My Father-in-Law the Sponge

My husband and I will be married twenty years this July. We dated for four months before he asked me to meet his parents. My reply was, " great," I'd love to meet his parents. He had told me a lot about them, especially the fact that they farmed for a living. My husband was raised on a thousand acre farm. From the sounds of that I didn't know what to think at that point, but I was in love with their son, not them.

I had already got acquainted with his mother over the phone and had only spoke to his father when he would occasionally answer. I was a little nervous about meeting them for the first time. Friday came and time to meet his parents, I in a way could hardly wait and on the other hand I didn't want to go. There was a nice dinner planned and when I got there I felt like I already knew his mother twenty years, as for his Father, well, that was a little to be desired.

All he wanted to do was complain about everything, nothing was in the right place or he wasn't happy with what was on the TV, it didn't matter, he had nothing kind or nice to say. He couldn't look at the good side, it was always the bad side that he knew to comment on when he did speak. The man has no concern for nothing or no one but himself. I have seen him walk in and see someone watching the TV, and if he either didn't want to listen or if there was something he wanted to see, he will turn the channel, regardless of anyone else.

He has to be the complete center of the room and conversation. If the subject isn't about him, he finds a way to turn into being about him. My mother-n-law waits on him hand and foot, no matter how he treats her. One day we bought a ferret and took it over to show her and he literally paced back and forth from the silverware drawer acting stupid as if he couldn't pull open the drawer and for a lousy spoon to dip his food with. He would make remarks about the animal getting more attention than him. My mother-n-law was in a severe wreck and we had to take care of her during this stay and he walked up to her knowing she was flat on her back and not able to work and extended his arm out for the cable bill payment. Needless to say, these things are just a drop in the bucket at how this man is, IS A SPONGE!

He does not want people around his house, he is rude to the neighbors and wont offer nothing to anyone. He never has nothing to smile about, and you can't tell him a joke. The only thing this idiot has done in his life was go in the army for two years, and he makes it sound like he was in long enough to retire. But yet, we seen him at Christmas run his nose up another woman's butt and rubbed it into his wife's face, we all seen it also. You can only imagine how far that went with us. This man will die a lonely old man with nothing, he is not liked by anyone.

Everything in this article is a drop in the bucket to what this pampas ___ does to his wife and family.

This will change one day and this man will have to fend for himself and I hope I will be there to see it happen.
