Crazy Neighbors Thread

Advice. I normally do pretty well on taking care of my stuff. It's when it impacts other people I'm not too great at.

My niece that I have almost nothing to do with lives with a guy. They have lived together for almost 8 years now and have kids. I know this makes them common law or whatever. Well they bought a house (and his name wound up the only one on the paperwork). They signed the paperwork and he got laid off the next day. They have a FHA loan (I think) and it requires them to hold onto it 6 months.

Well I got all this second hand from my mom which was concerned for her grand daughter. Anyway I know the place her "husband" works and it's pretty small and he had just started not long ago. It's standard there and in the industry to put people on probation to start for a certain amount of time.

I made some calls and he was told ahead of time this was a job that was a placeholder and may/may not lead to anything and was given the talk ahead of time. Specifically he was told it was kind of an "in training" type of job even tho he has a MS.

Should I open my mouth or let them sort it out?The wrinkle is in the meantime my niece has a good business going doing dog training (she's also a vet tech) and has people coming from 4-5 hours away just to have her train the dogs and he's not keen on her now making more money than her.

The only reason I have any interest at all is it's bugging my mom and she has enough on her plate now with breast cancer, me being sick etc..

Give my niece a heads up that he knew he had a chance of it being a short term job. Apparently they are having other issues as well. Maybe let her know that something is fucky. I dunno. I don't hate my niece, we just don't share a lot in common.

I'm beyond the asshole stage. I haven't talked to her in over 10 years. Just my mom is talking about the stuff my sister tells her and my niece. Niece is trying to balance right now of moving to somewhere she doesn't want to live or staying where she is and keeping her business.

My mom told her to talk to an attorney right off. There's no possible way I really could come out any worse or better, just trying to butt in only if it might help just so my mom stops stressing over it.

I've always been the evil redneck neither of my nieces want anything to do with. What's really funny is the other niece came to thanksgiving with her fiance to let him meet my parents. Me and him hit it off real well. We sat around and play guitar together since he's in a band and he mostly plays classic country so we sat around and shot the breeze for a few hours. My niece wanted to shoot me when I said he seems OK to me, just be aware you're about to marry someone a whole lot like me. Oh the humanity. My niece almost came unglued when I said "Gay guitar pickers don't turn me on", which is a line from a Hank Williams Jr. song and he not only knew it - he knew the man and we did the song together. LOL. Oh the horry.

Well basically I don't care what she winds up thinking of me, not going to get much worse. Just want it to work out to not be a total screwing in the long run so my mom doesn't stress out over it. I thought the guy was bad news from the start. Everything is about him. Kids have his name, even tho they're not married. House had to be within 10 minutes of work because he couldn't drive further than that. All kinds of crap.

Heh. Chromebooks for both parents the best investment I ever made.

Sister, she didn't sue she just threatened.

The good thing is no matter how big of a pain in the ass I've been lately living with my parents due to my medical issues my parents always say "You don't have nothing on your sister".
