I've been in an incredibly hard situation for the past two years now and it's getting worse. Two years ago I had to move back in with my mom because my ex, who I was married to at the time, was not able to re inlist. I am incredibly lucky that I was able to move back in with her and had plans of moving back out once my ex found a good job and same for myself. But our relationship had been falling apart since day one... We never really knew each other and I thought he would grow up and start taking care of his family, especially since we have two girls together. Well... After we moved back he was jobless for three months and was barely trying, all the while he slept and played video games ALL day every day. He slept till I kicked him out of bed at noon then was on his computer almost immediately. Never helped me with the kids and never helped clean or do laundry. I think I got a job before him and I was pregnant at the time!
So after a while I got fed up with it and kicked him out. He took everything for granted and was a selfish jerk. IS a selfish jerk! He has absolutely no work ethic and could care less about getting a good job. 2012 was a horrible year. I kicked him out in the beginning and was trying to work with only one babysitter because he told me he would not babysit the kids anymore. They are his kids! He is the biological father and he would not watch them so I could work! Didn't pay child support either! And the only time he ever took them was on the rare occasion when his mom and sister wanted to see them... I tried to work it out with him off and on through the summer, through other stressful crap, but he was still the same lazy jerk. Finally I realized he is never going to change and after his millionth chance I filed for divorce.
Well... That one stress is out of my life, kind of, but now my brother and his wife are being pieces of work... My brother has a career and is making at least 40k a year. His wife made 20k last year as a server. Yet they bitch and complain about never having any money. Maybe if he had not bought that huge flatscreen or $1k bow they would have money. And she is to blame too! With her $400 Frye boots and $800 laptop and manicures and pedicures every week. They have not had to buy food for the past two years since I stock the house. They constantly go out and eat and drink, I'm sure the drinks cost more than the food, yet they complain about how they have no money and are trying to get a house... They have NEVER had to pay rent anywhere and only have their phone bill and car bills to deal with. Electric and heat and food is all paid for... And now they are complaining that they can only get $40k for a home loan. They do not have a down payment and all of their credit cards are maxed out... Um... How have they not figured this shit out!?
Meanwhile, I've lost my job because my boss is a sexist prick and threatened to fire me and my boyfriend because our work has been effected. Yea right! He only sat down and talked to me about it. Didn't say anything to my boyfriend. My boyfriend has been there for 10 years... So it was rather clear that I was going to be fired because I've only been there 6 months, therefore I am a lot easier to replace than a shift leader, which is what my boyfriend is. So I took the fall and am now jobless with bills piling up and a credit card that is almost maxed out... Oh, but I was supposed to stay working there and let them fire me so I could go and sue them, says my brother. We actually got in to a fight about it... I am 22 years old. And here he is telling me what to do. Like that is going to go over well! The manager already had his ass covered because he would come up with some other bullshit reason as to why I was fired. He's done this shit before! And he's gotten away with it before too!
Ugh! I'm just so pissed and stressed at this whole thing! Especially my brother! They act like they have it so hard yet they are the cause of ALL of their problems! It really hurts me how they act and just ignore everyone who has real problems. Yea, I know there are others who have worse problems than me, which is why I do not constantly bitch and complain about my problems, but lately I've been under WAY too much stress and here is the result... And I have a bill due in 4 days which I am really stressing about because I have no clue when I will get a job...
I've applied at 6 places... I've heard nothing yet. So now I get to call and ask if anyone has seen my application. The website said they were hiring!
