Hi, I have a major problem my brother works abroad and his wife and children live quite close (within walking distance) to us. From the day they moved in they have visited our house a teatime everynight and sit at the table at dinertime expecting to be fed with our family. At first we didnt mind, wanting to be polite but its now almost two years later (thats right I said TWO Years later) and they are still arriving everyday at the same time eating a meal and then leave. I have a young child who is expected to play with the children who are much younger (almost entertaining them)while parents sit and watch tv.....dont know what to do have tried subtle hints and nothing is working!!!!

I admit I'm so about this that I'm half wondering if it's a wind-up. 2 YEARS????? Are they having a laugh?? I'd have started getting twitchy after 2 nights.

Try sticking a big sign on the door saying' the kitchen is closed, piss off'. Then go out and enjoy yourselves! Fgs, what happens if you or your family are I'll, don't you go on holiday? This is dreadful!

This should have been stopped long ago. The other woman must be LOVING it, no cooking to do in the evening, someone to look after the children.
Slave! in other words. The worm has turned!
