Few months ago, I was here asking for ideas on how to reduce the crowd in my house. A situation that saw my sister in law, her son, as well as my brother in law all camping in my house.

Currently, sister in law left 2 weeks ago, after insulting both me, her mother and my wife. Just because we addressed her ill characters.

The current issue now is my brother in law. He's been with us for 3 years plus and not talking of moving or starting his life.
Every morning while leaving for work he takes food along with him as well as enough water(3 or 4 bottles of water). He has been working for almost a year now, and at least changes his phones every 2 months which even baffles wifey. I initially said he should leave after December. But the young man is not showing signs of leaving.

Please how do I handle this without raising bad blood?

Your wife is in the best position to handle it

Wifey is so attached to her family that she can't even talk to them. Always wanting to show sympathy for them.

Tell him yourself then, not plainly though.

You can just ask how far has he gone with his accomodation plans.. In your way

Then if his sixth sense doesn't come in.

You have to tell him point blank. You've tried

Thanks. Will try talking to him. The problem is that he is so laid back. Maybe because he is seeing free food, water, and a comfortable room to sleep in.

Tell him that you want to talk to him man to man.

That he has started working for some time, has now reached the point he should be talking of settling down and getting married. To aid this, he needs to now get his own apartment so that he can bring home visitors freely and generally start life. If you are generous, you can tell him that you would support him in this endeavour by giving him a certain amount. You would be expecting that by xxxx (mention the month), he will be able to get an apartment.

If the month you mentioned comes and goes and he doesn't move, you have to give him an ultimatum. That you have given him accommodation until he got on his feet, it is now his time to do same for others. He has xx months to leave your house and be firm on it.

Forget about bad blood and push dis young man out!! Who bad blood epp,na today??. Isnt it obvious dat dis man is using u guys. Na so e go dey una house build him own mansion with his savins while u pple keep feeding him.
Funny enough,its people like him dat would always talk bad about u pple in d future,even wen u supported him all thru. Oga,stop being sentimental n do d needful!!!! Ur brother inlaw is very selfish

Like you were told on the former thread quit worrying about the unpleasantness that will come after you tell him to move out! It will be unpleasant either way you decide to do it so..............Just tell him!!!!


instruct your Mrs to also stop providing food for him to take to work- he should buy with his own money!

The guy is something else. Not even behaving like he has plans to start a life. Someone that will soon be 34

Nobody dishes food for him to take to work. He will wake by 5am to microwave soup and make garri he will take to work.

I weak my brother. A complete man living off his fellow man

Over to those who deal with such “messes”!

Not in a marriage that deals with in-laws.
I don’t interact with any of my husband’s folk and vice versa! I don’t interact with my siblings spouses. We have PEACE!

Sorry, not into “communal living” or PEPPER SOUP GATHERINGS OF FRENEMIES.

Life is tough enough being married. The issues within the marriage are more than enough.

We only see when it is a “common” gathering.
No visiting or communicating unnecessarily.

If I need money, I go to the bank and BORROW at 2000% interest rate then PAY TILL I DIE!!!!

wow.34 and still livig comfortably in the sis home.bros abeg we are squatting with uooo.he has no shame sef.
call the man and tell him its time to go,what fuckery.he may even be one of those nairalanders that claim i'm my own man and mind my business.

The thing tire me. Personally, I have made up my mind and equally inform wifey, that he isn't staying beyond December.
Someone that moved in 3 years ago. I fed him, cloth him, provide transportation and some pocket change to feel cool. At least he has gotten a job for the past 8 or 9 months.

Seriously wondering if he has plans of growing up

CircleOfWilis:
Kanwulia!!

Muhehehehe

There are SOOOOOO many reasons I can NEVER live ANYWHERE but the WESTERN WORLD.
Dealing with PHOCKING BUSY BODIES AND NEVER DO WELLS? All in the name of in-laws and “friends”?

Meeeeeeee? Going to camp in someone’s house or spending a day at a “friend’s” house?
I’d rather go to a ZOO and observe animals or DRINK HEMLOCK AND DIE!!!!!


Just imagine? IN-LAWS camping in MY HOUSE?
Or some YEYE friends coming to visit?

WITCHES and WIZARDS fall ON THEM!

He won't exceed next month. I have seriously tried.

At first I kept mute about him taking meals to work because he just started working and might not have been paid. But after 9 months he is still doing same.

Funny bt true...however living that kind of life is only obtainable in western world ....You dear not try isolating yourself from ur husband's relations, u will tagged a witch....U will even bcme a prayer point at homes and In church/masallaci

If you think this guy will leave without a shove, you are on a long thing. Family members are the worst when it comes to overstepping and entitlement mentality. As far as he's concerned, it's his right. There's no how you will make him leave without looking evil. Why not just get it over with already?

I quite agree with you. Will stand firm about him leaving after December

If you have a fridge in your room better ask you wife to pack up the soups into that fridge! Or better still she should make enough soup to last each meal so he doesn't have any to take to work!

Shameless man, living off an inlaw! His younger one's spouse mcheeewwww

Stop hammering on this after December matter get it done now!

So by December he would have left!!!!

The problem is always the beginning. Things you allowed at the beginning of things will always affect you at the long run.
You should speak up like a man in your home and set boundaries. No one have the right to go to the kitchen save your wife or anyone she sends there

It seems to me that your wife is in their plan and do not really want to end it. If you are the one buying the foods, then you must speak up like a man. There comes a time you don't care what any one does to you or how anyone looks. Its a time you speak sharply and take decisions that will change your life.

You don't love people more than you love yourself.

babythug:

Simple, but he will allow it till December then the man will tell him to give him 3 months to sort himself out. At the end of the third month, he might have forgotten himself. Then by November next year, he will come back here singing same song.

Indeed you get my point!!!!

Is well. Will work on that.

Wifey cried the day I asked the sister to leave. Imagine staying for 3 months after gradually moving in

I clearly get your point. From the get I was in the picture of him coming to put up with us to look for something doing.

My mom in law pleaded with me, which I consented to. But I guess the young man is just lazy.

Not that I can't ask him out right now, but considering that he came through my mom in law who has done so much for my kids(raising them single handedly while I and wifey works). I always want to consider her.

But in all, he has to go as he has decided to forget he is a man

Inasmuch as you want him out, tty as much as possible to do it without creating bad blood. Before being aggressive about it, try and have a nice talk with him. Don't assume that he would react negatively.

I am sure after seeing his sister being asked to leave, he would have already started making plans but just saving up money to move.
