I may get less done than expected the plane is scheduled to leave a little later. He will leave today though even if it means he flies to my uncle's house in Ohio before going back to New England. I am not bringing him back to the house under any circumstances. I have been yelled at and treated like dirt for 2 weeks now and i won't put up with it another day.

Wow!! So sorry to hear that I bet you are so ready to kick him out the door, any delays must be torture!

I'm so sorry to hear that Rebecca.. after day 2.. I would have driven him back to the airport and thanked him for the visit.... I don't blame you one bit for not wanting him back at this point in time... Why was he so nasty???

Sorry to hear this Rebecca. Like Nancy said, I would have kicked his sorry butt out after the 2nd day.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Nobody should be expected to tolerate that kind of behavior. You have been more than nice just letting him stay that long. He can just stay at the airport.

He is mentally disabled and while he is normally fine with me, he got mad because I was making sure he didn't eat what he shouldn't (he is also diabetic but refuses to admit it). He normally had gone to my papa's for Thanksgiving and back to his aparment within a day or 2 but after papa died this summer I volunteered to have him for up to a week at Thanksgiving. They ended up getting tickets for 12 days. He was okay for about 5 days but then decided that I was horrible and started treating me the same way he has treated my mom and aunt for years. He hadn't been bad for me before but i was never the one telling him no before. I didn't want him to go into a diabetic coma on me though. One week would have been okay but it was just too long- especially since I didn't have anywhere to retreat. I understand part of it is a disability but a lot of it is just his stinky attitude- he is mad at life and takes it out on the people around him.

[PrincessNancy96]

That makes more sense...an explanation of sorts..but it still doesn't make it right...but you did the right thing for not allowing him to go into a diabetic coma or anything else.... to you!!!!

If it was just a regualr visitor or ralative they would have been out of the house if they couldn't have been nicer. I don't even let my sister stay for more then 2 days if my mom is not laong. I love her but she has 3 children and while she keeps them under control at her house- she doesn't discipline them on vacation- her DH is even worse. One time i walked in and her DH was sitting beside my nephew pulling all of my books and figurines out of the bottom shelves of my bookcase and he didn't even recognize what his son was doing. Also I have to do all the cooking - for each meal at whatever time anyone wants it. If my mom is with them then she takes care of it all but I refuse to cater to 2 grown adults- I would make food for my nieces and nephews but I don't need to make my sister's omelet unless I am making one for me at the same time.

Rebecca I feel your pain. You are doing the right thing, even though he doesn't see it.

Quick, go sign up for SDV Orlando. I did this weekend after a trying moment. Made me feel so much better, and now I have another weekend crop to look forward to!

Sorry your holiday was ruined by such a difficult person. I agree, you did the right thing, but being the "bad guy" sucks!

And I am in total agreement about the meals for other adults thing! And people not watching their own kids...what's up with that? Rude much?
