Doesn't look like your income is enough to cover everyone based on the guideline Perhaps get a joint sponsor.

you barely make it, you should have a joint sponsor lined up just in case the officer decides you need a joint sponsor

 

if you check the poverty guidelines, for this year, it is $41,200 for 6 people

If you're applying for both parents then your family size is 7 (5+2 parents). One of your parents would need a joint sponsor, or you could submit evidence of additional financial assets (bank accounts, net value of your home etc.).

then something doesn't add up, first he says five dependents

 

then he says, himself, his wife 2 kids and the in laws? is there a kid missing?

 

or is it 5 + himself would be 6 not seven

Each petition is separate, and even though he is applying for 2 petitions at this time, neither of them are approved,   so he adds only 1 to his household size.  Note though, he states current 5 dependents, so 5 plus 1 is six for his current household, plus 1 potential immigrant... 7. 

Just speaking from personal experience, if I have two people in front of me in the visa window I count both as members of the household. Thus 7. Though reading the OP again, it sounds like he is saying he has 5 dependents. Thus would 1+5+2 parents=8. 

 

Agree that they are separate petitions, but I would still refuse one of the parents public charge and tell the family to get a sponsor. We don't have much discretion in reviewing affidavits of support but there is some room to apply common sense.
