Poor you....but you did marry, for better or worse. It's funny how everything seems to go wrong at the same time but things will improve, hold each other's hands through it and work on things together as a team.
Good luck.Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

he moved in with me while his dd who is 20 lived in his house she paid no rent ect
3 weeks ago he decided we could not afford to run both homes so asked dd to move out he found her some where else to live ( he has been asking her for 3 years to pay something ,get a lodger ect but she just cryed and said she would but it never happend) she has now moved out and the sister has called me all the names under the sun like its all my falt i feel really bad his mum and dad arnt talking to us
His mum and dad aren't talking to you and his other daughter is acting like some rude bint, all because you asked a 20 year old to pay her way. For gawd sake how long did they expect you to sub this lazy oink.
Talk about cant choose your relatives. Be glad of the peace of them ignoring you. Sort the boiler and the car and get on with a quiet existence doing what you want whilst not subbing some spoilt brat who is old enough to look after herself.0 -
Don't let the beggars grind you down.
DD has had a good run for her money (or more like, yours and OH's money)whilst you should be proud that you have supported your partner through thick and thin.
Enjoy your home and put your stamp on it and tell the others to walk on. The car and broken boiler will sort themselves out - these things happen to the best of us.0 -
Oh love .. it was meant to be, you met and married and are still together despite everything.
Hold your head up and refuse to be insulted or intimidated by people who are only accidentally related to you through marriage.
Tell the ADULT DD and her sister to grow up.
As for the inlaws?
Perhaps they would let their 'poor' Grand daughter move in with them if they are so concerned about her wellfare.0 -
Thank you all so much for your advise and support .

I think you need to stop for a moment, take a deep breath and have a cuppa, read what you have written and think about it properly:
1. Your OH's dd is 20 and she is behaving like a spoiled little girl. At her age, it is high time she learned about responsibility ie paying her own rent and certainly her own way.
2. Yours in-laws are not talking to you? Well so be it! If they want to behave like children you don't need them in your life! If they say that they are not doing presents, fine. Return the presents you have bought, sell them on Ebay or give them a charity. They are playing silly games and are trying to hold you to ransom!
What is your OH saying about the situation? Really, if anyone is to blame it is him for not being firmer with his dd, not getting her to pay rent and not forcing her to take in a lodger. He should also have the balls to stand up to his other dd and to his parents and protect you.
Once your emotions settle down a little, you will see things a bit more clearly and things won't look so bad. Just look after yourself and your own children and let the rest of them to their silly little arguments!LBM: August 2006 £12,568.49 - DFD 22nd March 2012
