My MIL own's this 3 bedroom trailor,There is 5 people living here and soon to be 6, because i'm 5 months pregnant, everyone has a job, but my fiance's step-dad is on ssi,and my fiance's brother is too lazy to get a job @21. My fiance and i are 18. We pay his mother $400 a month, she's getting $400 a month from my fiance's step-dad,and then she has what she make's which is usually $280 a week, she has food stamps,and so does step-dad but they are both out 'till the 1st. There is no food what so ever in this trailor,we did have food,but older brother here keeps waking up when were all gone,and leave's 'till we go to bed and eat's everything up and brings friends over and they eat too. MIL Yelled at him for it but he keeps doing it. She yelled at him for not having a job and he just say's I'm looking,she said nope your just sitting on your *** and going to parties. But we are runing low on gas,and really short on money,and don't get paid 'till next friday. does anyone have any advice?

  1. MOVE OUT!!! SOunds like nothing good is coming of this situation. Your mother in law should kick the other son out. No job should mean no food and no place to live if he's too lazy to even get a job. He needs to learn some responsibility. As for money, why don't you try an advance pay day loan? Be wary of those as well because sometimes they can lead to a vicious cycle. Just be very careful with your money.


  2. Get your own place, and start your family out the right way.  You need to start taking responsibility some time... and you two are expecting a baby.  This way when you fill your cupboards and fridge... it's there for you two... you are pregnant and need to maintain a healthy diet in order to maintain a healthy pregnancy.  Don't worry about the fight between the brother in law and the mother in law.  let them deal with it

    Good luck!

  3. those are crowded quarters

    how can you think of bringing a baby into this mess?

    how could you get pregnant at age 18 when you can't support yourself, let alone baby?

    You need proper nutrition for yourself for your baby--get on WIC

    You and your "fiance" need to take control of your life for the sake of your baby, not just float along acting without thinking which you have done to date. . .get in school, get some skills, get a job

  4. Buy your own frig and keep it in your room. Buy a lock for your door and keep all the food in there. Talk to your mother in law about the fact that she is enabling him. He knows mom won't kick him out. If he can't get a job in 2 weeks he needs to join the military!
