I have an uncle that live in our house, he was an adopted son of my grandmother, therefore he's my mom's brother, he lives with us, he is 30 years old and he doesn't have a job, because he don't want to work, he always sleeps and goes out with his friends at night, sometimes drunk, he sometimes steals money from my pocket, that makes me mad. sometimes i lose my patience and want to punch him but im worried about my mom and punching is not a good thing to do, how can we handle this situation, or how can we evict him from the house? my father is losing his patience too.

He can come about his ways only with realisation of his mistakes. The only reason you may be tolerating this would be because of your mother. She may need to be tough with him and get him to be on his own feet. It's better something is done about it now before he does something which puts all of you into a problem.

yeah, my mother only do that because of my grandmother, she is sick and my don't want to hurt her feelings, that's why his brother abuses our hopitality, and my mother's kindness, my mother too is losig her patience, but his adopted brother was still useless.

Since he is only boarding on there which shame
he doesn't have. It's better to talk with your
mom about his stealing habit. He might do it again
if not apprehended. He must find work and stop
drinking. What he thinks of himself? King of the
jungle?

Haha, that's what my father told my mother, who do he think he is a prince or a millionaire. how can he buy his needs, like his clothes, or personal things like deodorant, underwear, he is not a child anymorae, and his on his productive age.

well, even if he is useless, jobless etc etc, after all he is relative. we can ask him without being rude to find a job for himself and get a house. if he is still refusing to work, we can tell him that there is no value for jobless people in this world and try to change his mind.

yes sir, we did everything, my mom even makes his resumes for him and applicatin letters, my mom also finds work for him, after a few months he was fired because of many reasons, then he'll back to his work as useless.
