[quote=Anonymous]Don't know what culture you come from, but we are Indian and have similar cultural expectations with family. BUT no one even back home in India would do that for an able-bodied grown brother. If you think that ultimately it will come to it, I understand that it's almost impossible to let the brother be on the streets no matter how much you don't want him in your home. That's a tough situation OP. One thing I can think of is to encourage MIL to figure out some way of having passive income for the brother and connect him with some agency that can help him figure out some work from home. Where are they living right now? Do they own the place? It might be a good idea for MIL to buy a place with an in-law suite that can be rented and will give BIL some income when she is gone. And as hard as it is to talk about it, you have to talk to MIL and DH about how BIL moving in is just not an acceptable solution for you guys. [/quote]
