[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would ask him to pay a small amount in room and board.  I would also write out some genral rules and have him sign them.

I didn't do those two things with my niece and wish I would have.  After a few weeks I started to resint cooking and cleaning up after one more person.  I think having him chip in would help with that. On the plus side my Dd loves having her cousin around.[/quote]

I just listed my rules I've given to college and early 20's "kids" who have stayed with us. We do not charge rent. To me that's not "opening your home to a relative/friend." That's taking in a short-term renter. It was no trouble for me to cook dinners for one more person - it's not as if I made another meal - it was just a smidge more food. I did not clean up after them. They did their own laundry, dropped off and picked up their own dry-cleaning, kept the bathroom clean, and cleaned up after themselves when making breakfast/lunch. When they joined us for dinner, they either helped cook, set tables, or did the dishes. It was really no extra work. [/quote]
