People disregard the huge impact that having a spouse with different culture has when they were in love at first. But once you are married this kind of thing happens and becomes very difficult to handle. Immigrants are always burdened with this kind of responsibility....a family coming to your home and staying for a long while. Very difficult for someone from here. I feel her pain.

I’m an immigrant and it’s part of why I’m not interested in dating other immigrants. Commitment to family especially in some cultures is overbearing. While it has benefits there is also a huge stress. In those cultures you are not marrying your spouse but their family. You are expected to provide support, especially financially, without hesitation.

Caller.....the three of you need to have a sit-down and formulate a plan that launches your brother-in-law into adulthood. He is young and does not possess the life experience or emotional maturity to recognize what that is. Help him to see that and be very clear in your expectations. He may hate you in the moment but he will thank you in the future, that you cared enough to make hard decisions that benefit his future.

I was with her until she said little brother is from another country so the rest of the family is not in states. That's changes things. I feel for her but where the heck would he go at this age? I really feel for her but before kicking someone out, they need to give him at least 6 months notice and prepare him for adulthood. Maybe when he starts college he can leave to go with roommates, etc...

@texan903
@texan903 2 года назад
Being an immigrant, the way she approaches the conversation concerning her minor brother-in-law, will have to be done delicately. At 17, it's impossible to put him out unless he is emancipated. If his citizenship process is complete, maybe he can start researching a branch of the military that can get his life started. If he qualifies, he'll have medical, dental, vision, life insurance, housing, access to skills and technical training, G.I. Bill, retirement, VA loan access and other benefits. This can set him up for a future of success. Otherwise, if there's a local community college, he can check into applying, enrolling, and live in on campus housing. Should his grades be high enough when he graduates, he can earn a transfer scholarship. If he doesn't want to earn a university degree, he could study plumbing, HVAC, process technology, real estate, or another avenue that will prepare him for work, day one after earning an associate's degree or certificate. There are even business courses that offer grants or stipends upon completing the community college program, which could put him on the path to entrepreneurship. In any case, the key is setting him up for success so he has the tools to make it independently. Since he's 17, don't delay having these discussions. Her maturity in navigating this conversation will be important. Done correctly, a satisfactory result can be achieved for everyone involved. If the wife makes it about her, she will appear selfish and will shift resentment from herself to her husband.

Lack of communication in telling her about the brother moving in is highly disrespectful. A plan needs to be put into the works for this guy to be financially able to fend for himself. Helping his family/blood relatives is important to the husband, but setting BOUNDARIES for a more fulfilling marriage is more important. The higher priority is guarding the marriage. If the man really loves his brother, he will be focused on helping him transition. He will need time before he is capable of moving out and surviving, but let's start this mission

She is being placed in a very difficult place likely to either subvert or take advantage of laws. Unless I missed it, brother was not in danger I'd he stayed home in his native country. Mom was hoping to give him a "better life" at the expense of this young family. The teen is not at fault. They ought to let him finish high school then set him up for college or career, or pay his ticket to return to his family.

@SarahLarsonwgm
@SarahLarsonwgm 2 года назад
Yes, I was thinking about this too. At 17 he can't just be turned out, and without other family (parents) around the options are limited. I'm guessing there was a pretty good reason for him to move to the US and that him moving back to his home country to live with his mother is not really a possibility. So that basically leaves the option of guiding him into a future. But he'll probably need to turn 18 and graduate...at a bare minimum. If he doesn't have a visa that allows him to work, they need to get going on getting that or looking into what it will take. He could probably get started now on a trade school,. Even if he hasn't graduated yet there are programs to start trade school while in high school. And all of this should be done lovingly and supportively.

This is so coincidental to my life at the moment! My name is Joy as well, and my husband's brother from another country is staying with us for several months. There are a couple of differences. Neither my husband or I knew he was planning to stay for months. We thought it was just a short visit, so we were both surprised. We also have kids (who are not in the baby stages anymore), and we have a much larger house and we have been married for 21 years. I think that would be so challenging ina small living space, with young children, and for such an extended period of time. I would maybe say he can sleep on the couch until he is 18, but that he needs to be planning to be on his own or with roommates as soon as he turns 18.

Husband had teenage half siblings who became orphans and he volunteered to take them them in without asking her. They had been married a couple years with a toddler. This almost destroyed the marriage. However now she sees this as a blessing. Siblings are now in college and understand the sacrifice she made, they are all very close. I would suggest speaking to the husband and having some grace. This is a kid who was not welcomed where he used to live, is now in another country and ended up with you. I bet he can’t wait to leave. Set boundaries. He has to be out after high school. Clean up after himself, etc. I feel sorry for the kid, not the lady. She needs a backbone.

