DHs family assuming he's going to bail them out.

DH is the most well off out of siblings, we have 1 DD who is 8 and I have a middle income job we are currently wanting to upgrade to our forever home.

MIL has been paying for one of DHs brothers for years he has three kids and MIL paid for a 5 bed detached a new 20k car for them she's paying them £2000 a month for bills and expenses . Me and DH pay our own way a part from a little gifted deposit when we bought our first home.
DH has worked hard the problem is MILs savings are all gone, and there is nothing left for the youngest brother.

MIL has said to DBIL that DH will "help him out"
DBIL then asked DH for 6k to buy a car!!
DBIL is not even working at the moment so has no hope in paying him back.
MIL is supposed to be retiring soon and it seems they want DH to fund his brothers lifestyles. She keeps saying oh "DH will help out "

DH is very stressed and feels like he's working very hard to not even possibly enjoy what he's worked for. I don't want to bail out DHs entire family when we have our own DD to think about and we possibly wanted another DC.

I'm very annoyed that

Youve got to stand your ground here. Just keep repeating that you do not have funds available! Time for BIL/SIL to get jobs 🤷🏻‍♀️

Tell middle bil to sell the house and move to more modest accommodation… they can then afford the private op and house deposit
