Nobody likes a mooch. When you're going out on a limb to help someone, especially a family member, and they treat your generosity with the same disdain as an entitled teenager, the 'woe is me' act starts to get old. Mooches usually know when they're being a mooch, because their insistent moochage saves them the trouble of doing things for themselves. A professional mooch, a 'parasite' if you will, can sometimes get so co-dependent and so useless that it requires a pretty strong kick in the keister to get them moving along on their own again.
That's why, when one man on Reddit (u/RedDevilsAus), was faced with a down-and-out brother in law, he had some tough decisions to make in order to preserve his household, his marriage, and his own sanity. OP's brother in law was in a pinch and moved in with OP and his wife, which quickly turned from a temporary favor into a long-term financial burden.
Scroll for the full story of how one man motivated the moochiest family member to get on with his life, by taking away the thing he loved most: His gaming console.
