
budget today the simplest way to budget
for your life
