I have no advice, but I sympathize with you.
Your story strikes a similar sound to ours:
I could be wrong, but it seems to me our DD has married a pretty inept and lazy fellow that likes to play sports but not do any work around the house, even outside. He goes from lower skilled jobs to other lower skilled jobs and has not improved himself. His idea of a fantastic job is one paying $25/hr.
The good side is he loves her, and is kind. We have no indication of a bad marriage.
I sympathize and certainly can't speak to your SIL's laziness factor outside of work, lol. But just wanted to send a shout out to my fellow peeps who are also average earners. To us, 52k/year ($25/hr) IS a decent salary - maybe not fantastic, but close to average in many areas. In quite a few areas, it's actually the HHI avg. Most people I know earn about that or maybe 10-20k more. These are hard workers with higher level skills or college degrees.
There are so many successful execs, docs, attorneys and other high dollar earners here, I can understand how 52k could seem lacking.
Of course - I'm sidetracking the thread - what OP describes is definitely NOT cool at all - hoping they can resolve it.
