And it's annoying. It's not life altering, it's not the worst thing ever, but it's annoying.

DH has a "nephew" from a "sister" that was never fostered, adopted or a step or anything. She was a troubled kid that stayed at their house sometimes but was mostly in a group home. This nephew is.... special. What kind of special, I can not say because he has never been diagnosed to my knowledge. But he must have something wrong with him because social security recently decided he deserved a check every month.

In the past 2 months, the kid has blown thru 6 grand. He is now calling my BIL I hear every hour for more money. BIL is calling DH. Nephew is calling DH. So DH is getting all wound up and bent out of shape because this kid (adult- 23, 24?) is so irresponsible. Which is nothing new. His BM coddled the crap out of him. He's never had to be responsible. He blames everyone else for his problems. He is living with his dad and grandma now, so he has no rent, no food bill, etc.

So Why does he need money so badly? Is it Possible to spend 6 grand on scratch off tickets and magic the gathering cards? In 2 months? And why does DH feel the need to become So emotionally involved?
