House sitting

[Isntitironic1]

We’re going away for the weekend this week and my partner has just told me that he’s told his nephew that he can house sit. AIBU to be upset about this? I’m angry that he didn’t think to consult me first, and the fact that he hasn’t put any restrictions on who nephew can have over. I don’t want a bunch of strangers in my house. OH thinks I’m being ridiculous. (Nephew is 17)

YANBU OP. When my DS's were that age I happily left them at home alone for the weekend but had strict stipulations about who could be here with them. I'm sure there are many very sensible 17 yo out there who wouldn't dream of taking advantage of "an empty" but your home, your rules.

No way would I allow this.

Absolutely agree with you as I hope my own children would know better than to take advantage however nephew is quite troubled, doesn’t get on with his step dad (he refuses to get a job) so OH said he thought it would be good for them to all have a bit of space. I’m just wondering what carnage I’m potentially coming home to

There is no way on Gods green earth I'd be allowing that in my house. In fact, I'd probably not go away as I'd be nervous about what was happening back home.

Absolutely no way. He could come and stay when we were there if he needed space but on his own-no
Would it affect your insurance, he's not considered an adult? I don't know but thought I'd put it out there
Hope you get it sorted either way

Oh my goodness no way!! Yadnbu.

He’s just been on the phone to his mother and apparently I’m being completely unreasonable.

Just don’t go. You won’t have a home to come home too.

Troubled 17 year old in someone else’s home.

No chance

He’s already told the kids that we’re going away but he won’t take them if I don’t go. I’m really houseproud aswell and the thought of spilled drinks etc sends my anxiety into overdrive