I disagree because this situation is quite a bit different. The teenager is neither orphaned not without his parents. He was sent here from another country by his mother. This appears to be more about wanting to live in America than about an unsafe or abandonement situation. Unless I missed it, the mom is capable of caring for her son but saw this as an opportunity to give him an American education, experience, or pathway to citizenship or green card. The caller is being used, not by necessity, but for preference. The teenager isn't the one at fault and they should do right by him. Prepare him for his independence once he finishes high school. At that point he will be an adult, have a high school diploma, and be prepared for job, college, trade school, or a return to his mom.

I don’t advocate kicking a 17 or even 18 year old out on the street either but if his parents or another relative won’t take him then hopefully he can get some roommates and go to college and they need to steer him in that direction. If all else fails, perhaps he can join the military. They will put a roof over his head, feed him and provide him with a paycheck as well as fully cover him with medical. They will also give him job training he could use towards a career.

However, my mum would not hesitation to tell my dad about expected time frame of my nephew. However, I understand in Western society relationships are partnership. So, her hubby needs to be more accommodating of her wants and needs. In my opinion I highly doubt he will move to the other place without his brother. The obligation we have for our nuclear family in our culture is just as important as the external family. I love Dr Delony, however his advice fell short in that I think his advice was not relevant to the caller because she was not telling the whole truth.

Going to give my advice bcs I had in-laws live with us the majority of my marriage…for 7 years. We started out in a 2 bedroom condo (3 adults and 2 kids, but up to as many as 5 adults and 2 kids at a time bcs my parents in-laws would come for a few months also). And then we moved to a slightly bigger home, in which case my sister-in-law and her husband and son, my husband and I and our son, and my parent-in-laws. Then I had another child and my sister-in-law had another child so that was 10 people living in a very small 3 bedroom town house. Throughout all those years of living together I told my husband those exact words….I feel like a stranger in my own home. This doesn’t feel like my home. I don’t feel happy when I come home. I should say that in my marriage there is a culture difference also….although in his family they did not fully practice everyone living together as one big giant family, but it was his culture and more so than that, they are very close to their siblings and have this strong urge to make sure they have a decent life. Very close knit. Americans in their views are a little ‘cold’ to their family….too distant. They frequently call each other, everyday sometimes and have long chats. Do I do that with my family? No. My husband finds that strange. So…I will point it out…you have a cultural clash that you somehow need to work through where both parties feel okay rather than ‘give me what I want’. I understand the frustration of space. My biggest complaint was lack of space and privacy. My husband did not really want to live without them but he understood the space issue bcs he was feeling it too. My in-laws understood the space issue bcs they were also feeling it (so I can assure you your brother-in-law probably feels that also…it’s not 1-sided). In the end we settled on we would work towards getting a bigger home. 4 bedrooms at least and if it had a second kitchen, great! But bigger home with more space so I could have privacy and space outside of my bedroom (usually I went in our closet with the door shut and sat alone when I became overwhelmed, bcs otherwise I had kids or my husband in the bedroom also). Now, I will say this. For 5 years or so of this living with in-laws, I felt bitter. I felt bitter and resentful…at my in-laws and at my husband. Over time I actually grew to kind of like it. My son had a playmate…my daughter had other people to play with besides me or her brother…I didn’t have to cook all the time and sometimes, the company (even if we did not talk) felt nice. Eventually my sister-in-law was going to have a third baby so at that point she and her husband ended up renting a home that is a 2 minute walk away, so they are still close by if we need them or they us. Often times my sister-in-laws brings food over for us that she cooked. I will say there was an adjustment at first. It felt odd to finally have more space…less noise in the house. I actually kinda missed living with them and I think they had a similar adjustment. The good news is, your brother-in-law is approaching college age. Maybe at that point you can move him to a dorm. But at this age there is no way my husband would have ‘kicked hime out’. It’s not acceptable in their culture and they view it as extremely disrespectful to ever do it. I don’t think this is a life sentence for you….I don’t think your brother-in-law will want to live with you forever. If your husband insists that be the case, maybe you can find something else to help you manage. Maybe you go out more…maybe your husband can have his brother in a hotel for a night…try to think outside the box. Either way you will be okay! I promise! It’s difficult and extremely frustrating but there will be an end one day!

The husband's main commitment needs to be to his wife & kids. Sounds like he didn't give her ANY consideration & probably won't. There was no mention of why his brother had to leave his parent's home when he was 14. The husband grew up with the brother so he's comfortable living with him. The wife just wants her own place where she can "walk around her own home without a bra on" or "walk to the kitchen in her underwear". She wants to feel free at home. Seems like since he's been in the US for a few years so maybe they can set him so that after high school he go AWAY to college or the military or get a regular job so he can live on his own. He can make a choice for his future but those should be presented as his ONLY options. As a future adult, what other choices are there? Adulthood is around the corner.

