A bit of a Dilemma

[MaryN]

Well, I've had a day to ponder this - some of your comments made me laugh - but I realise I have wrong-footed myself by being "nice". I can see that the normal ties of family may well be short circuited by a serious societal breakdown, and I thought I would be able to deal with it. I admit I was wrong! I am now going to sit at the feet of the guru - BP!

Luckily, BIL does not drive, so the chance of him reaching this place easily (or at all) are low-ish, and if my OH shows any signs of weakening and going to collect him I shall simply handcuff him to the bed! I can not adequately describe to you the extent of BIL's incompetence. I was shocked by it - how the hell can someone be so useless. Seriously, I would have doubts about asking him to collect the eggs from the hen coop! He would be a drain on our resources and a complete liability. I am also stunned by my own realisation of how much of a mistake it would be to take him and thicko family in. Just goes to show how much of a wake-up call this Forum and the info on it has been.

Thanks Folks.
