This is going to sound ridiculous to all who read it, but I'm 22, my "father" is rich and I have a son, who's five, which was obviously an accident.
My half-brother, my mother's kid, had a kid when he was 19 and unlike me, he didn't decide to go to school or get a job. He moved in with our mother in her 2-bedroom apartment with his 2 kids.
Since then, she's had 2 more kids and he's had 3.
Keep count. That's nine people in one two-bedroom apartment. Their landlord said nothing.
When I figured out about my son, I spent some time with his mother, allowing her to live with me, despite that I could barely stand her. I broke up with her and threw her out of the house when she confessed that she'd been sexually involved with my aforementioned half-brother.
Now, she's moved in with them and the two babies she's taking care of (only one of which is actually her's) and there are 12 people in the house. They're in debt, despite two minimum wage part-time jobs in the household and the welfare money. The landlord told them that they need to rent another apartment, which they can't afford, if they want to stay in the building with that many people.
Here's where I fit in. My "father," used to rent out houses and has given me two small houses to sell. My half-brother has asked me to give him a house, which would get him, my ex-girlfriend and all of their children out of the apartment, bringing the headcount down to 3.
The issue is, where did this become my problem?
Is it really my responsibility to help my idiot brother out of his own self-inflicted financial injury?
Would you give them the house or let them get thrown out on the street? They're freeloaders who have no where else to go, but I don't want to give them a house, primarily because my ex-girlfriend wants another baby, once they move into a house and I think they've inflicted an insane enough amount of offspring on the world.
My best idea is to attempt to get the three of them deemed mentally unsuitable to have children. Is that possible?
I can't make you believe me, but I can beg for your advice. These women are insane and they're addicted to babies.
If I do nothing, they're all out on the street.
What do I do?
First off I'd make sure that you have/get full custody of your child. After that, well, sometimes it's best to just let people be. Sure you'll get a horrible reputation with that part of the family, but you're not actually responsible for your brother. It's difficult to tell a family member no, but sometimes it is what has to be done because no one else is telling them no.
I wouldn't give up a house at all, even in the current times houses are worth a lot of money. You could just rent that house out if you can't sell it.
Child Protective Services. The children are the only ones who cant/arent able to care for themselves. The children will be placed in foster homes and fed well, have a place to sleep where they won't have to share a bed with more than 1 person (if that), and have decent clothes on their back. Let the adults fend for themselves, get out and get jobs, and be productive citizens---if that's possible.
I wouldn't GIVE then anything they would have to buy it just like normal people.this is not your problem it is theirs.the thing with them is they have too many handouts and don't want to be responsible...don't let anyone make you feel like you owe them anything because you don't...
let them figure it out on their own ... refer them to HUD and section eight housing- quickly
