Ugh I have inlaws like this, thank goodness they have no children. The wife works a minimum wage job - she's in her 50s - and her hubby is just, well, plain lazy to be honest. He will not keep a job more than a few months, either gets fired or leaves when he has to work too much for his taste. And the jobs never pay much. They've moved in with other SIL/BILs several times over the years. Last year when it happened for the umpteenth time my SIL/BILs had had enough of taking them in and said nope, sorry, can't do it anymore. They wound up staying with other in-laws and mooching off them awhile...the hubby stayed with his inlaws, the wife stayed with one of hers, for months until they could get an apartment again. I personally will not take them in. I have worked for years and years to support myself and my own family. They could support themselves if they both worked, period. He chooses not to and she is ok with it. Their decision, their choice, can't tell 'em what to do but I would just tell them no, sorry that does not work for us and we have no room for you. Nope nope nope. Now, if it was a family member with a terminal illness or disability I might feel differently and help them if I were able to do so, even temporarily. But not the adults older than I am, who choose not to work. [/quote]
