| I wish I could post a picture of DUG right now. He is POUTING. I mean seriously, has his bottom lip poked out and everything. Why? Because he is out of cigarettes and DH informed him we are not buying him any. If he can't afford to buy them, he can't afford to smoke them. He is about a breath away from being thrown out TONIGHT. It is not fair to us to have to put up with his crankiness.

| Tee hee, me too! Maybe you can just tell him that's the a good reason to quit-the expense of cigarettes, and what better way to quit then to not have ANY in the house? Sounds like a win/win to me! Take a pic if you can, maybe you can "look" at your camera and "accidentally" take a picture!?

| There is no way for me to get a picture without him knowing it, plus I don't think its right to post a pic of someone without their permission. But OMG it is hysterical. I swear he is pouting like a 5 year old. I have never in my life. Ever ever.

| Are you doing his laundry too? If you are...Make sure to toss in a BRIGHT pink towel or brand new pair of red socks with his tighty whities! At least if he annoys you, you can smirk, knowing all his undies are pink!!!!

| OMG! DH just told him he has to be out by THIS WEEKEND! I am SO HAPPY to be getting my house back, but I am also SHOCKED that DH finally grew a set of...well....anyway, I am shocked that DH actually stepped up and did it. I feel a little guilty. I mean, I know I get angry and vent and say things, etc. And I also know he is a grown man and sometimes the best thing you can do for someone is throw them to the wolves and I truly feel like he is one of those types. We have helped him over and over and over again and he still hasn't learned. I asked DH what he said and he said that first DUG said he would see what he could do, then he started to cry and said he wished he was dead. DH said he just shook his head and walked off at that point. I was shocked, but he said we have helped all we can, and he is right. I am sorry for DUG, but he put himself in this position.

| Yes, he is DH's cousin. The rest of the family has pretty much washed their hands of him. This is the SIXTH time we have had him live with us in the past 8 years.

| UGH! I don't envy you, I can't imagine what its like to have someone living in your home. And he expects you to buy him smokes? Thats crazy! I'm glad that you will be able to breathe a little easier after this weekend. I don't know the story behind why DUG isn't on his own but sounds like people need to stop allowing him to be dependent on them and start depending on himself.

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | 6 times in 8 years...????, so you mean to tell me, that is not that he is down on his luck, or he just got unemployed, or he just got through a divorce, none of that? You can seat and wait, and you can be sure that he WILL knock at your door again. Remember Tough Love is he way to go, it will help you, your family and him.

| DUG is here of absolutely no fault of his own. He believes nothing, and I mean NOTHING, is his fault. I think DH has finally realized that no matter how much we try to help DUG, it isn't going to do any good because DUG is just not willing to help himself. In fact, since DH told him he had to be out by Friday, DUG has made exactly ONE phone call. He was more concerned about which room he could watch television in than finding a place to go.

| It's a fact that you cannot help someone that is not willing to try to help themselves. When you try, what you actually are doing is enabling them to continue on in the same pattern. This is not good for anyone of you. I know you have joked about it but I also know how disruptive folks like this can be in a family (yours). I believe your home is your sanctuary from the world and if that is taken away, where do you have that you can go to find any peace and tranquility? I know you will probably feel guilty, but he will find another someone/somewhere to laze around. UNTIL....maybe, he 'gets it' and puts some effort into his life. Nobody can motivate him to do that. He has to get there on his own. I recently tried to help someone I thought was going to try really hard and get their life together. NOT! But it cost me nearly ten thousand dollars and that is one hard learned lesson. I feel badly for you and your husband. I know you do really want to help. He just won't assist you, though. I hope you get things back to normal for you and your family soon. It's gotta be stressing you out so much! _____________________________________________ |
