Angry I can't take it. Seriously.

My BIL moved in with us almost a month ago. Since then - he is constantly bit**ing at my youngest. I understand my youngest is sometimes a handful. He's the baby. And I'm not making excuses. I'm just being honest. Other people tell me all the time how well behaved our kids are - so idk.
If Colton sticks his tongue out - BIL tells him he'll cut it off.
He is constantly trying to get the boys in trouble by calling them on the smallest things.
He tells the boys in front of me - that he will tell me.
I finally told Colton just to stay away from Uncle Nick but OMG I shouldn't have to do that.

Background - this is the 3rd time he's lived with us in our 6 year marriage.
He's not working. Again.

kick his ass out, in no way should he be treating your kids in a manner that you do not approve of and getting away with it.

I hate when relatives come live with you, it always sucks.

Seriously. I was bawling while cooking dinner.

If he would just get a freaking job - he wouldn't be here to get on my freaking nerves.

^^What Traci said^^

And *hugs* to you. I like my space, and if anyone had to come and live here, I don't think I could handle it. Relatives are fine for a week or less. I want to walk around in my undies if I feel like it, kwim?

I know right. I have to search for shorts or jammie pants every morning - um, because I'm horrible at putting my clothes away.

But I can't walk around how I want to.

Stupid BIL!

Personally, I'd take him aside and say "Listen, we're family and I love you but I'm a mother first and, so help me, if I hear you threatening one of my children again, I will end you." No but seriously, will your DH say anything to him?

My brother does this kind of stuff and I just say "Steve, let me be the mean-momma, and you can be the cool uncle, k?" and he gets the hint.

Dusty has been working so much overtime trying to take care of all of us that I don't wanna bug him with it. I need to but I don't wanna stress him out any more than he already is, kwim?

Aw, Nikki, you are breaking my friggin heart. Honestly. I hate it when people harp on kids. So, he's a miserable bastard. He wants to make everyone else miserable too! I'm with Traci, tell him to shut the hell up and leave your kids alone. But I am all about the tough love, not saying that you love him. I would be much less tolerant. But I have brought other peoples kids home in the middle of my kids birthday party because they can't be nice. Do you have a garage you could banish him to? A basement? A closet? A sister in law??? Where the heck is his mamma?


P.M.S I am feeling Rawr now

ugh - family history would be a very lengthy story.

mom - not here.

sisters - won't let him stay.

step-father - just kicked him out ----- which is why he's with us.

Please talk to your hubby Nikki. It will really make you feel better to vent to HIM. And maybe he'll say something to his brother. Someone obviously needs to!

He's home now. I'm going to let him eat and shower and then talk to him when we go to bed. He worked 13 1/2 hours today. I hate to dump it on him.
