My DS2 has moved his girlfriend in with her 2 cats.

Obviously it’s another person using the washing machine,,TV, gas and electricity they are both 22 and don’t work but get benefits.

Do you think I’m being unreasonable asking them for money?

They should both be paying their way. They are adults not children.

Why on earth did you agree to it in the first place, yes I would never ask my child for money but if they are bringing a tribe yes

They apparently have anxiety so can’t work.

He asked if she could bring her cat, she brought 2.

Yes I could do need the money.

So many questions! The mind boggles but yes the girlfriend at least should be making a contribution. How much do they get?

YANBU but this is a conversation that very much should've been had before she moved in.

Why don’t they work?!
regardless they need to contribute to the household
Was this discussed with you or did she just arrive?

Why are they both not working?
What do you mean he has moved her in, didn't they ask you?
Do you want to have two cats in your house?

Tbh my immediate thoughts are to kick the bloody pair of them out.

Did he ask first?

do you need the money? If yes then absolutely.
if no then personally I’d rather have the peace….
