My bil really gets on my nerves sometimes Hes 48 never married often spends time here. Fine he plays with the kids but does he have to be so loud running allover the house with them no room is sacred and i hate people in my bedroom he often opens my wardrobe while playing hiding go seek with dd presses that dont need to be opened cos she wouldnt fit in them.if there is something on tv kissing or whatever he has to comment like a teenager would makes me soo uncomfortable he also seems to have a nervous thing where he scratches head vigourously with both hands and stamps his feet while in a seated position and makin some kind of noise (like a release iykwim)I get that he's probaably lonely
but ahhh just needed to get that off my chest.

Lol he sounds a lot like my BIL apart from the last part.

Also, as mad as he is...my BIL wouldn't dream of entering my bedroom and nor would my kids.

That's just plain rude..tell him in no uncertain terms to stop.

He doesn't sound that bad to me, does he get on well with the rest of the family?

You could say off limits to your bedroom, meaning the kids aren't to hide there either. His games with the kids sound nice!

Maybe i am being unreasonable but i stress out easily!

Bedrooms are just generally off limits, even to the DC Grin

He sounds immature and irritating, but at least he takes the DC off your hands - kind of.

Put your feet up and let him get on with it, I bet your DC love him.

Could he have Tourette's? Maybe along with something else. I would tell him not to go in my bedroom ever again. I'd ask him if he realiizes he scratches his head with both hands and stomps his feet. Does he have a job? I can't imagine that would go over too well in most workplaces.

Does he live with his parents still? He does sound like a man with the mind of a child Confused

He wants to spend time with your dh, dc and you so clearly he loves you all. In terms of BIL problems yours is very very small. He may be a PITA but all families are like pick and mix - lots of sweets and a few nuts.
