Thanks, Sistermadly.
Unfortunately, I don't think there will ever be any common ground between us. The latest issue is that my fiance and I were just guilt-tripped into housing his uncle yesterday. The man has been homeless for the past ten years in California, and my future father-in-law (FFIL) and brother-in-law (FBIL) suddenly decided about 2 months ago that they wanted to find him and help him out. So, FFIL made some phone calls and located him, brought him out here to Georgia, and then told my fiance and me that we needed to house him! (And insisted that we pay for half of the guy's plane ticket out here.)
At first, we said heck no to him moving in because we're about to be newlyweds and want our privacy -- plus the man has tons of health problems and no job, which means we'd most likely be footing the bills for him. So, FFIL has had him staying at his house (4 houses down from ours) for the past month. However, he's been out of town most of the time visiting his girlfriend in Cleveland, Ohio, so we've been the ones buying groceries for the uncle and taking him to the hospital in the middle of the night for his health problems when they flare up.
Then, over the weekend, FFIL informed us that he's moving back to Cleveland next month to live with his new girlfriend, and that the uncle will need a new place to stay. FBIL, a worthless piece of $@&* who just spent $400 on a new puppy for his girlfriend although he's 2 months behind in child support for his 3 kids, says that he can't do anything to help his uncle right now because he needs to "think about me" for a change. He told the uncle, "Mr. dzrose can take you in, he's got plenty of room."
So, we get a phone call yesterday from FFIL, asking us to walk down to his house for a "Family Meeting" where we were basically told that it is our "duty" to take care of this uncle for an undetermined amount of time. My fiance felt so guilty that he agreed!
So, I'm now going to be coming home from our honeymoon to a roommate.
