Ok I'm getting REALLY mad now....

Just called home & DH's friend is over AGAIN....

DH’s friend lost his job about a month ago. Actually, more than that. So now that he’s jobless, to pass the time, 'Joey' has been going with DH to work. 3-4 days a week. (DH owns his own company so they screw off ) He says he keeps DH company (aka - they take long lunches). DH doesn’t pay him.

Ok fine but seriously, almost EVERY night when I come home, HE IS OVER.

It’s a little much. It’s another person to cook for and clean up after and another person on my couch (leaving me no where to sit.) and its cutting into my time with DH. We haven't had s@x in almost 2 weeks.

He & DH have a GRAND old time & I feel like I have 2 husbands. Keep in mind, I work ALL DAY & & I come home & to them on the couches. Its not right.

One night last week, I came home & Joey had made sauce & meatballs & was wearing my apron. Yesterday at Easter Dinner, 'Joey' & his mom joined us. I’m getting annoyed. Go away Joey.

I feel like I'm living in the movie 'You, Me & Dupree' I mentioned something to DH is passing & he got VERY defensive. But honestly, its MY HOUSE.

Please help girlies. I'm at my wits end.

UPDATE
So I stopped at the market on the way home to pick up something for make for dinner. I go to this Whole Foods type place we have here called Dave's Market. ANYWAY, they have this huge prepared food counter so I bought all prepared stuff, which costs 3x as much. (For example, I bought breaded, cooked eggplant for $8.99 pound last night) And I used DH's card. Hey - its his friends were feeding and food is expensive and I am sick of cooking for a million people every night.

I came in the door & I SWEAR ON MY DEAD CAT'S GRAVE Joey was on my couch with his shirt off. Yup. Laying there in..... wait for it.... wait.... a wife beater.

Also- JOHN was over, another friend. My living room as full and they were watching COPS with Ella sitting right there. I wanted to beat DH with the loaf of bread.

I immediately turned to b!tch mode & hardly said hello. Then Joey comes in the kitchen & says 'what the matter hun?' I said 'oh, I'm just really stressed out.' he says 'not as stressed as me.' Annoying. Go away. I roll my eyes. With that, Joey says 'well, I'm gonna get out of here. Looks like they'll be fireworks tonight.' And he leaves. John did not get the hint as easily but at least he plays with the baby.

Later that night, DH checked his bank account online & said 'you spent $68 at Dave's? You bought eggplant & milk!' I said 'yuuuuuuuuuup. Its expensive to feed you & all your friends.'

UGH!!!!! I am ready to SCREAM! DH's family is ALWAY over but at least they play with the baby & help & clean up after themselves. Joey doesn't do ANYTHING but lay there & hog my laptop!

Find Joey a girlfriend!!! haha...sorry you have an uninvited 'house guest'...shouldn't Joey be looking for a job???? Does he expect to miraculously find employment while hanging with your DH?

Hmmm what if you started making really AWFUL stuff for dinner??? Like smelly fish, tofu anything, or 'Vegan Surprise'???

change your laptop password

Start vacuuming after you eat dinner...

And here's my favorite, take yourself out for a nice dinner, have a glass of wine or two, and let the boys fend for themselves.

The more he's there, the more you should try this one.... DH will get the hint!

This would annoy me to no end, when I get home from work i don't even want to talk to DH for like an hour, never mind 'entertain' his friends!!!!

He uses YOUR laptop???????? That would put me over the edge.

It is great that your DH wants to help out his friend, but he needs to check in with you. Also, if Joey is really comfortable hanging out with you guys and having a good time, he is not going to have any incentive to go out and get another job. This isn't really that good for him either...

One of my friends had this problem. Her DH's friend actually lived with them for six months. Also, his GF was over more often than not.

Finally, she said to him, 'The electric bill was really high this month. Do you think you could kick in half?' He moved out a week later.

These are great ideas. Would definitely change your password on the laptop. God knows what he is doing.

I would do everything in my power to annoy him. Go out after work and don't cook. Be as loud as you can be even get Ella involved that should do it. Let us know the outcome hopefully it will end soon.

I know that DHs cousin used to do this in SC...couldnt stand this Especially since I couldnt stand him
SO I just started having 'BAD' days...he would say hi i would just grunt a hello and not even look at him, acted mad all the time. DH had gotten defensive when i told him it annoyed me.......so I just started being a biotch

It worked!

The situation is not funny, but I think it's awesome that you went and spent the extra $$ on the prepared food. Hopefully your DH will realize that it's not ok that his friend is always over. People need their space!!

omg i would be so annoyed...that IS 'You me & Dupree'..... first TALK to DH(no fighting )...then if things dont change, do everything collette said. change ur laptop password, start vacuuming while they're watching tv, treat urself to dinner & drinks & leave them to fend for themselves...DONT clean up after them..let DH realize the mess they leave and tell him u'd appreciate it if HE took care of things from HIS friends. after a few days he'll majorly get it...HOPEFULLY.

but seriously talk first...then if things dont change I'd go into full effect with all of the above!!!

ugh - i always say 'Men will be boys...'
