Explain that you don't want him to choose between you and his brother but he either has to leave, or you move out with your daughter has to be the only option. The other thing you could do is comprimise and say to yoyur husband, if your brother begins to pay rent, lets your daughter have that room for privacy,let his brother have the den and make sure his brother starts living a more calm life. Tell your husband hes in charge so its up to him what yo do but because you rightly put yourself and daughter first its you or his brother, good luck :) xx [ cocomac101's advice column | Ask cocomac101 A Question ]

Put yourself in his shoes, this can't be great for him either. You all need to sit down and discuss what the best solution is. I would recommend you and your daughter and fiance finding a place elsewhere and leave the grown up room mates behind to start looking after themselves. [ Pook's advice column | Ask Pook A Question ]

Ive been there before. You need to sit down with your husband be like hey I really understand you feel sorry and you care about your brother but I think we as a couple should pick a dead line. Giving your brother a month or 2 months to find a job and help with the bills or he needs to move out and in the mean time you have a lot of people in the home set up a schedule where they can each wash the dishes once or twice a week or do laundry give him something to do around the week so you all arent stressed out and feel a little bit better about the situation right now im married with 2 kids my father and my cousin all live in a smal 2 bedroom house.

I agree with Razhie on this one, You don't have the right to kick out your fiances brother this is your brothers house not yours and your fiance needs to make that say.
I'm confused on how you allowed him to move you and your daughter into a home that is occupied with other people? I would post pond the wedding until you both are on the same page. If he chooses not to have his brother move out then this is were I'd begin to pack my bags for good. At 40 years old he is old enough to care for himself and figure out his situations on his own.

dearcandore answered Tuesday June 28 2011, 7:09 pm: How can you start a marriage together when you don't even have a home together? Your daughter doesn't even have a room? How'd you let that happen? Bad idea. When you marry you will need know that your home is your HOME, and what you want is important. Leave there and delay the wedding until the living situation is sorted out. Trust me, if its bad now, it will seem 100 times worse AFTER you're married. You have to have these problems ironed out before you say idea or they will come back to haunt you worse than you could have ever imagined.

Razhie answered Tuesday June 28 2011, 5:45 pm: It's your boyfriend's house, so your boyfriend has to be the one to remove him.
If your boyfriend won’t do that, then you need take your daughter, move out of his home, and delay the marriage until your boyfriend is willing to help you provide an acceptable home environment for your child.
It's really that simple. You have no legal right as a fiancé to kick his brother out. If your fiancé won’t remove this brother, then you need to remove yourself and your daughter.
Give your fiance a month, no longer, to remove his brother. Your child needs her own room, and you need to be in a marriage where you do not have to support a grown man fiancially. If in 30 days the brother is still there, pack your bags. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
