How about roommates??? email this discussion to a friend?

My husband and I currently have his friend and his friend's fiance living with us. They have been here since February - around 6 months now. Everything started off great with no problems at all; however, lately it seems like everything they do gets under my skin. I could go on for days ranting and raving about how lazy and irresponsible they are and about the things they do and do not do. Is there anyone else out there having the same problem?? I know I could boot them out, but (1) they don't really have anywhere else to go and I don't know if I have the heart to do that and (2) the extra money has been nice to have. My question I guess is, is it really worth the headache?? How are you coping with roommates??

I've had roommates, and it can be a hassle. The best advice I can give you is to set some ground rules for them. For instance, if they're not cleaning up after themselves, you need to make it clear what you expect. My partner's brother lived with us once, and the not cleaning up was a big thing. I would clean the kitchen, and half an hour late he would have it a wreck again. Or he would take a shower and leave the bathroom a huge mess. Anyway, since it's your husband's friend, he should probably talk to them. But the expectations need to be clear.

And maybe it's just not working out. If that's the case, you don't have to just kick them out right away, but you could kindly suggest that while you've enjoyed having them, you'd like to help them get back on their feet and maybe they should start looking for a place of their own. You could even help them look:)

honestly it isnt worth the headache cuz if they get under ur skin really bad it will make ur nerves bad then u will start to take it out on ur hubby and may fail ur marriage. i find im not the type of person to have room mates. i tried 3 times. the first one i ended up evictin thru the police department. the second one jus got on my nerves all the time to where i was ill aggravated and was takin it out on my bf. i almost lost him. so i kicked her to the curb. then the last one decided to up and move out while i was out of town. and steal a bathin suit that had sentimental value to it to me. so i find that room mates that get on ur nerves will cause ur relationship to fail

I have a feeling you are right...that's another thing I've noticed lately. I have really started to take my frustrations out on my hubby and it isn't fair to him....
