Just found out one of my brothers, one who's depressed and drinks far too heavily, has asked my sister B. to move in with her and her husband. She's due to have a baby, her first, in ten days.

I don't know why, but I just find that kind of wrong. She shouldn't have to worry about him too.

No, she shouldn't. Hugs!

Oh, she so doesn't need that kind of stress. I know that family loyalty is important, but she can't help him and her baby will need all hter attention.

I hope she has the courage to say no.

I'd tell him (politely, whatever the family dynamics are) to take a hike - go find somewhere else to live for a while. She really doesn't need that kind of crap. Not at this stage. If it's her first baby, she won't have ANY time for him, and you know how guys get when they feel the woman isn't paying them enough attention when they should By Rights be catered to.

And he's being particularly selfish/unthoughtful. WTF is he thinking?

I hope your brother-in-law and sister tell him he can't stay. It's a disaster in the making.
