My husband has an 8 year old BROTHER (well, almost..he'll be 8in August) and he still sleeps and showers with my inlaws. He has a bedroom but he doesn't sleep in there, and the two or three times he did (about five months ago) my MIL had a baby monitor in his room! He also showers with them, still. I know it's none of our business, but my husband and I are worried about him because he isn't maturing at all, and acts like a child or 5 or 6. On top of all this, he is very very jealous of my son (who is 1) and he drives us crazy. If my MIL is trying to hold our son, he is in her lap, too and climbing all over them! We have had problems in the past with him actually hitting and kicking my son. We didn't go around for a few months and my MIL finally dealt with it. He still plays too rough, but it's improving. Anyway, what should we do? My MIL isn't the most adult person, either so I don't think she even realizes the problems she is creating by babying him like she is.
