Can his daughter lose weight and find new parents because these two are failing her. |

| Well, her dad could take some responsibility. It's not all on the SIL. |

I think that's a lot for your BIL to ask of you and your husband. I think if I was in this position I would tell BIL that you're happy to share your meal plans, shopping lists, etc. with him, but you don't feel it's your place to talk to her. Part of this is a relationship issue that's none of your business, whether your BIL sees that or not. BIL wants his stay at home partner to cook healthy meals and his partner won't do it. That's in no way your issue to get involved in. They should go to a marriage counselor. BIL needs to take charge of his own diet, just as he'd have to if he didn't have a wife. If you have time on your hands and want to help him, you can place grocery delivery orders. Can BIL get his teen involved? |

MYOB OP your SIL is an adult. This is her life not yours. If her DH doesn't like it he is free to leave. This is their business, not yours. Stop being so judgy. |

If your BIL cares then he can address it himself. That said if they are paying for so much takeout why not pay for a prepared meal service. I had a family member lose a lot of weight with Sakara but there are many more affordable options out there.
Also if there are mirrors in her house she knows she’s obese. |

| Buy her a red dress and yell "HEY KOOLAID!" when she puts it on. |

| Only read the first post but working 60 hours a week is not a lot. Plenty of time to cook, especially if you have teens who are more independent |
