We have my Bf's dd is over on holiday from oz, she is off to spain for 2 weeks and is returning to stay here for approx 3-12 months.
She's a bit of a lost soul as her mum died just under 3 years ago from cancer, a terrible death and she managed to keep herself together, get a degree but her df has now met a lady, we were never really friends as he was childish and spiteful and I'm furious I did not tell him this as he was quite rude to my daughters but his behaviour now is such that he is rarely home, having Botox, they even caught him in bed with her in the day time( she has a lovely sister) , I cannot imagine how hard it would be seeing your wife endure what she did, and they have been pretty good about he Gf but he is behaving like a prick, no food in, told the youngest daughter who is now at uni he will not pay to help her accommodation fees for next year and she will have to pay it all herself..
Unbelievable, I know I'm rambling but he had a large payout on my bf's death and has 2 houses paid for, 1 generating a rental income and has said he is retiring this year to travel Europe.
I am just livid as he just wants shot of his responsibilities as a father , sorry more venting, miserable bastard he does not deserve them. I should try voodoo , joking, hm maybe I'm not.
I have offered the eldest (23) a place to stay with us, I love her to bits but she is not very domesticated and a bit dizzy.
Any ideas as I'm quite house proud, on rules etc she can have her own room, but need some guidelines and any ideas what to ask for board?
I have taken her to a jobs fair and we do have retail jobs which would tide her over to look for better stuff , I know it won't be permanent as she will miss her sister too much and anyway she would want to share with younger people. What will I do if he wants to stay here on his visit? I don't want him staying with us.
Any ideas ladies??

Is this what you are asking?

If he wants to stay, tell him no.
Work out what the girl can actually afford, and what it would cost her to live in a shared house if she doesn't accept your offer.
Decide what shared responsibilities there are, washing, cleaning and the rest, and put everything in writing like a contract, so that neither you or she misremembers what has been agreed.

Sorry if I'm unclear just furious with him.
I'm just wondering what do any parents of working children charge?

Well, if she doesn't have a job yet, you'll need to work out what you will do if she's staying with you and unemployed. Friends with working children take a percentage of what they earn, from £50 upwards, one's an NQT and paying £200.
I don't know how it works with visiting students and people who are not family.
