I'm gonna try to make this as short as possible. My DH and I have been married for nearly 3 years and have lived in our home for 2.5. 6 months after getting married we got pregnant with DD. My FIL decided to come visit us from our of state...no big deal. He ended up staying 4 months and had no car...it went from being a visit of maybe a few weeks to a nightmare. I was pregnant and very hormonal, working full time and every night came home needing to entertain my FIL...for 4 months. Needless to say, after many arguments with DH, my FIL went home. Flash forward about 6 months. My BIL needed a change of pace and decided to come stay with us for a bit. He was incredibly respectful of our home, and actually got a job while he was here just so he didn't feel useless. He ended up staying about 2 months and then moving to California. Flash forward another 2 months. My other BIL, who is only 21, was in need of a job. We were in the process of opening up a business and decided to have him come live with us and help us out. He has now been here for 8 months. He doesn't respect our home, doesn't change his sheets, put his dishes away, take garbage out etc. when he needs to do laundry he will take whatever is in the dryer out and throw it on the floor. I've been telling him time and time again to try to pick up after himself and he doesn't get it. My DH typically gives his the benefit of the doubt bc it's his little brother and he feels sorry for him. But I think it's just very rude. So tonight shit hit the fan. We ended up getting into a very huge blow out. My BIL asked me if we could find "common ground". And I responded with "no". I said because it's my house, it's my ground, end of story. He felt that my remark was disrespectful and went and cried to my husband about it who then got angry at me for being rude. I just need to know....am I the crazy one? Also, how Do I get DH to understand hat living with his family in our home is really not ideal and that I have had enough?
