[quote=Anonymous]No, you're not crazy -- that would drive me nuts. I think you first need to decide what you want. Do you want the BF to contribute, or do you want the BF not to move in? It sounds like you're fine with the latter as long as the former happens. If that's the case, I would sit down with just the cousin (it might be awkward for her to have the conversation with him present as well) and say that while you're happy to have her stay and help out family a bit, adding two people to the household is a different matter. If he would like to stay also, you think it's fair that he contribute a bit to cover the added groceries and utilities (and anything else that's increasing in cost). Keep it simple -- don't feel compelled to keep talking, to justify yourself. You're already being very generous and this is a very reasonable request. [/quote]
