Lazy BIL

Aibu?

BIL is useless. Literally useless, needs Dsis to sort everything out for him. Doesn't know how to pay bills, she books doctors appointments etc for him, makes phone calls for things like mobile phone contract as he don't know what he's asking for / don't understand. Does a bit of washing up or cleaning when asked but that's it.

I usually help him with Xmas presents for her as in he'll know what she'd like and we'll go to the shopping centre together and get the stuff (I'll advise on size or if the colour she wants isn't available I'll suggest another etc)

This year we were supposed to go shopping again only he only had £100 left for the month after all bills because he spends on total crap and don't get paid again till the Friday before Xmas.
So he had to borrow money from his family.
Sis has then sent me pics of what she wants, I've had to order and collect everything and he send me the money.
I've also wrapped it all.
Asked him to swing past after work tomorrow to collect it all and he said can he collect at the weekend (when we are all meeting up with other family so basically he wants it fucking delivered too)

I said no I need it out the way come get it this week please.

It's given me the right hump this year - am I in the wrong to feel pissed off that he's so fucking useless and lazy?

So he’s trained your sister to do everything for him, and now he’s got you running round after him too?!

All I'm saying is I need my patio redoing...

You're in the wrong for facilitating such infantile behaviour.

Your choice.

You and your sister are both absolutely ridiculous to enable this. How on earth does your sister find this man remotely attractive?

I do less handholding for my actual child, at least they wrap their gifts themselves even if I have to take them shopping…
