A follow-up to "No son, you don't have to pay rent this month" post a few weeks ago

Well, SS22 never paid RV rent on 3/15.
3/28 - DH text SS22 asking for rent money.
3/30 - SS22 told DH that he could probably pay $200-$300 towards RV rent.
3/31 - I text SS22 "just touching base w/you to see when you plan on bringing the RV money by". SS: "I'll try to bring it by on Monday".

4/4 Monday: I text SS22 early a.m. "When do you think you'll be coming by?" SS: Not sure, been busy, I'll try to come by around 7 if I can get off work". Then DH text SS saying "Tina will be home most of the day Tuesday to bring the RV money by." No reply from SS and he never came by. But I saw SS22 post something on snapchat Monday evening at 6:12, he was at some park w/someone. Of course, not working, that was a LIE.

4/5 Tuesday: Never heard from SS all day. I then see where SS posted he was with his friend riding in his friends truck at 4:45 pm. Never heard from him. So I text him that evening "well haven't heard from you today re rv money...will you be bringing it by tomorrow?" Of course no reply

4/6 - DH text SS22 saying "seems like you're brushing us off".
SS: "Sorry Pops, I don't mean too, just busy."
DH: Well, ur almost 2 months behind, which means I'm also behind on the RV. It's called responsibility!"
SS: Yes Sir.

I then asked DH if SS replied and when he planned on coming by. he said IDK. Uhm ok.

WTF?! 3 weeks later and still no rent! And it's 9 days away from SS having to pay this months' rent. I'm getting so frustrated, but it's not for me to DEMAND it from him. And if I did, SS would just have another reason to add to why I'm an evil stepmom and I'm a bitch.

Yep, if it were me, I'd done something by now. I already thought of all those cases. Just dropping by, or changing locks, or up and moving the RV while he was at work. I would do that, but of course not the DH. DH text SS22 again today, saying he's not showing very good responsibility etc. SS22 said he'll bring by some of the money on Saturday. I said what does he mean by "some"? SS22 replied saying he'll give us $200 Saturday, more on the 15th, and the rest on the 31st, Hmmmm....OK!NOT I'll believe it when I see it. SMH, wish I could take things into my own hands.

The longer your dh leaves telling his son to pay all what he owes for rent the less likely he is going to get any rent, what's owed and any going forward.

Why is your dh willing to risk his and your credit for his son.
