[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 701409, member: 16024"] A couple of years ago, my D C niece (pregnant), her D C husband and their 3 kids were living with my brother and his wife (her parents). Neither had jobs, and wouldn't even bother to apply for food stamps (or if they did, they didn't use them to buy food). And, of course, they were not good housemates, didn't clean up after themselves or take care of their kids, or contribute in any way, fought with each other and the parents, just made the household miserable. My mom told me that when she visited there, the nieces husband was lamenting the fact that "families don help out the way they used to". The worst part--my sis-in-law just lost her job, my brother was on disability and was unable to work, and they were in debt and had no money. It was a desperate situation, and instead of helping contribute, they just took. I don't understand why some people are so self-centered, but they are. [/QUOTE]
