How can he live in their basement, steal their credit cards, not work full time and not be manipulating?

Are you bugged because he is taking part of your inheritance? If so tell

We care because we feel he is not progressing and seems completely content.

Then you should stay quiet. Caring about the money is more reasonable to butt in about.

I did not read that as he lacks permission to use it. If he is stealing then I would address that point.

is he using credit card? or stealing?

They kind of turn their head and let him swipe, but I've heard them complain

And if it is about money, still be quiet. It's not your money.

I disagree. Better to say your piece and move on. If my kids thought I wasn’t being fair to them I’d want them to tell

Sure, it's not our money. But do you plan on giving royal treatment to ONE

My parents' money is not my money. They can do whatever they want with it. And if they feel like one of my siblings

I disagree about the issue of discussing inheritance with your parents. However, I do agree if it is on the in-law side

Parents can do WHATEVER they want with THEIR money. Inheritance should never be expected.

IMO it's your parents doing. Sound like empty-nesters that enjoy the company.

That's on his parents. If that's what they want, then fine. But they can always tell him to move out and start

Are you parents bothered by the arrangement?

They each blame the other for allowing him to live there. When you get them

Yep. It's bad parenting to not do everything to help them be on their own.

I think it's fine to share those feelings with your parents.
