[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

This is my concern. It's probably silly, because I have no reason to be concerned given what I know about him, but I just fear we're going to resent having another person in the house and the maintenance that comes along with that.

We have little kids (6 and 3).  I work PT, DH works outside the home.

Maybe instead of asking for money, he could provide some free babysitting for you. Then you and your DH could get a little break, do some extra date nights, etc., to offset the impact of having another person under your roof.[/quote]

I think that is a great idea. add it to the other  rules and I think you are good.

"1. You'll be given a key. If you lose it once, no problem. Lose it more than once, you'll have to pay for a locksmith and new keys. 
2. Each day you'll let me know by 5pm if you'll be joining us for dinner. 
3. Each night you'll let me know by 10pm if you'll be sleeping at home. 
4. No food or drink in your bedroom. The only exception is water. 
5. You'll not bring romantic partners to sleep over. They need to leave by midnight. 
6. You'll clean up after yourself. This means not leaving hair in the shower drain, dishes in the sink, cooking and leaving a mess in the kitchen, etc. 
7. If there's even a suspicion of drugs, you'll have to be out within 12 hours. No exceptions. 
8. Do not drive drunk. If you are drunk, call us to come get you. Do not get in a car with anyone who has been drinking. Even at 3am, even if you're two hours away. Do NOT drive drunk."[/quote]
