Apperently despite my attempts to get ds1's girlfriend to leave and not be a permenant resident of this house , they (ds1 and ds1's girfriend are arranging to bring down her double bed on Sunday

Would it be unreasonable to say ...no right what.....what the jeff you doing ?

I am so lost ...he's 18 ..she's 18 and I really have no idea who to handle this

Stand your ground. If you don't want her living in the house say so. If they want to live together they need to rent their own place.

squeakytoy · 26/01/2012 23:41

it. is. your. house.

of course it would be unreasonable to say "wooahhh, hang on a bloody minute.. this was never meant to be permanent, and I am very sorry, but this is just not on".

squeakytoy · 26/01/2012 23:41

yikes... would NOT be unreasonable... NOT NOT .... lol!!

LeBOF · 26/01/2012 23:45

Which part of No do they not understand? Is it the N or the O?

Bearcrumble · 26/01/2012 23:46

It's your house and your decision.

foglike · 26/01/2012 23:47

I wouldn't allow it because I would be on noise patrol every night and not be able to get to sleep.

cakeismysaviour · 26/01/2012 23:50

Just say no and keep on saying it until they understand.

Good luck!

tallwivglasses · 26/01/2012 23:53

I wonder why they can't sleep in her lovely double bed in her house?

Maybe because her parents say 'NO'?

lisaro · 26/01/2012 23:53

FFS! Who's house is it! Say no, and if she looks like stopping over tell her to go! Cheeky slapper!

foglike · 26/01/2012 23:54

Someone will be along shortly to explain how you should get cable installed in the same room as the double bed with a subscription to red hot channal x or somat :)

But ignore them they are probably Swedish or just odd Austrians.

"despite my attempts to get ds1's girlfriend to leave"

What exactly did those attempts entail? Perhaps you need to come flat-out and say "sorry, but you are no longer able to stay here".

CreamolaFoamless · 27/01/2012 00:05

i've done that *ecclesvet and bar from saying ' piss off' 'just go to your own home home' and don't think she takes the hint

just 'say no' whilst' being good advice always reminds me of GrangeHill

When are you going to grow a pair?

ThatVikRinA22 · 27/01/2012 00:16

what is the issue - is it that they are just moving the double in or is it that they are sleeping together?

tbh - and this may be unpopular - but if i had the room for a double, i would let them but i would need a conversation with the pair of them about common courtesy!

in your house they dont get to decide on the furniture!

that said, i wouldnt have a problem with it. as long as she leaves when you have had enough - you just need to say when that is and tell them as much. I would rather my kids (ds is 20 but with no girlfriend, he has AS and is a bit younger than his years) were not shagging in cars down alleyways.

GashInTheAttic · 27/01/2012 00:19

How long has this been going on now again Creamola?

somedayma · 27/01/2012 00:33

cheeky cow. I wouldn't dare get on like that! Especially not at 18! tell her to sling her hook

Feckadeck · 27/01/2012 00:37

errr people shouldn't normally move furniture into your house without your permission never mind actually move in. Tell her to feck the feck off and take her double bed with her unless you need a new bed yourself

oh no .......i know they are sleeping together ..the double bed isn't a problem with errm the sex bits IYSWIM

It's more it's her double bed being shipped in and my sons single bed being shipped out

I know this should be easier but it still makes me feel uncomfortable

BadNails · 27/01/2012 03:53

Well I'm a number of years away from having teenagers, but this wouldn't sit right with me. Not the shagging, but the surreptitious moving in. Has there been a conversation about it? How about rent??

LeBOF · 27/01/2012 03:55

If you don't want her feet under the table (or her bed installed), you need to be super-explicit NOW.

Incapinka · 27/01/2012 04:00

Maybe controversial but would you be able to buy a bed for that room so you don't have to have her bed in your house and would then avoid any issues over said bed should they split up in the future?

CreamolaFoamless · 27/01/2012 04:56

do you know what , I hadn't even thought about that Incapinka

IYes I could could do that ......that thought had never crossed my miind though.

It's weird what you can't see when you are in the middle of it!

Thank you
