Hubby finally confronted his father!

Tweet

Unfortunatly I was not there to witness it, I only heard the account of what happened when my husband told me about it. It happened Saturday. Apparently my husband was pulling into a gas station when he saw his father pulling out. My husband pulled his car in front of his father's car to cut him off. Hubby gets out of his car, walks around it, and goes up to his father's driver side door. He hands his father the keys to the house and the old car. My husband then tells his father that he'll need a tow truck to get the car, the gas leak has gotten so bad it won't even start now, and will not hold the gas long enough to get the car anyways. FIL is confused, and asks who's car is it that hubby is driving. Hubby tells him that's his new car, he bought it a week ago. Hubby is quite satisfied by the look on his father's face! See, my FIL was quite upset with us when we purchased my van. Up until that point hubby and I had been sharing a very small Cavalier which belonged to my MIL. We of course could not fit 5 kids in this Cavalier. FIL did have a car sitting in his drive way he could give to us, but refused to. So we ended up buying my van. We didn't pay much for it, and owned it outright. FIL was a little jealous, because my van is only a year older than his, but he's still making payments on his, and my van was paid for outright. We aren't exactly sure why, but FIL was not happy about the fact that we had 2 vehicles once we bought my van. He demanded that hubby give MIL her car back. We fought him, saying we needed both vehicles. I can't be left home with all the kids and no vehicle! But for some reason FIL did not want me to have my own car, especially not when he only had 1 working vehicle. It was either he wanted ME to suffer, or, he just felt he always had to have better than us. Well, now hubby's new car is the same year as FIL's van, also completely paid for where as FIL is still making payments on his van, and hubby's car is so much nicer than FIL's van. So needless to say, FIL is extremely jealous!! So, apparently, seeing that his father was jealous of his new car was enough to satisfy my husband. He failed to mention anything about the fact that we'd moved out, or that we own our own home, or that we no longer need them for anything. So after hubby tells his father that he bought the car a couple weeks ago, FIL has the nerve to ask if we have any money for him!! My husband says no, tells him never to call us again, and walked away! It's not exactly how I would have handled it, but hubby is satisfied enough!
