Weird thing is, her parent so cool and normal

Not if they don't call out their son for crap like this

I don't even know him but I detest him

PortlandBlue

Even thought it is weird, he doesn't have to provide you with internet.

blueaussie

7/5/14 11:54am

What about dial-up?

WhiteMud

7/5/14 11:57am

He also doesn't need to babysit or control adults.

Texas Hammer

No but it is his house and he can do what he wants there as long as it's legal.

blueaussie

"Legal" and "jerky" are two different things.

Cougar-Duck

7/5/14 12:17pm

OK. no one said what he did was illegal

Nope. And I don't "have to" support him and his wife

I totally agree with you there.

What an odd comment

Bravescoug

7/5/14 12:04pm

Why is it odd?

blueaussie

7/5/14 12:10pm

He doesn't have to provide water and a toilet either.

BluePete

7/5/14 12:12pm

That's true. I hope he was at least nice enough to do that.

Bwhahahahahahaha.

WDaddy

7/5/14 12:21pm

Again, why is it odd? Just wondering.

blueaussie

7/5/14 12:27pm

Because it takes more effort for the BIL to withhold internet than to provide it

srey

7/5/14 12:38pm

He does this in front of extended family, can't imagine what he does in private

mosterlow

7/5/14 12:42pm

I understand him doing it is extremely odd, but Bravescoug said my comment was

You seem like a lot of fun.

It's true. I typically charge $4.99 a night when guests are over.

Here's probably what I'd do...

BluePete

7/5/14 12:06pm

If it didn't make my MIL sad that we can't get along, it's exactly what I would

byu1

7/5/14 12:13pm

The MIL probably wishes someone would have called him on it years ago.

BluePete

7/5/14 12:15pm

I called him out about 7 years ago at a family reunion

How old is this guy?

WhiteMud

7/5/14 2:50pm

Someone needs to do it, don't let MIL control you, step up and end it now

mosterlow

7/5/14 12:24pm

But but but, he doesn't have to provide you with AC

WDaddy

7/5/14 12:33pm

I tell my kids to put a quarter on the sink if they use his bathroom

mosterlow

7/5/14 12:37pm

A discerning person would provide his kids with a

BluePete

7/5/14 12:43pm

That is probably what he needs. Someone to tell it like it is.

blueaussie

7/5/14 12:13pm

Have you tried asking him to turn on the internet in baby talk?

TonyStark

Honestly, I'd simply tell him in front of the entire family

mosterlow

7/5/14 1:10pm

I like it

WDaddy

Ever thought that he's trying to get rid of you to a hotel?

Alister Mackenzie

Definitely weird. But you knew he was weird
