[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 615859, member: 17269"] Hello, brother in law. What you can do is keep yourself removed as much as possible. He is not imposing on you, he is imposing on them. He is an adult, and so are they. Where does your wife stand on this? Does she see it as you do? I hope so...the danger I see is that she also feels that he needs to be supported in his lifestyle, and that that will come between you. Because, brother in law, you are right that it isn't OK for a 40 year old to live off his parents indefinitely. But for now, it is their triad, not yours. Especially if your wife agrees, I would stay out of it for now. [/QUOTE]
