Hey there!

So-my boyfriend and I are expecting our first child together. I am having issues with his parents a little bit and I need advice on what to do. We get along. I like them and they like me. We chat a lot and I even am around when he is not. I feel very comfortable with them and we don't really fight etc.
My boyfriend is living with them (well his mother moved to AZ for a job but still owns the home and his dad still lives here in our state in the home). He is living with them to help with bills and remodeling the home. He is very loyal to his parents. His dad moved into the garage to leave the master bedroom empty. They have now thrown there son (my boyfriend) into the living room to sleep/live. His sister has a room and pays 200 in rent a month. My boyfriend pays more a month in rent then she does. I also help every month with needs such as everyones t.p, shampoo/cond/cleaning things etc. I also pay for ALL of the food in the home and often am at the store constantly grabbing this or that. Due to my boyfriends loyalty he will not leave his parents home as hes helping them. His dad also is suffering from throat cancer.I am proud of him! He is an amazing son. But what is bothering me is why he is out in the living room? We have a baby on the way and we have offered to rent the master room with me moving in of course. I currently can not help his parents out so much with their needs and my own and rent my own place. Why can we not pay rent and continue doing what were doing...helping his parents not loose their home? If it wasn't for us it would have been lost as his mom took off but still wants the house in her name. His parents have rented to a few people off of CL. They've rented the master for 400 and other room for 300. We offered to pay 500-600 in rent and still pay for food and ness. needs. I am frustrated because I almost feel used. Especially since his sister has a room to rent and she isn't there helping her sick father, she comes in and out and has no regard for anyone.


What do I do? I CANT help them and myself at the same time but they are family to me so I feel obligated.
