DP has very kindly offered his cousin (who lives abroad)a place to stay in our house whenever he comes to the UK to visit.
This in itself is fine, except that we have a tiny house with no spare room so he is staying in our living room and it's a PITA.
He's currently here for two weeks, which is ok, but will be here for 3 months in the summer, and I know i will end up wanting to kill somebody!
He's considerate when he's here, and it's not his fault we don't have the space, but I just feel put upon because I wasnt really asked before my DP offered. It was more of a 'I have told X he can come stay with us whenever he likes, I hope that's ok?'. Argh how can i bloody say no to that when you have already told him???
DP feels obliged I think as the cousins family (who all live abroad now) have been very good to him in the past, and are actually lovely people, and there really isnt anywhere else for his cousin to stay.
So I know I cant say no, and dont really want to because his family are all so nice, but wondered if anyone had any advice on how not to go mad during the 3 months???
