You could suggest that she takes back the master bedroom in the house that she actually owns and pays for. Of course, that makes sense, so it's not allowed."It is traditional when asking for help or advice to listen to the answers you receive" - RealUnimportant

Sounds like my family at 17 my mother made me pay 300 a month rent. That was 50 more than an apartment at the time. I moved out, finished High School and moved on with my life. WTF is with "family's" Makes me never want to have one.Quoth Kanalah View PostYeah both of them expect to be welcomed with open arms. No rules, and no rent.
Never mind the fact that I have a 3 bedroom home and 2 kids. I don't have an extra room.
Mom had the gall the say that Hubs and I should give her the master bedroom and I should share a room with daughter and husband should share a room with son. How about hell no.

Seventeen is way too young to charge rent. There's no way a seventeen-year-old could make enough money to afford that kind of rent and still be able to put a decent amount in the bank. If the kid's twenty-five, maybe, but not while he/she's still a minor, especially while still in school.

I worked 2 jobs that amounted to full time and taught kids to swim part time while in school. There was no interest in putting money in the bank she wanted it to support her drug habit. She was only interesting in herself. She died of Hep-C compounded by drug use and cancer. Before anyone says any "Ahh that's sad" she was Pure Evil and the world is better off with out her.Quoth XCashier View Post

I will post some of her antics one day.

Stay strong, Kanalah! YOU DESERVE YOUR OWN SPACE AND YOUR OWN LIFE. Please do NOT let those leeches guilt you into letting them move in.
I just don't get why your mom doesn't just toss Sis and her loser BF to the curb. It's HER house.When you start at zero, everything's progress.

I think Mom is upset because I found someone else to do shows with and she's trying to weasel back into my life.

Stay strong you owe these people nothing.
Some family's are loving, caring, and nurturing. Then there are the Toxic ones, they are full of petty, small minded, self absorbed narcissists. When someone is in that family that has any kind of humanity they end up being abused and walked on.

W.....T....F? I can see such an arrangement (you sharing a room with your daughter, and your husband sharing with your son) working out fine on holiday if you only want two rooms, but NOT as a permanent arrangement to free up room for parents who a) will treat you like a kid- which wouldn't be good for your own kid and b) means that the more...intimate...activities that usually occur during marriage would be difficult at best. ( especially with parents around, since if they impose rules, I can easily see one of them being "no sex in OUR house"- even if the house is yours.)Quoth Kanalah View PostMom had the gall the say that Hubs and I should give her the master bedroom and I should share a room with daughter and husband should share a room with son.

yeah, my advice is to tell them to take a hike. ESPECIALLY since you've already said that they intend to leave your sister everything.
As a side note, there's another reason that her parents moving in with Kanalah is inherently obnoxious in this situation: it's one thing for Kanalah's parents to financially support her sister and not her- it's their money- but since they want Kanalah to put them up without charging rent, then that means that Kanalah is effectively financially supporting her sister by proxy.( since presumably the reason her parents want a free place to live is to be able to support her sister more)
so yeah- they should reclaim their own house, not expect Kanalah to subsidise their bad choices.

Agreed, that really is adding insult to injury. Stand strong and keep telling them no, Kanalah. They can get the house room from their darling precious golden child if they really want to.Quoth sstabeler View PostAs a side note, there's another reason that her parents moving in with Kanalah is inherently obnoxious in this situation: it's one thing for Kanalah's parents to financially support her sister and not her- it's their money- but since they want Kanalah to put them up without charging rent, then that means that Kanalah is effectively financially supporting her sister by proxy.

Well and my parents are divorced and they hate each other. As they've gotten older they (maybe realize that they messed up) think that they'd rather have me take care of them then my sister.
It's almost funny now because they're trying to be nice to me, but it's very thinly veiled. Both of them think they're competing with each other for free room and board and my servitude until they die. I don't want either of them in my house. I don't have the room and I'm not buying a new house. They both chose my sister as the golden child, they can come crying to her.
