My Boyfriend's little sister had a baby last year at 19. She is now 20 and has a wonderful 1 year old baby girl (considering the lack of parenting skills involved here). She was "lonely" off at college, so she had unprotected sex with a "man" she knew for 2-3months. Guess what came along!
Her "baby's daddy" (her words) is a jerk. There is no excuse for the abuse I've witnessed. From yelling about dishes and dinner, to calling her a names, to throwing her cats out in the cold because they are afraid of him (shoots them with BB Guns) so they pee on things. It makes my stomach turn. We are talking "know your place", "sit down and shut up", kind of abuse here. And I assume this is the "toned down" version, this is when big brother is around to hear it.
She has decided the two of them needed a week away from each other (so HE could decided if this is what HE wants), and asked to live with us for the week. My boyfriend asked me if it was ok and I said "Sure!". (It should be noted, regardless of the frustration here, she is family and I would, and most likely will have to, say "sure" again.) This is her thanks for the week.
We feed her (pay for the food and cook it)
We do the dishes
We clean the peanut butter off the counter, put it away, close the bread and put it back
I spent 2 hours cleaning a mess that was entirely hers last night (the house was spotless when she arrived 2 days ago)
I spent 30min of the 2 hours last night picking up dirt kleenex's she was using and throwing on the floor, where the dog would pick them up and run off (I would walk out of the room and come back and there were more on the floor I would pick up).
The rest of my time was spent putting her kid's clothes, toys, diapers, bottles away. Including a dirty diaper left on my table.
I spent the rest of my night last night babysitting HER kid while she was too busy watching T.V.
I cooked dinner last night with HER KID in my arms the whole time, because everytime the baby said "Momma?" The quote unquote momma what angrily say "What Elizabeth?!", I guess the Disney Channel show the 20 year old was watching was more important than playing with her kid.
That's just the disrespect she shows us, she takes advantage of everyone in the family. There was a weekend trip away, baby came with. What did the parents bring for the baby? Shoes that were too small. No formula, no bottles, no clothes or toys, and shoes she couldn't wear. By boyfriends incredible Mom had to buy her grandaughter EVERYTHING she needed for the weekend.
SO we have yet to hear a "thank you for your trouble" and she has yet to show respect for a house that is not hers. Not to mention the lack of appreciation toward the entire family.
Moral of the story?:
Children, don't have children, just wrap it up!
