My husband, myself and our kids were one of the many families pushed out of our home after the chemical plant explosion. We had absolutely no where to go. We asked around to family about staying with them and his sister said we could come there and "help out" because she's in a tough spot financially. We have been with his sister for 3 months. I'm 36 weeks pregnant. My husband and I both work full time and make good money now.

My husband and I have been sleeping on the couch and our kids (3m and 5m) have been staying in the guest room. Well, my BIL quit his job shortly after we moved in. He sits on his computer all day playing SIMs. My SIL works full time. We pay her almost $900 a month (in weekly installments) to be here and buy all our own food (we agreed to $650 a month but since her husband doesnt work anymore she told us we needed to pay $900). Even paying $900 a month and buying our own food, we have still been able to put away close to $5k.

Well, where I'm nearing the end of my pregnancy here, I've been so tired and uncomfortable. We went and viewed a place yesterday and we move in Monday. When we got home I ended up falling asleep on the couch and my husband was out with our boys fishing. I woke up hearing my BIL running his mouth about me being lazy and taking up his living room so he couldn't do anything. It immediately made me cry (fuck pregnancy hormones). I packed up all of our stuff and just left. Called my husband, who booked us a hotel. My SIL is freaking out because we were due to give her money today but we said we wouldn't be giving her anything because we left. She says "my husband is just stressed out because he can't use the living room but everything is fine, you can come back here, it's just your pregnancy making you feel like this" but I refuse. I know she only wants another weeks worth of money from us. AITA?
