About an hour after I typed up my previous post about my sister-in-law and her family I made myself comfy on the couch because the movie Marie Antoinette came on showcase. I had always wanted to see the movie (because of the history part) and was happy that it finally came on the movie channel.

Ten minutes into the movie I heard a knock on the door which really annoyed me, cause we never get visitors; only when a movie comes on. I opened the door and saw my nephews standing in front of it while the sister-in-law and boyfriend were getting out of the car. The first thing I did was give my nephews a big hug and put some decent food in front of them.

I didn’t even worry about going to the veranda where their parents were because I couldn’t stand the sight of them. So hubby talked to them for a while. They said they wouldn’t stay long, but the oldest nephew said they would come all day tomorrow and he was really looking forward to it. The poor kid literally begged me if he could please stay with us for a couple of nights. Of course he can stay anytime he wants, but I told him to ask his mum. She said she had to think about it, which basically means no.

I spend all my time with the kids, making sure they had a good time. When they said they were going I came out to talk to their parents. I thought they were being pretty disrespectful to me, the boyfriend even telling me to go back to my own country for no apparent reason. Even though I was pretty angry with them I had not said one bad word or showed them how I really felt because I wanted the kids to come back the next day. In any other situation I would have told them to f*ck off!

Anyway, next morning we got another text of the sister-in-law to ask if they still could bring their cat. Hubby was very pissed off with them because of some of the stuff they are doing to the kids and replied “No, we can not take care of your cat”. And of course we did not see them that day. We have been trying to ring them numerous times, but they don’t answer their mobile phone…

Today we got a text message from my sister-in-law, the one who’s pregnant and is living in a car with her boyfriend and 3 kids. She wants to bring our cat cage carrier back. Turns out that she will only bring it back if we will take care of her cat. Jason had told her we would take care of the cat while I had not agreed to that at all. We already have two cats and we’re not allowed to have more (we live in a rental house).

Anyway, her asking us to take care of the cat means she is still living in a car. Which means she’s been lying about her moving into a rental house. The whole situation makes my blood boil. It pisses me off so much that I don’t know what I will do when I see her tomorrow. I told hubby to text her back that we are not going to take care of her cat, but he didn’t want to text her back. He said that if she knows that we won’t take care of the cat she won’t come to our house at all and he wants to see the kids.

I told him that if he thought he could talk sense into her that he was wrong. It doesn’t matter what you say, she won’t listen to anyone. I just hope that I can restrain myself enough not to beat the shit out of her when I see her!

To be continued…

A little update on my last post: Jason tried to talk my pregnant sister-in-law and her family into moving in with him while they could sort their shit out. But… she refuses any help from anyone. So at the moment she is living in a car somewhere along the road. She’s on the move because she doesn’t want her mum or anyone else to find out where she is.

Anyway, not wanting to get any help from us kind of pissed us off. She’s pregnant and the kids haven’t been to school for months. I already talked to DH that if she refused the help I would ring child services, but when Jason told us the news about her refusal he said that my mother-in-law already had done that. I just hope that they can do something soon, because this situation is ridiculous. She is messing with the future of her kids and that is a horrible thing. The sooner she starts to realize that the better.

My sister-in-law reckons she has a grand plan behind this all. She says they are only waiting to be approved for a rental house which is very unlikely because she can’t produce any pay slips or some sort of income. In the meantime she keeps the kids out of school and I don’t even want to think about what she is feeding him. The fact that the oldest kid lost his kidney because of her neglect is still fresh in my mind.

It is not a secret that I am not a fan of my in-laws. Two days ago we got a phone call from Jason, the obnoxious brother of my hubby. Turns out that my hubby’s pregnant sister and her family is living in a car. They sold their house in November and had told us that she would move in with friends until they would buy their next house. She came to pick up our cat carrier cage and we’ve never heard of them again.

My hubby’s mum - who we don’t have any contact with - has had her followed for the last couple of months (don’t ask, it’s a long and very complicated story) and had found out they - pregnant sister, partner and 3 kids - are living in a big four-wheel drive. The kids apparently haven’t been to school for months.

I was shocked when I heard the news. I could not believe it. They made a whopping profit when they sold their house and I could not imagine that they had spend it all and were basically homeless. But it turned out that my sister-in-law had been scamming the government for money. Her mum had turned her in so I guess she had to pay everything back + a hefty fine.

The only reason why Jason let us in on it was because he wanted us to take care of their cat while he tried to talk them into staying in his house until they sorted their shit out. Why on earth he wants to help them I don’t know, because she has a restraining order against him. He says it’s only for the kids and not for her. I feel for the kids, I always have. She has always neglected them and is pregnant of a fourth child.

I want to ring child services, but Jason doesn’t want me to. He has been in a foster home when he was young and doesn’t want them to go through with it. But let’s be honest; she’s not ever going to change and her kids are paying the price. Should I really just sit back and let this happen? There is no way that she is gonna let her kids stay with us or Jason.

I feel torn. I want to do something for the kids, but on the other side I do not want to get involved with her. What should I do?
