I've caught up with the full thread and it seems to me that the parents here are hardworking and caring. They have five children (no mean feat to manage, organise, care for and love), dad works full time; mum works part-time - with five children that's double time all the time in anybody's language. There's no clear information but the six year old might have been the unbudgeted and unplanned baby. In addition the parents have supported the eldest to get to uni already. That all sound pretty awesome to me and I understand completely how hard it is to increase income and have enough to fund a bigger property in those circumstances. Am guessing we are talking about hard working and thoroughly decent people here who are trying to do their best.

The OP is concerned about the way the family is operating and it seems that the OP may be providing a rental property and have a larger property she could let them live in although this isn't entirely clear.

You know what, families should look after each other and I reckon this family is doing their level best to do their best. If I were the OP, actually I would cut them some slack for two or three years and let them have a bigger property until a child or two more is independent.

What goes around comes around and all that sort of thing. If they were in LA accommodation they'd probably have a bigger home and if you can help then I think you should.
