In case you don't know, I run my families horse farm. The business has been struggling for the last year or so. But we've had a few long time clients that have been keeping us floating. One of which is like family. He's my moms best friend, but his family has turned into selfish pricks on him.
He has a very good job, makes about 80k a year. His wife got laid off from her job of about 55k a year, about two years ago. There daughter and her husband and grand daughter live at home with them, they pay rent. They live in a middle/lower middle class neighborhod, and have had there house there for 20yrs. His wife has always worked. The problem was she spent as much as she made. So since she's been layed off, she's been watching the 3 yr old grand daughter at home. Great, awesome job pitching in. Accept somehow they're so out of money, (with 3 working adults in the house) that this man making 80k a year just got a second job. Ok, so they need more money.
He already works 50 plus hours a week. When he's not at work, his family has him doing work around the house, not like normal upkeep, bazaar things. things that they want done, but do not want to get off there ass' and do for themselves. 90% of the time they don't even help him.
When he's not doing that, he's being told to help his brother in law with all of his wants, help siding the house, fixing the car, putting up stone facing, and a number of other things he doesnt have time to do. He fixes everyones cars. His family is selfish and lazy in so many ways, I'd never be able to do justice to here. He's been working since he was 14 and now he's 50 plus. His family never wants for anything. Well, not for anything they actually need. grr... they really piss me off.
So for years now he's had one thing to himself that he liked to do, his fun. He had his horses. Which as you can guess, stay at our farm. He was down to just one about 2 years ago. BUt, His self centered daughter HAD to have her own, so she bought it, played with it until she was bored, and has been bitching about the horse ever since. Her father like her horse, he built it a cart to drive, her daughter rode her around, the horse was great. But she couldnt be bothered with it, and it was too expensive. Yeah you dumb ass, you new how much it would cost when you bought her.
So our friend came over this morning and told my mom, he had to get a part time job. WTF????
Why doesnt his wife get a job, or a part time job? The grand daughter doesnt socialize with any kids, she's old enough, send her to pre school. Jeez, if nothing else she could keep watching her and work a few hours in the evening. But, no she lets her already run down husband get another job.
Oh and best of all, he has to sell the horses. Both of them are his responsiblity since he ding bat daughter dumped hers on him. So now he's going to spend 75 or 80 hrs a week working, and the total remainder of his waking hours, at there beckon call.
There is NO REASON for this!!! This is such a great man, and works so hard for his family, and there greedy, heartless harpee's.
They have always pissed me off, but this is the final straw. He pays board for the horses, but if he couldnt afford it he wouldnt have to, he's family. But he's so proud. and I know every time they have a huge bill on a credit card that THEY have run up, they throw the horses up in his face. One day he's going to go berserk
