Horrible Incident At The Inlaws

post #1 of 27
Thread Starter 
Last night we went to my MIL and FIL's for my FIL's birthday.
We were all having a good time and the kids were playing good. Well my brother in law who is a complete a hole, was telling Austin about the Boogey man under his bed that he is going to eat him, etc. Rich told Scott nicely to stop it because with Scott saying that to him in the past it has given him nightmares. Like 2 minutes after Rich told him to not say that, he said again to Austin that the boogie man is going to come from under his bed and eat his feet. Rich told him again, stop saying that scott he thinks you are serious, and he told scott to use his head and think about what he was saying to Austin. Fine, that was it. They all still played nice and Scott went upstairs. DIdnt care where he went. Rich goes upstairs to get a pop, and he comes downstairs, so MAD and says, were out of here, were leaving. Everyone wondered what happened. Well turns our Scott called out house, and left a message on our answering machine that he didnt appreciate being dis-repected in his house, which it isnt its his parents house and he is a loser who is 35 with no job and livign with mommy and daddy. Anyway, he said on the machine that Rich is lucky they are brothers or he would have to slap him around, etc.
Well when rich went to get his drink, scott got in his face and told him he called our house and left a message and he was bumping into Rich and tell him he was going to F him up and nobody disrespects him.
When Rich came down and told us we were leaving and what happend, little Scott came flying down the stairs and started argueing with Rich again about it, the guys started yelling. Richs mom was trying to get them to stop. Scott cant figure out that when we tell him to stop something with OUR child that it is giving him nightmares, he thinks its all a joke. He says Austin knows he is joking, etc, etc. Well i stared boiling inside, because this butt hole isnt up with kid in the middle of the night when he is screaming that there are people under his bed.
Out of know where i flew off the couch and let his brother have it. No i didnt hit him, I lit into him like a rolling fire!!! I screamed Your not the one who is F ing up with him in the middle of the night and you think this is a big joke! And honestly i cant remember what i all said to him. He ended up calling me a B. He says to Rich no wonder you and your wife get along so well. I assume he said that because Rich and i were both yelling.

Then he says yeah, i like how you guys swear in front of your kids. I told him, yeah like you are a great role model for them.
Then he tells me to get a job, so i yelled to him get a job you f in loser and move out!!
Then everyone went upstairs. I was so horrified about what happend i was shaking and crying. That is not like me to act that way. My SIL stayed downstairs and comforted me.
When we went upstairs we just got our coats on and left.
When we got home we listened to the precious message from his brother. Rich then called his parents house to talk to his mom and scott answered and told him mom was busy and then started threatening him again. and then he hung up on rich. Rich called back and his mom answered. They were told as long as Scott lives at that house, our kids will not be going over there. Well Richs mom got all upset about that and says we are punishing her because of Scott. That is not it at all, they are wonderful grandparents, but our children will not be around that man ever again. They now have no Uncle Scott. IF she is mad at anyone it should be scott and she should thank him for not having her grandchildren at her house anymore with him around.
As far as christmas goes, they will have to come here if they want to see the kids, we will not go to their house if scott is there.
And they were told if scott threatens Rich again or touches him or comes on our property, the police will be called and we have the tape from the answering machine to prove his threats. We have no problem putting him in jail.
And the thing that makes me and Rich so angry is we know nothing will be done about it. Sure they may have argued with scott but he will be still living there. And while the arguing was going on, they never stepped in. My MIL was telling the guys to stop but that was about it. Nothinng else
Rich was so upset about all this he was actually crying last night, he hasnt cried since Brandon died so i know he was hurt deeply, because he feels like his parents think he is the bad guy. But I stand behind him 100%.
What would you do if you had a relative that kept saying things to your kids like they are a stupid kid and telling them that the boogie man was going to get them?

Scott is a real jerk. Too bad he can't get drafted. I wouldn't say anything to him from now on. He's a big bully and you don't need that in your life.

Ugh ... nothing like the holidays to bring out the best in folks. Some days I'm glad my family is REALLY small.

Try not to let it ruin your holidays and maybe one day Rich's parents will wake up and see what a leach their other son is.

Jenn,
You are doing the right thing! I wouldn't let my kid around him either. If his parents are going to step in and not let that stuff go on in THEIR house(NOT Scott's house) then I suppose they will just have to go to YOUR house.

Scott sounds VERY VERY immature and needs to grow up real quick!

He truly is Dawn, they give him spending money, she cooks, cleans for him, and they let him get away with all this stuff.
In the summer Scott got into a fight at the bar here in town and really messed up this guy, sliced his head open, etc. And Rich was called to it with the fire dept to help treat the guy for his injuries. Scott said to Rich last night he was going to F him up like he did to the guy at the bar. That was a low blow because Rich knew what he did to the guy. The guy was in the hospital for a week!
Rich should have just called the cops on him last night, Scott has a great track record with them now.

