Patrick Mendes is in Brazil with Thais Ramone and their daughter, Aleesi. They are in town to have everyone meet Aleesi and celebrate her birthday. While in the country, they are staying at a condo he and his father, Jose, condo. However, the TLC celeb pays all the bills for the place.

The 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After cast member’s father comes over the same night they arrive in Brazil. He is happy to finally meet his granddaughter in person for the first time. However, his visit wasn’t just to see the little one. He shows up with a bucket of paint and tells his son that he must paint the condo while in town.

Patrick doesn’t mind helping out his father. However, he is recovering from an injury. So, moving around and painting isn’t going to be easy. But he agrees to do it. Yet, his wife, Thais, isn’t happy that her father-in-law is giving them chores when they are only here for a short time and already have a lot to do.

Patrick’s Family Feels He’s Being Used

Patrick meets his brother John McManus, who is also in Brazil for the birthday celebration. He tells his brother that his father showed up at the condo to meet Aleesi. He also tells him that he came with a big pail of paint and told him to paint the condo.

I’m kinda on Thais’s side about Patrick’s Dad. I’d be annoyed if the first thing he did when he showed up was ask for money and help with home improvements.
