How are inlaws different from outlaws? Outlaws are wanted.

Ok, a little history. My husband brother, Frank, is a homeless drunk. Every other week or so he shows up on my doorstep, crashes on my couch for a few days, and then leaves. I don't like it, but I understand that my hubby loves his brother, and I know that it it were one of my siblings I'd do the same thing. Anyway, he showed up at my house Friday morning. (My husband actually had to go pick him up at the jail.) He immediatly went into the garage and found some wine I'd put there. He drank a bottle darn near right then and their. Then Kenny took me to the dentist to have my tooth pulled, and took Frank to go get his bike from the jail. We went home and Frank crashed on the couch, which is normal behavior. The next morning he went out and got another bottle! I had Daniels birthday party on Saturday, and Kenny couldn't be there, 'cause he had to work. Frank's kids and ex wife were there. Frank woke up briefly to eat cake and ice cream, and went back to sleep. Then Kenny got home, and saw Frank passed out on the couch with the bottle of wine next to him. To say that Kenny was not pleased would be an understatement. His exact words were "I don't work my a$$ off so he can lay around and drink my alchohol." So we went out and hid the rest of it. Then this afternoon, just as I was laying down to take a nap there was a knock at my door! He had asked Muna to bring his kids over this afternoon! I don't mind having them, frankly I'd have said yes if he'd asked! I love having them here. But that's besides the point. He does not freaken live here! He does not pay rent, he does't even help out around here. Am I wrong to think that he should have shown THE COURTESY of asking? Or at least letting me know they were coming. AND THEN he slept through at least half their vist. Jackson (his 10 year old) finally had to SIT on him to wake him up! It was freaken ridiculous. I think that me and him are going to have to have a little talk. Arrg! Not to mention he wouldn't stop hitting on Muna, his ex, once she got here. I was beginning to think that I was gonna have to intervene. Disgusting drunk. If I were Muna I'd have kneeded him. Evil
