[quote=Anonymous]In brief, here's the situation: DH's cousin moved from out of state and has been living with us since the fall. We encouraged the move, told her she could live rent-free for as long as she wanted. We have plenty of space. We do the majority of the grocery shopping, but she picks up some of her own stuff a few times per month. Utilities have gone up a bit but not outrageous.

The predicament: her BF just moved to DC for a p/t internship and seems to be living with us. His original plan was to stay with a buddy on his couch but he has yet to sleep there (it's only been a few days so far). And they recently asked about buying some furniture for their room so he has a place for clothes.

IMO the cousin is one thing, her BF another.

Am I being unreasonable to think he should be contributing somehow? And if you think he should contribute, any suggestions for starting the chat...? DH travels 5 days/week so it could be just me. I feel like this needs to be addressed before I boil over....am I crazy??

We have two kids (3yo and 3mo), FWIW, so I'm open to some babysitting trading, help around the house, etc in lieu of "rent." What's fair?[/quote]
