I Need Your Advice

Hypothetically,

“ A wife and husband (married approx. 1 ½ ) have separated after a tough few months. The husband moves out. The wife stay’s in the apartment but to keep it she had to pay rent but at the time has no way to do so, so her mother strikes a deal “ Mother: you let your little brother move in and I will pay your rent until you get a job. The wife agrees” the little brother just got out of a stint-in and was currently on tether. A few months go by and the wife realizes that the little brother is walking all over her and not trying to do anything to better his situation. After about Four months the husband and wife start speaking again and decide that they want to work it out and try marriage counseling while moving back in together. How should the Wife and Husband go about talking to the Wife’s Mother about moving the little brother into his own place and paying just his rent?

Why don't you have the means to look after yourself without your mother's help? Why are you so dependent on others to survive?

I'll not give advice on how to go about talking to a mother that enables her children to stay children by not allowing them to sit at the banquet of the consequences of their actions.

I say get yourself a job and find a place with your husband that you alone can afford. That way if you and your husband break up again (likely) you'll be able to survive on your own.
