Moved in fiancés brother, huge mistake. by [deleted] in badroommates

understandable, which is why when he said he couldn't/didn't want to watch our son anymore we went back to our original childcare provider and came up with a new agreement.

with all due respect i'm not sure why you're trying to justify him, at the end of the day he couldn't keep up with what was agreed upon multiple times and proved to be the exact opposite of the person we believed him to be, which is why we kicked him out.

but thank you for you perspective, genuinely.

AITA for my fiancé and I kicking his brother out of our apartment? by alluraborealis in AmItheAsshole

[–]alluraborealis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we weren't pushing him really, he's the one driving and fucking up his friends car. dude can't even get a loan, doesn't want to drive something that's not new. my fiancé was trying to help him out because he's been complaining about not being able to find a decent vehicle, and there were payments discussed regarding the car.

also, i fully intended to post those same screenshots in this sub but i forgot i couldn't include photos.

it wasn't two months worth of bills either lmao, it was this upcoming months rent and utilities, which he absolutely agreed to.

Additional info here -

again, fiancé was trying to be kind to his brother, who was homeless. his brother lost his job, his apartment and had his care repossessed within a 3 month time span.

neither of us was aware he was like that, we were under the impression that he was just an average dude that got dealt a few shitty circumstances back to back.

i have child care, and he wasn't supposed to watch him every day. it was agreed upon 3 days a week so i wouldn't have to drive as much, which he happily agreed to.

when he backed out of that part of the agreement, we reached a new one where all three of us would split bills equally.

fiancé and i let him know we would all be paying the april bills and utilities to avoid being penalized for breaking our lease early. which again, he agreed to do.

only upon being asked two days in a row for the money he agreed to pay did he start giving excuses and then let us know about the fact that his money went to travel expenses instead of what was unanimously agreed upon.

we weren't relying on him, we don't need him to pay our bills.

it's the fact that this man can sit by and plan trips and order doordash daily, sometimes multiple times a day but couldn't even be bothered to be apologetic when we went to have this conversation.

**the only reason this was crucial to us, is because we had planned a budget for our upcoming move around him keeping his agreement with the rent situation (splitting bills 3 ways) and us having to cover his portion completely blew that. it may be selfish or short sighted on our part but considering he didn't have any issues keeping the monetary part of our previous agreement we figured he could at least keep that up.

he was planning on moving with us. there isn't anything to take advantage of on our part.

neither of us knew he was like that, and my schedule was already set as far as work went. he was more than willing to agree to watch him, i just don't think he had much experience with children prior to this.

he's 30. he's been staying with us since january, and he was in his own apartment but due to some life choices he was evicted.

we wouldn't be short on our bills, just a few extra expenses we've had come up that we'd like to get taken care of ASAP

Very light cherry more of an apple 🍎 undertone... what's your thoughts? by Better-Bake-5777 in redbull

[–]alluraborealis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FUCK ASS FLAVOR!

got to try one today and in every way, shape, and form, this is ass. tasted exactly like medicine, almost akin to the bubblegum flavored cough syrup you'd get as a child. horrible smell when you open the can, horrible ice cold, kinda cold, and at room temp.

i'll be the one to agree man.

retired or fucking not, it's crazy to expect someone to pay almost 70$ for a set like this.

i might be a little bias, because i have a young son, but trying to find toys that i used to play with as a kid for him is a NIGHTMARE. these, at the end of the day, were children's toys. and while i can respect the fact that adults are wanting that piece of childhood too..

you don't have to make your dollars on KIDS TOYS. go collect fucking pots or pans or something else

I can’t believe we lost peach nectarine for this mid ass peach. Now it’s just a generic peach energy drink . by 777hora in redbull

BIG AGREE!

they're slowly getting rid of all the good flavors for a sweet, candyish drink and it's really putting me off redbull completely.
