Alright.. So my wife has a brother that I just never really liked. He doesn't want to work (I haven't seen him hold a job more than 3 months). He's been to jail many times for DUI and now he's on probation. Well He apparenlty couldn't stop his habits and failed the drug test twice due to smoking weed. Well he's back in jail till around July.

Whats even worse is he has a new born son thats not even 8 months old.

Now lets make the situation even worse..lost of worse in this story...

His gf told him he couldn't be with him anymore. Which I can understand. He's a loser. But instead of moving on with her life she dropped her son off at the baby sitter. Then she decided to drink all night and take a lot of pills. Now she's sitting in the ER for overdosing. Even with her new child in this world she decided to attempt suicide................

Now my wife and her mother are at the hospital trying to find someone to take care of our nephew for a few days till his mother can get back on her feet. If she even wants too. We don't have the time or money to support him and neither does her mother.

Doesn't this just suck?

People are selfish idiots. What else can you say? They get drunk, do drugs, attempt suicide just to get away from their problems instead of facing and resolving them.

Yes, that deadbeat SOB father is f^cking up more than his own life. I detest pitiful people like that. Losers that cannot grow up and take care of their own family.

I believe he's been there before. Even if he was sent there again he would do it just to get it over and go back to his habits.

The kid's mother is also at fault. She could rise above the situation, but she is not.

I have a question, did his mother raise him good or let him to do on his own?

She raised him good. But he was always the "wild child"?? He didn't want to listen. He didn't want to work for anything. He's the kind of guy who expects everything for free. I don't know where he got that attitude from. Both of my wifes parents work. My wifes sister works and so does my wife.

That's odd.

I was raised by my mother and she let me to do on my own when I entered high school. I always keep myself in good standing with academics. I go to college during the year and work every summer and to maintain to have a good life.

Don't ever let that child be in contact with his parents. The child should be given up for adoption asap. No sense fvcking up the kid too.

maybe not total control, but you can report them to child services and have the kid taken away.

Hmm...

Well apparently my wife and her mother were having a little chat last night. I guess her mother was telling her we should adopt their kid.

I'm not sure if we are ready for that. and I really don't want to give my nephew's parents a good reason to come over all the time. I don't get along with them that well.
