To dislike my husband's younger brother

So my lazy brother in law decided to move over with my mother in law to our place. He signed up as a student in one of the college and told us he will get a job. He actually did but it only lasted for 4 days and he then, gave us so many excuses. He's 26 ffs!

I got pissed because he gets up only around 1pm daily. He's freaking messy and it's an eye sore looking at him being lazy around my house. My MIL is perfectly fine but both she and my husband, pampered this dude so much that he became who he is.

The fact that we are paying for everything while watching him enjoying his lazy life without even helping around the house made me so frustrated.

I really don't know what should I do. My husband is siding his brother and here I am, having to suffer. This was not what I've signed up for! I'm just too tired to hold another conversation with my husband because things will never change.

Should I just move out of my own house???

Why have you let your mil and bil move utterly bizarre.

Nope tell him to get a job and contribute to the household bills.

Change the wifi code.

Stop cooking meals.

Do not do his washing etc.

He needs to grow the fuck up.

  1. He's not a child.

He ships up or ships out.

If DH doesn't agree then you divorce as you can't live like this.

I did not agree way from the beginning but it was my husband who told me to give his brother a chance. I thought he gonna change but I guess I was wrong! It's depressing.

Explain to your husband that he and his brother can find student accommodation together and live the life of slobs away from your marriage.

if he can’t agree that this needs addressing and he needs to have a word with his brother then I’d be making bil life miserable. He’s have no privacy. I’d be vaccing and noisy at 7am. Badgering him nonstop about housework.

if he doesn’t work then he has to contribute to the house in other ways. He must become the household skivvy.

Tell your husband MIL and BIL need to be gone by Friday.
