What do you think about a 25 yr old son living with his wife and 4 kids(7, 2,1, and 5mo) at his mothers house. My DH's brother is doing this. I feel sorry for my Mother in law because she is pretty much bossed around and controlled by the brothers wife (she is pure evil). My husbands mom just tiptoes around her. Mominlaw just wants to keep peace. They live off the states money and milk the system anyway possible. At our sons boyscout meeting they showed up univited and ate the boyscouts pizza. It was so embarrasing. We live in a very small town and it gets really difficult to deal with. What would you do? I feel like we are always stuck in a corner.

There's nothing YOU can do. It's your husband's family, let him deal with it. And seriously, there's not alot he can do either. If his parents want to kick out his brother's family (and they should) it's up to them to do it. Your husband can encourage his parents to boot out the freeloaders, and he can try to talk to his brother about the effect his family is having on their parents. I don't know if there are other siblings, but maybe the family's going to have to all pitch in and get these people a place to live that's not with Mom and Dad.
And while it was tacky of them to show up at the scout meeting and eat all the scouts pizza, I wouldn't make a big deal about it. Try not to let them know when the meetings are. Or have the food first, and then when they show up, it's already gone.
Best of luck to you....I hope things get better for your husband's family.

From a purely spiritual level-nothing in life is FREE! What you put forth in this life will all come back to them in one way or another! It is called "Karma" and it is as real as real can get. It is Universal Law and nobody gets out of it! Most people don't see it or refuse to acknowledge its existence. That's OK because it is what it is and as I stated, nothing is free and if you think they are truly getting away with it-they are not! It will all come back in ways they never dreamed of. Just wait and see. It may come back as illness or something dreadful like that. Trust me on this one, it will happen!

Sounds to me like you need to have a talk with these folks and let them know they are no longer welcome uninvited to anything involving your family. You are only stuck in a corner because you allow these people to walk all over you. Lay it on the line, don't be "nice", that won't get you anywhere.

Well someone needs to talk to them about it instead of everyone talking to each other. If there are enough people who stand up to them, they would know that their actions will not be tolerated.

Talk to them and tell they really need to clean their act. After all what goes around comes around.
