Guy threatens to call child services on SIL if she leaves kid at home with him.

AITA for telling my SIL that I will call the cops for child abandonment the moment she steps out of the house? Me (25M), my brother Jack (27M) and his wife Jill (25F).  It all started when Jack and Jill got pregnant. Their lease almost ended and my parents invited them to stay at our house. The day they came, Jack asked me why I haven&#39;t moved out of my room yet.  I was confused, like wtf, and he told me that he and Jill will be at my room and I go to guest room.

Edits: I work from home and pay 50% of all household expenses, including mortgage. Jack and Jill don&#39;t contribute anything for expenses.  I wanted to stay home and take care of my parents when they are old. I will never have a partner and children, because reasons, so taking care of my parents was the plan. The moment I move out they will have problems paying for mortgage and all other expenses. Entitled princess will probably have to go back to work.  The moment I move out our relationship will end.
