So have a family holiday booked, my sons gf has recently moved in holiday booked before she moved in. I said to my son while we are on holiday she will have to stay somewhere else for that week. (I did say she was welcome to come on holiday but they don’t want to pay for her but if I was paying wouldn’t be a problem) Now apparently according to my son I’m a bad person for kicking her out(it’s 1 week) , in my eyes he should be greatful I let her stay in the house to begin with. Both age 21 of that helps

If rent is being paid on her behalf, it is her home tbh but as you are the homeowner just tell her it is an insurance issue, and you won’t take the risk.

I would not have let her move in at all. A short stay maybe but your home is your private space and she is not a family member yet. Plus she extended it without your specific agreement.

It’s not that I don’t trust her.. it’s the fact of somebody being in my home when I’m in another country, we went on holiday in Aug I didn’t have a problem with her being in the home then as my son was also home!! It’s not like I’m kicking her out!!!!

You clearly don't trust her hands of some who I consider irresponsible

I agree with you wholeheartedly OP. She can move out whilst you’re away. You read so many threads on here where young adults get in to serious relationships and then move in their BF or GF and before you know you’re stuck with them and they’re living rent free, working part-time and you are lumbered with another child. Stick to your guns, if she doesn’t like it she can move out, oh but wait, she won’t, because she’s on to a winner.

YANBU but you need to clarify your position because you sound confused, which is not going to help you explain your position to them.

From my understanding, you don't consider this person to be a permanent member of the household but rather a temporary guest of your son. Therefore it is entirely understandable you don't wish them to be left in sole charge of the property while you are away.

But if she is not supposed to be living there permanently, I think you need to tackle that as June is some time ago.