If he keeps threatening you all, I would call the police. Let him know you are not going to play games with him!
post #8 of 27
You have totally done the right thing, even though it really stinks and I hope the boys' grandparents will get their butts over to your house instead of missing out due to that SOB.....
post #9 of 27
I would be there right behind you. You did the right thing. How come when he was disrespecting you ( by saying all that stuff to Austin when you asked him not to) that was OK in his book? You did the right thing and it was probubly what the majority of us would do
post #10 of 27

You did the right thing!!!
I'm behind you and your hubby 100%%%%!!!!

If I heard someone telling Kyler about the boogie man being under his bed... I'd loose it. I wouldn't even give them a second chance. Never minding the rest of what happened!!!
I'm SO sorry you had to go through all of that!!!
I'm so mad FOR you!!!

It sounds to me like you're doing the right thing!

My parents are dealing with the same this with my brother, He works but only gives them $150.00 a month. He and his girlfriend live there and never lift a finger to help them.

I do not go to my parents house often because of the incident that happened at our home during the holidays when my brother had an argument with Tim. I was pregnant with Michael while under bed rest for pre-emclampsia and I started hyperventelating during the incident. Tim was upset and blames my brother for causing me stress that week that we had Michael prematurely.

I have since forgiven my Brother but I feel uncomfortable around him since he has stolen from me and my siblings in the past too.

I hope your parents understand that Rich is the good son and not the bad guy. They need to stop "babying his brother."

Rich went over there a little bit ago to get his snowmobile out of his parents yard. We dont trust it there with Scott at the house. We wouldnt put it past him to do something to it.
I told Rich if scott approaches you at all, walk away and if he starts his crap again, to call the cops.

Is he back yet? That is just sad that you have to go through this right now

yep he's back! no one was home.
post #17 of 27
Seems like he's not the brightest bulb on the tree, that's for sure. I'm still not clear on how being told not to tell a scary story to a young child made him want to F anyone up. Sounds a tad unstable, to me.

You are wise in just staying away from him. Keep in touch with your MIL and FIL, but sure as heck don't go over there with the kids. Even if MIL is upset about it, I'm sure she realizes, deep down, that it's best.

Hope things improve for you!

I am so sorry that you have to deal with a jerk like that. I am proud of you for sticking up for your family like that.

I would be super pi$$ed if someone told one of my kids there was a boogie man under the bed! And then continued after I told them to stop. You did the right thing Jenn and I am just sorry that your inlaws are not more supportive of you! Stay away from the jerk BIL and if he causes any more trouble I would call the cops right away!
post #20 of 27
Omg, what an !! I would be just livid!
I'm sorry that it had to upset you on what should have been a nice visit. Try not to let it ruin your holidays.

Thank you so much for all your support girls! It means alot. It helps us know that we made the right decision. The only thing i regret is yelling the way i did, that is so not me! I just lost control.
Rich is going over there to get the kids Christmas gifts so i can wrap them. I was supposed to do it over there but i dont want to be around scott at all.

What is WRONG with people!
post #24 of 27
I don't blame you for disowning Scott. He's such a I would have yelled at him too and told him he is never allowed back in his nephew's life any more. That is ridiculous that he did not respect your wishes about Austin and didn't do what Rich told him to stop teasing Austin.

I talked to my MIL yesturday for a couple of minutes to figure out what time for christmas day. My SIL is going to have us all over at her house, minus scott. But get this my MIL said she is going to be busy cooking for dinner at SIL's so we cant get together until 2:30, well we have to leave by 3:30 to my moms for dinner. So she said we can all meet at 1:30. So the boys will get to spend a hole 2 hours with grandma and grandpa on christmas day. Rich is so fed up with everything he has been saying they can all shove it and we are not going anywhere. I told him whatever decision he choses, I will stand behind him.
Why does everything have to be so complicated

Oh and Rich stopped by there yesturday afternoon to pick up the gifts and his mom was super quiet with him. He said he tried to make conversation with her but she wouldnt really talk to him. So he asked her what her problem was and she said, Im just tired i just woke up, considering this was at 1pm
When i talked to her she wasnt her happy self, she was quiet and to the point with me. My SIL said when she has talked to her on the phone, she is the same with her, just very sad and upset.
I was my usual happy self when i called, and Scott answered. So i said, Hi Scott is Mom there, he just said yep and that was it! Nothing like making someone more mad by being nice to them!!