Heard about a min of the call and immediately thought - I wonder if husband and wife are of different cultural backgrounds. This is either a difference in CULTURE or VALUES. For the husband - that's his brother and that's the end of the story. He doesn't have to ask because that's his brother, his family and there is only ONE option available to him which is to help his brother. For the wife - she views the nuclear family as the priority and there is no obligation to help siblings or other family members. This is a big distinction between other cultures vs. Western culture and it is unfortunately something she will have to deal with for the rest of her life because she's married to someone outside of her culture. My mother is from another country and my siblings and I are American. The cultural gap is a constant and daily battle.

It really comes down to communication and different values.

It needs to factor all the parties and done with compassion for this tough situation. On some level though I think it comes does to different values though. If they had similar values it would be a non issue. I don’t think enough people in the comments empathise with the fact the wife also lives in that home and likely pays for it so it should be enjoyable for her too. Raising a child is a HUGE commitment. While he can’t be kicked out they need a plan in place which is discussed in advance and is manageable for all parties! It’s tough.

people…stop marrying people from other cultures without educating yourselves. This is awful…ridiculous… there are so many benefits to keeping loving family close and to being a resource to the people you love. There are thousands of people online bawling their eyes out about not being able to afford anything in the current climate. I’ve NEVER had that problem and my kids will NEVER have that problem because family is scaffolding and everyone holds up the other. We have a whole bunch of houses with some in one persons name and others in joint names just depending on where the house is. You want to adopt hairstyles from other cultures but not positive values. Feeling uncomfortable with family around is a mindset, a choice.

The husband was wrong to do this to her but it would be very difficult for him to go out on his own at 17. Maybe he can dorm at college and stay with them until this time.

Dorming at college is really expensive and it maybe only for semester. Taking out student loans to do that would be awful. That would wreck his life. If wife forced this brother in that kind of spot, she would be a horrible person.

Okay but then marry someone that shares that perspective. I’m an immigrant also and don’t necessarily share your view but I understand it. I would not be okay with this set-up especially if there was no clear direction for this child.

While I am grasping all of this of what she is saying and feeling, and Dr J’s thoughts, but I was expecting this to be a 30 year old drinker deadbeat. This boys age is more like having a foster or adopted child. If they move away the boy will be alone since his mother is in another country. I’d say let him go with and help him get on his feet where they go. Maybe he can earn enough to buy a small trailer he lives in in their back or side yard?!?

I don’t think she will win on this because where will the brother live if his parents are in another country? Unless they pay for him to have an apartment. But he will still be at their house to visit all the time because his other family is not in the country. The husband desire to reunify with his family maybe equal or larger than his marriage to be honest. That’s one of the sacrifices immigrants make to reunify because it takes a while to adjust to a new country so you need support. He might divorce her before kicking the brother out. Maybe she should start using the brother like a family member Eg he has to do chores to earn his living Eg babysitting for them while they does other things. And they need to orient him towards moving out Eg discussing his plans, college etc

I feel like he is biased towards women, and why as soon as she said culture differences he asked her if she was safe? I understand how uncomfortable she may feel but that child has been with her since he was 14 she should of had this conversation years ago and not want to throw out a 17 year old child to the streets, she’s a mom she should have the feeling of wanting to protect him and find solutions it seems she wants him out and that’s it. Did she not form a bond with that kid in all these years? I don’t know there family life but this seemed so off to me.

I wonder if she is being used as an immigration scheme. Unaccompanied minors are usually allowed to remain in the US and will likely gain legal status as the dreamers did. Not only is she in an extremely tight and awkward situation, but she may feel the angst at being used and having to cover for this scheme that encourages parents to pawn off their children in order to hopefully gain immigration status.

There is no universe where entertaining kicking out her immigrant brother who has lived and been part of the family for three years as a minor is ethical. I would be disgusted at my wife is she recommended that he leave. He is SO off base on this one. She’s kicking out her functional child of three years?!?!. GTFO. Disgusting Caucasian culture treating this as even a possibility.

This dude. Yeah it’s wrong but give a timeline when he has to leave. He always backs up the woman in any situation very biased opinion. Not saying it’s right but she never opened her mouth that’s her fault too. How about give him till the move date to find a place. Then discuss the respect with her husband and decision making. I won’t let a bum sleep at my place family or not but a kid cmon my girls family as well. Same rules, either school/work and respect my gf and our home or ur on the street that day. 3yrs and she never said anything she’s at fault too now it can turn into a major issue w the husband. Not every man commits domestic violence, very sexist toward men, she called for him to move her brother in law out not that she’s in danger. Smh. Exploitation.
