Need A Little Advice

My younger brother lives with me and FH. He is 23 yrs old and has had some big problems which is why I told him to try to start over with us and get away from the peer pressure he has. Well I only make him pay $150 a month for rent, but now he is dating this girl who I don't know very well and she is practically living with us now. She is eating at our house, taking showers there. I wouldn't mind so much but HELLO!! we are paying for a wedding do we need our water bill and electricity bill going up even more? What should I tell him.? Should I tell him to pay more rent for her? We kicked our old roommate out because his girlfriend thought she could live there and not pay rent.

Hmmmmm......

Tough call being family but yes or she should pay it! Does she live somewhere & just stays there alot? Did you ever agree to that?

I would talk to him and explain that it's ok if she stays on the weekends or whatever but that if she is going to be pratically living with you, you are going to have to raise his rent some.

She is only 18 she still lives at home with her family and he never asked us if it was ok that she CONSTANTLY hang out at our house. FH and him don't even talk and FH said that last night when my bro saw that FH was not going to work he asked what did you change your schedule like he had some big plans in my house since no one is there.

Do you like her? I think this would make a difference in my decision. Do you mind that she is staying with you other than the money?

If you don't mind, I would ask for the money. Otherwise, I would tell him to get her out.
Where are her parents? I would not have been allowed to stay at my bf's house at 18.

Technically she doesn't stay the night because he works overnight so she goes home once he goes to work. She doesn't really talk to us other than to say hi. She acts REALLY young. As in still in that high school mode, it just seems weird.

I would talk to him about it.. get to know this girl more, but talk to him about her basically being somewhat of a nuisance.. don't let it go on much longer or it may cause friction between the two of you that you dont need.. good luck!

I would kindly tell him to buck up some extra cash...let him know you are happy he has found someone, but with the wedding coming up and your water bill increasing..tell him you and fh are a bit stressed..hopefully he will understand! Its a tough situation..but if you dont peak up you may get really resentful. Best of luck to you!!
