[QUOTE="Star*, post: 79687, member: 4964"] WOW!!!!! Just wanted to say until March I was a pipefitter too so I know how hard your hubby works. I worked mainly on mainlines and infrastructure for water, sewer and stormdrains. I hate HATE ductile pipe. On with the issue at hand: My best advice to you would be let them get their own life in order. You are allowing yourself to take on WAY more than you should. If the cat is there and no one is feeding it? Give your son in law the ultimatum: Feed and take care of the cat or I take it to the shelter (give day) and stick too it. It must not have been a "favorite" pet of anyones since it seems all have basically abandoned it. And as far as peeing on your carpet? If he was declawed this may NEVER be resolved. If he's not declawed this may NEVER be resolved either. Tom cat pee smell is horrific. Try spraying the area with a little white vinegar and water. As far as the bills piling up on the bed? Not your responsibility unless the bills are coming from YOUR house. Don't worry about them. It's not your worry to own that problem. Taking someone back and forth in your car? Um....lets see, that's gas, time, oil, wear and tear and most business pay .47 a mile to transport. You also need to set a date with them and say "By this day you either have a car or take the bus." It won't kill them and you'll have one less gripe. (or rather 3 him, her and you taking them) Honey, I only say this because I've been there and done that for my x's family over and over. It sucked the life out of me and I had NO time left for me. Never again. You have choices in this. I hope you lay down the law and tell them you're not a door mat, and won't have them wiping their feet on you, your husband who works INCREDIBLY hard at a very DANGEROUS job, and you both deserve your peace. BE a warrior mom.....AND A WARRIOR MAID....AND START CLEANING HOUSE. Hugs for your insanity. Star [/QUOTE]
