More proof that in-laws aren't perfect (well, no one is, but y'know)

Posted by Canis, 15 December 2014 · 932 views

I'm coming up on my 18th month since moving here to Maine.
I've lived with my bf's parentals for nearly that long.

They're great people for the most part. However, his dad is racist as FUCK, loud as FUCK, and super childish ( "lol i'm right ur wrong shut up"). His mom is just irrational, and they both believe ANYTHING on Facebook because they're Facebook addicts.

Oftentimes it's said that all Erik and I do is sit around staring at screens (laptop, tv, phone/tablet, etc.) and that we need to get out more. Well ya see, we WOULD get out more, if we had the means/money. Erik's friends work odd hour shifts, I have no friends up here besides his. The weather is shitty most of the time--snowy/cold/icy or holy-shit-hotter-than-satan's-asshole. When it actually is a nice day though, we DO go out and enjoy it. I'm also pretty good when it comes to getting at least 10 minutes of fresh air, regardless of the weather, as the air here in rural Maine is MUCH better than the air in Houston, Texas.

Now, I know every person has their faults and whatnot. My problem is, if you expect something of me, don't be a fucking hypocrite.
Example? The screen thing. They literally do nothing else besides sit on the couch, TV on, but they have their reading glasses on and scrolling through Facebook on their phone. (How do they not run out of things to look at on Facebook? Do they just refresh their Timeline until they see something new, rinse and repeat? Older people are a mystery when it comes to Facebook addictions.)

Another thing, most recent, is the dishes. Neither Erik nor myself have a problem doing them, ever. But the thing with his parents and dishes is that they like to leave their lunch containers/tupperwares from work CLOSED. They just come home and toss it in the sink. Sometimes things get moldy, spoiled, and gross and they just don't give a shit because they KNOW we'll wash it. It's fucking disgusting and gross on so many levels. You can imagine the disorienting odor that comes from opening up those containers to wash them when they've been out there for several days.
The REAL big one is when they cook something and don't even bother to let the dirty pans/pots soak with water. It's a nightmare trying to clean them.
Erik and I are the only ones who do the dishes ever. I've tested this. We've seen them pile up the dishes in the sink until you literally cannot even wash your hands because it is so full.

His dad is the worst. He's REALLY OBNOXIOUSLY LOUD during sports programs and the show Cops. He literally does nothing around the house to help out. He doesn't shower often. He either on Facebook and watching TV or upstairs tying fishing flies. Sometimes he stays home from work just to do absolutely nothing at home, but when anyone else stays home because they're legitimately sick, he gets pissy. Like, really? Wow.

The racism from his father is a whole different topic that I'd rather not get into. Let's just say that he's not fond of POC, but thankfully he "tolerates" me, a POC.

His mom doesn't like the idea of us playing video games. She's absolutely against it. Which is weird because apparently she used to be really into Halo. Like, REALLY into it. She almost got a "Halomom" license plate or someshit.
Anytime we try to explain video games and art and music or anything of the sort, it just gets sorta ignored. Like, gee, thanks.

Anyway, I'm mostly upset that his dad LITERALLY DOES NOTHING.
I'm so sick of hypocrites.

I dunno, I'll add more to this when I can calm down about the whole ordeal.
Erik and I need to get well-paying jobs fast. We need to get back on our feet. We need to get our own place and out of this shithole (I say shithole, but only through the household members. Other than that, it's not a shithole). Ugh



Your first mistake was moving to Maine. :p

Maine isn't bad. I obviously understand the weather thing because it's the EXACT same next door in New Brunswick. :p Aside from that just grit your teeth and bear it until you can get out of that place. I have a monster in law too >.> Evil I tell ya.
