Being An Ingrate

[@kay22100]

She probably never would’ve asked for it back if he wasn’t out splurging!! Pay your sister back. And they are very generous to him. The sister communicates her feelings very well

[@yeahWhatever301]

What I love about about Judge Milian is how much she value family. Anytime there is case involving family she turns into a mom.. we should all cherish GOOD family- NOT all family. I would never lose someone I truly love over a thousand bucks- to have family that have your back is invaluable.

[@carriepriegel6477]

Agreed 👍 yes, they have HIS back and that’s priceless. He owes them the $1K regardless, mainly out of respect just as she said. He’s very selfish and disrespectful 😬

I’m glad the judge had them hug, I hope that started a true reconciliation between them 🙏🏾

[@carriepriegel6477]

It will happen when he matures- addicts remain the emotional age from when they started using. I see it in my own 2 brothers🙄

[@mclaybry]

Everyone should strive to find a companion like the Plaintiff. He's calm, understanding, and caring. That kind of love is so hard to find.

There needs to be more men in the world like the plaintiff. His wife is a stand-up person as well. They are such kind and caring people. As for the defendant, take care of your business first before going on vacation. When I went on vacations in the past, I paid my bills first. If I couldn't afford to go on vacation, I didn't go.

[@dylanmh31612]

He is blessed to have an amazing sister and brother in law but he takes advantage of their good heart shame on him

[@leggs4113]

I remember this case. His sister and the brother in law are amazing!

[@aprilpinketon2567]

He’s one lucky guy! I am the sibling that cares and there is no one ever there to care for me! It’s sucks, but I am okay with it, bc it’s so much worse to feel used up all the time. What’s even worse is when you have to eventually turn your back on your family for your financial future and sanity. You start to feel your self worth lowering every time you give in to them. But, I am 3 yrs in of saying my first no. Now they don’t even bother to ask anymore.

[@Beautyandbrains1969]

I watched this one twice. It’s the good human decency of the husband and sister that warms my heart. I hope they’re doing well today ❤

[@K_Cole0128]

Judge Mathis calls them drugish ways

[@K_Cole0128]

Crackish ways

[@shadowxoxo]

A junkie sometimes can’t run from that narcissistic attitude. Could have taken 1k off the truck and pay the sister back. Could have done a lot of things to pay back or show to pay back. I don’t even blame the plaintiffs for not accepting a payment plan. I gave my brother 1400$ and it took him 3 years to pay me back. Every payment plan was broken and I was chasing the money.

[@AlisMarsaili1351]

I loaned a neighbor $2000 a year ago never got it back. At the time I figured he would never pay me back. I don’t loan money if I can help someone I give it to them knowing they most likely won’t pay me back. In other words don’t loan money unless you need live without it.

He may be clean of drugs, but he has a lot of growing up to do. It's not your family's fault you struggled for years because your addiction used up all your money. He needs to stop making excuses and thank his lucky stars he has people who love him so much.

[@martinboyle9163]

What a liar! The brother made it sound like his sister offered, when it was proven that he asked. The defendant IS an ingrate! He has no excuse.

[@BobBlumenfeld]

Judge Milian: "Where is your wife? Is she in the courtroom?" Plaintiff: "No." Plaintiff's wife raises her hand. Priceless! (This is why they have several cameras (four, I think: One each on the judge and each litigant and one broad view) running at all times. You never know when they'll come in handy.)

An episode I could watch over and over again. Amazing couple. I hope the brother wakes up

[@BobBlumenfeld]

The little girl is with THE DEFENDANT'S grandmother (2:55)? No great-grandparent should have to take care of a seven-year-old.

[@millysmindtrip1179]

This same exact thing happened to my sister and me. I wasn't worried about when I going to get the money back ( even though I needed it) because I thought she was struggling too. Then I saw her buying all kinds of things she didn't need. That is why things went bad. I understand once a person starts making money wanting to enjoy it but first responsibility is to pay back the people you owe. The people who were there for you. Even if they don't need the money back you still should pay it back as a show of gratitude. Also, if you ever need them again why should they help you if you didn't appreciate the first time.

[@SuperCHERISHED]

Your character is revealed when you don’t pay back money you borrow!

[@NellieKAdaba]

True

[@queennola3039]

The Judge is trying so hard to make him feel guilty, but he doesn’t..the guy just doesn’t / didn’t care. Even in court he continued to make excuse after excuse.. He acts like he is the victim.

[@madmaxofspokane1691]

I feel bad for the Plaintiffs. Being generous enough to help the defendants out. You've got 2 recovering addicts that have hooked up and their spending every last dollar that comes in on themselves and nothing in the bank for a rainy day. And why isn't she working?? The odds are that he'll screw up and lose that job and he and his girlfriend will end up losing every frivolous item that they blew the money on, and his sister and brother-in-law aren't going to be so willing to get burned again. And back on the opiates once again to cope with their failure to manage their debts.

[@janicester]

The Judge saw through all this nonsense and brought them together with that hug. You can tell a lot about a person by how they handle their money. As in...do they pay their debts or do they keep taking with no accountability or shame. I give my son a little bit here a little bit there and then I get to the point where I have to be firm and say, "Okay, now you will have to pay that last one back because my bills need to be paid too! Hate even having to say that. Embarrassing. I should never have told him how much I have in my savings account. 🤣🤣🤣

You could see the pain in here eyes and hear it in her voice. Although I’m not related at all or know them but I truly want to say thank you to the Judge for asking them to hug.

Every time I see this case I think that judge is so MF nosey and messy to make that lady get up. Not because she wanted to bring them closer but because she wanted it to get Juicy for more mess between them. The husband was doing just fine. She just can't stand when a woman won't speak up. In this case it wasn't necessary to put her against her brother. He already did plenty of damage by being an A-hole who skipped out on paying her back. He makes 70 an hour. He could've paid that back in a week with no payment plan needed if he wasn't a user. Reading all those texts were unecessary tho.
