[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My SIL moved in with us after she lost her job and couldn't afford to live on her own. The first month she seemed to be applying to jobs and talking about what her plans are, but she hasn't been on an interview and for the past 4 months, there have been no signs of applying.

My husband and I both work so we are gone most of the day. But SIL hasn't really left the house since before Christmas. Its not that she's living with us that is the problem, [b]we have the space and she helps out a lot with cleaning and household chores. [/b]But she has contributed nothing financially to assist.

We pay for all the food, rent, electrical, etc. I just worry she has lost her way or motivation. My husband keeps saying she has no where to go and its her age. Shes 24. I don't want her on the street but for her sake, I'd like her to go on a walk, get some fresh air, apply for some jobs and start living her life. [/quote]

She is contributing.  That is good.  Concentrate on that.

Where are you located?  You may be able to plug her into some help.  In Vienna, there is the Women's Center that is set up to help women in exactly her spot.
