my brother moved in with myself and ds 2 months ago while he completes on a house hes currently buying ( current owners are in a chain and waiting for everything in place - brother had to give notice on his flat or renew for 12 more months).
Now he moved in under the condition his gf could stay now and then (for reference I see this as approx once or twice a week).
Queue 2 months later, as nice as they are im getting a little tired of sharing my home, his gf managed to crack the floor tile in the bathroom, she came and told me this and I said as long as its repaired i'm not hugely bothered - what else can I do really? was a little frustrating given she's also managed to completely soak the wood bath panel each time she has a shower to the point its now split and is shedding wood so will also need replacing. they've broken a couch and they never clean up after themselves (dishes are left on the side as they go off to bed each night).
Ive welcomed them in and Im hoping this house sale goes through very very quickly but all he is currently paying me is £25 a week for himself - this alone barely covers anything as my council tax jumped up by almost £50 a month. not to mention im now like there maid in my own home. I cant live in a pigsty so I end up cleaning and getting frustrated with them, db does clean up occasionally but he has really poor eye sight so does as best he can but ill always spot stuff that needs cleaning he wont (drips on floor or food left on worktop for example).
I mentioned to my mum I was going to ask for more and she was outraged that I wont let her little price get away with stuff. for reference my brother is a manager of a government agency, they have the money to eat out almost nightly - no exaggeration id say at a push they eat out 5 nights a week, either takeaways or meals out.
