In-law problems! Is it me or my father in-law?

I have a great husband, a 5 year old daughter and two year old son. children, everything is great except for my father in law. He lives with us because no one else will live with him. He is an ex con and doesn’t have a license, so he uses that as an excuse to not work. He doesn’t do anything but sit around all day drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes, playing online poker and hiding out in his room. Our income is tight, at this point we are living paycheck to paycheck barely making ends meet. Right now I am working because I make more than my husband and also to get away from his dad. My husband is not working because I don’t want his dad to watch the kids because he parks them in front of the tv, feeds them crap and never takes my daughter to school. Her school is right around the corner so he can walk her, but he doesn’t like to deal with her because she is to “high maintenance” for him. He does not contribute to the household and it drives me insane. I tried to deal but every time I see him I get so angry! Ever since he moved in I have started having anxiety attacks when I get stresses. My husband wants him to stay with us because when ever his dad leaves he drinks, takes pills and ends up in the hospital or in jail. My husband is afraid he will die, I just don’t know what to do. Any advice?
