[quote=Anonymous]You people are ridiculous.  If BIL was truly busy with school then he wouldn't have time to come around now either.

If I understand OP correctly that is the issue.  Why does he suddenly have free time to come over now.

BIL sounds young and selfish.

Unfortunately OP isn't clear on what she asked of BIL to do,  but in the end I don't think it is s too much to think he might stop by and play with his nieces and/or nephews.  Even if he didn't like OP as someone suggested, or maybe especially if he doesn't like OP, I would think BIL would stop by occasionally to see the kids, maybe even take them out to the park to get some time away from OP.

I feel for OP.  After a year of absence, BIL is now constantly at your  house and I assume he's eating your food and staying for dinner you likely cook. It would burn my butt too.

OP is DH husband aware that BIL was not around while he was away?  If these brothers are close enough that BIL is over regularly I would think DH would want to know that his brother can't be counted on.

So OP, as long as you aren't looking for BIL to stand in for your husband while he's away, I think it is perfectly fine to expect to see him occasionally while DH is deployed.
