[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like you need to have a serious conversation with your DH about BIL. Lay out your expectations clearly. No home improvement projects. No smoking. No this, that, or the other. Explain what you are okay with, clearly. In turn DH needs to have a serious conversation with BIL. If it doesn't happen, make your point obvious - "BIL, please don't smoke in our yard. Smoke in your own car if you have to, no exceptions." "We don't need to do x,y,z home improvement. DH needs to spend time with his kids." "Tonight isn't a good night to hang out, see you another night, bye." BIL sounds like an a**hole, don't let him walk over your family and home. Have a voice in your home if DH isn't going to speak up. If BIL doesn't like it, what's the worse that can happen, he'll stop coming over. [/quote]
