Stuff caving in on me

**Missy** · 04-28-2007, 01:56 PM

Argh. BIL won't get out. I told him he had to find a lpace ASAP. He said he wanted to wait till payday. i told him he didn't get it, i said out! He said that he works too much to go find an apt. So out of my back pocket i whip a paper full of places i'd researched and found for him. No excuses. I know they are in his price range. I know what his pay is. he wrks for DH. I know what his pay is. I found all kinds of stuff he can get into this weekend. He's bein an ass about it and i am at my last straw!

talk me down from strangling him!!! argh!!!

ok, i feel better now.

Do not strangle him - It won't be worth the hassle of trying to hide the body!!

Ha - I can totally relate though - through the years I've had various relatives and friends move in and often it was all I could do to not have the freakin' locks changed!!

This to shall pass!

I say just keep nagging at him, it might do the trick, please keep us posted

I know how it is though, been there .... done that.

I feel for you. It was just like FIL living with us for a year! Hang in there!

There is always the option of going to home depot, buy new locks for your house, replace your locks and place his stuff outside.

I'm sorry you are going through this Missy, I know some people are so hard headed. I went through a simular situation many years ago so I understand how you feel

This is another one of those things your husband should be taking care of but I'm sure you already know that. Grr.

to you.

**Cricketlegs** · 04-28-2007, 03:16 PM

Ewwww. I hate stuff like this.

Good luck!

I am sorry you are going through this. It is tough, I would pack all his stuff up put it on the front lawn with his name on it and hope that he gets the message. Also I would start leaving apartment adds all over the place, and write poem like:

You were welcome here at first
But then that bubble burst.
It would be so nice to have a house
but instead you have decided to sponge off us like a mouse.
So before this goes to far
and you end up at the bar
take your stuff
I wish you luck
now get the (interest what ever word you feel strongest about here) out!

And then you can stick all over his stuff!

That was my thought, too... your DH needs to get involved.

Good for you for having the apartment listings all ready for him-- I wouldn't have thought of that.

And please don't strangle him, we've all read this thread and we might have to testify about your intent.

LOL!

ROFL, you mean FV can't be my alibi???

LOL, good one.

Don't put his stuff out side. You better check the renters laws in your area. Even if he doesn't pay rent. You may have to go thru the courts before he will have to leave. Don't do anything that will get you in trouble with the law

Sounds like it's time to make him less "comfortable" in your place.

Forget to make him dinner -- serve just your family. When he looks for food, say something like "Are you still here? I thought you'd moved"

Vacumn the carpets when he's sleeping, decide to dust his room at some unearthly hour, and so forth.

Send the kids and their leggos to play in his room. . .
