its been tough for me and my husband of late, because we only have one income now. before i was working a part time job with min wage my wages would basicly pay for childcare so we decided that i would be a sahm, plus i feel its better for my son. anyways my husband just became a assistant manager ( hes only been doing it for 6 months) for a large grocery chain and hes working his way to store manager so hes sal at 45,000 a year. which is quite a bit of money, but we still have bills to pay of course and 3 adults(my brother is living off us for less than 200 bucks a month which he barely pays that) and a baby. so we have been cutting back the little things, like dish tv, smoking( my husband quit, yay) no eating out, etc.. i decided to turn texting and internet off my phone and which saves us a additional 40 a month. and my sister says " can i ask you something? if your husband makes so much why cant he pay for it? " i was pissed she doesnt work and her husband makes 11 dollars a hour they get free health care and food stamps she has no room to talk about cutting back. i just dont feel like it was any of her business

Yes I would be pissed.  I'd be pissed at myself,  that I'm allowing my brother to live there and he's being a mooch.  I would be kicking his ass out.

thanks its hard for me to just kick him out, cause of all the *** that is happened to him. gah i am too nice i think my husband might be and the verge of kicking him out soon anyways. hes 22 but acts like hes 18 its not party time anymore, i guess we will see what happens about my brother soon.

AFter you're 21 (unless you have mental/physical issues or handicaps) you should be on your own.  No one is doing you favors by buffering the reality of life.

hes been on his own since 16 my parents kicked him out. but i understand were your coming from, hes 22 and hasnt even started his life yet.

I understand it's your sibling.  I hope I didn't come off as harsh, but I have no sympathy for someone who watches their sibling struggle with motherhood, bills, etc.. and just sits on their ass. Not cool.
