I think sometimes helping a friend in need can be a mistake. My kids are still adjusting to having someone else in the house. My fiancé let his friend stay with us since he has no place to live after his ex/ mother of his kids kicked him out. He is a nice friend but I am starting to see he is a freeloader. For one, he's been with us almost a month now and hasn't contributed nor offered anything. My dh and him work at the same place so they ride together everyday, not once does he offer to help pay gas or tolls which bothers me. I am starting to see my babygirl doesn't sleep through the night anymore since he came. I told my fiancé he needs to give his friend a set date to leave already. He is not trying to get on his feet and argues with with his ex every single day still.

What would you do in this situation? Would you have done it? How would you tell them they have to go without ruining a friendship?

****************************************
Creo que a veces puede ser un error, ayudando a un amigo en necesidad. Mis hijos todavía están ajustando para tener alguien en casa. Mi novio deje su amigo quédate con nosotros, ya que él no tiene lugar para vivir después de su ex / madre de sus hijos le pateó. Es un buen amigo, pero estoy empezando a ver que es un freeloader. Por ejemplo, él ha estado con nosotros casi un mes ahora y no ha aportado ni ofrece nada. Mi dh y él trabajan en el mismo lugar así lo montan juntos todos los días, no una vez que ofrecer ayudar a pagar el gas o peajes que me molesta. Estoy empezando a ver a que mi bebita no dormir toda la noche ya ahora que él está aquí. Le dije a mi novio que debe dar a su amigo una fecha para dejar ya. No está tratando de obtener en sus pies y sostiene con su ex cada día todavía.

¿Qué haría usted en esta situación? ¿Lo habría hecho? ¿Cómo les diría que tienen que ir sin arruinar una amistad usted?

I was in your shoes, but it wasn't a friend, it was my Brother-in-law. You and your husband need to sit down and talk about this. It's disruptive to the family and draining your finances. There is no reason that a grown ass man needs to be crashing at his friend's house, especially when that friend  has a wife and family. Helping a friend in need is one thing. That friend taking advantage of your kindness is another. 30 days is long enough. Give him 2 weeks and he has to be out if not sooner. "You ain't gotta go home, but you're not staying here."

Thanks I so agree, he's a grown ass man that needs to get his ish together. I'm going to talk to my hubby again about this because it causes even more arguements between us. It's just a crazy situation but my dh should've known better if his own family didn't want to help him out. His friends definitely taking advantage since he doesn't even help pay for gas when they work at the same place. I find that so rude because if he had his own car he would have to do it so offering to pay half on gas or tolls shouldn't hurt him. But it's been two straight weeks of nah I'm going to sit in the passenger seat and not bother. It drives me nuts that people can be such moochers.

A year or two ago I came up to the conclusion that I can't live with anyone else beside my husband and kids. So now we, for once don't offer the house to anyone. I know what is like to live with people that doesn't do anything and are living for free. The best thing to do is for your bf talk to him and give him a date to leave and stick with it. Be serious AND firm about the decision. Also if there's a next time from day ONE tell him/her that is expected help around the house and help with money. You guys have kids so feeding an extra mouth can't be so easy. I hope he move asap.

Thanks mama for your input and I pray to god he moves out fast and we never offer our home to any friend again just can't. My hubby regrets it since his grind hasn't ven offered to pay anything it's just crazy how one can be such a freeloader and not feel the need to offer something you know. I definitely know we will not have houseguest like that again.

I would never allow a friend of my husband just to stay with us. My husband would not allow it either. The only exception would be a very close faamily member. We have always discussed about how protective we are of our home and the environment we raise our girls in. We have our girls set on a schedule. Nothing nor anyone is more important than what is best for our girls in our home. Whenever you make a decision to allow someone into your home you run a risk of dealing with uncomfortable issues as you are dealing with now that causes a strain on your relationship. Why should your husband's friend cause you anymore strain than you already have running a household and taking care of your kids? You need to be very direct and honest with your husband before it becomes a bigger problem.

 Lo siento mucho Rosi , pienso que tu prometido debe de hablar con el y ponerle una fecha  para que se vaya todos tenemos problemas pero no se tiene que quedar  toda la vida ,espero que pronto puedan resolver la situación y todo vuelva a la normalidad ,mientra trata de mantener  mucha paciencia☺

That is exactly how I felt and still feel. I don't like allowing friends to stay with us maybe a very close family member but that's it. The schedules I have set for my kids are all messed up and we argued about it as my dh wanted to switch the kids rooms just to make his friend more comfortable yet he is sleeping on our sons full size bed. Our sons sleeping back in his toddler bed in our room. For someone not paying rent there's no way in going to make him more comfortable.i told my hubby his friends got to go and soon.

if your hubby wont say anything, then you need to...its your house too..

look dude, you have satayed here for a month, but you dont help out with bills or food, if your gona stay here than we need to discuss payments. If not, you have a week to get your stuff together.

and if your afraid to say something like that, than you need to threaten your man.

if you dont get your friend out of here than im out of here!
