I work from home and for years, some of the work I do is for my father-in-law. I do not get paid for this. He does not communicate with me. He does no co-operate with me. I have resorted to writing stern memos, to no avail. I have to wait months for paperwork and when I receive it, it is too late to re-concile. He continually leaves cheque stubs blank and I must suck the info out of thin air. He has just phoned me demanding to know why I have not issued a certain invoice. I have said (over and over) that I am not invoicing until I receive some required paperwork. He says "oh but I have it here, so just do it". On Friday, he didn't even remember about the paperwork. He was patronizing and condescending. I blew up at him on the phone just now saying that I don't know how he expects me to do my work when he doesn't bother to do as I asked (and require).
My husband says I should lay down an ultimatum and tell him that if he does not "come right", I will no longer do his books. I KNOW he will not come right so to me the ultimatum is fruitless and will just cause tension amongst us all.
As father-in-law - with nothing to do with work - we get on just fine.I am shaking I feel so mad right now.
Thanks for letting me vent.Sabrina
