My BIL got into some trouble nearly 3 yrs ago. He was living with my mil and fil in East London. Dropped out of college, no job, sleeping all day, out all night. He fell in with a group of coke dealers and got busted. The raid didn't find anything in their house except weed, which is such low priority the whole stash got left behind.
Anyways, long story short, only me and dh were willing to give him benefit of doubt. Dh dropped everything and put up his bail money, brought him home from Brixton Prison. He was on a tag for a few months. I got him a voluntary job at BHF charity shop. Court appearances dragged on. He was charged after a year, but was the only one from the gang given a suspended (ie non custodial) sentence which finishes in Jan 2013.
We got fed up with him moping around the house, sleeping till 3, so dh made him go for a job open day. Luckily, he got it cos the CRB check came back clean (lucky, it hadn't been updated at that time )
Now he's been working for nearly two years, been a good boy (he's 23)..... But he pays no rent, makes zero contribution to the household and is living like an unpaid lodger, not a family member.
Now, I have 3 dcs, the eldest is nearly 11 and she is starting puberty. She really needs her own room, not to be sharing with her two brothers any more.
AIBU to think BIL has outstayed his welcome, and should start standing on his own two feet?
Advice please. I want him out, tactfully! God I had no idea he'd be with us so long
