I know where you are, Gren. In the short story, "The Cask of Amantilliado, E.A. Poe makes the comment that if you're going to attempt revenge, your target should be well aware of what you're doing, they should know that YOU'RE the one carrying out the deed.

However, I have to go with Urgeok. This could cramp your relationship with your BF, even if he seems gung-ho about it now. Familiar pressure to be angry at you might break him down.

Vengence is a bitter sweet conception. I know, because I'm extremely vendictive. When someone crosses me, I pull out all the stops. I'm not proud of this. In fact, I'd really like to suppress my devastating "mean streak."


Like Urgeok said, the best way to get her is to point blank tell her:
"Look, my BF and I do not appreciate your constantly trying to
bum money from us. You need to get a job you'll think you like
and go for it. Both he and I are in school to follow our chosen
path. We cannot support you and your child. His parents have
already raised the two of you, and it isn't fair for you to place
Your burdens upon them. Find a job, even if you have to start
out small."

Pranks make a point, but they WILL come back on you in the end.

I wish you the best of luck. Try the up front, honorable negotiation before you launch an attack that you can't take back.
