[quote=Anonymous]I have done this twice in similar situations (internship and education). Once with my niece and once with my BIL (younger brother of DH). We were more than happy to have family live with us.  They were given house-keys and the only rule was to text/call us to let us know where they were.

They both were ready to help out with chores if I needed help. However, I do laundry, cleaning and cooking every day, so having another person at home was no big deal for me. I enjoyed having them at home and after they left the house felt really empty.

We were lucky that our relatives are very responsible and loving people, and so we did not even imagine having rules for them. My kids loved having their cousin and uncle at home, my sis (niece's mother) and my ILs were relieved that their children were living with family. They had full access to our home, food, cars etc. They were included in our leisure activities as well as socializing.

There was no way we would take rent or any payment for food and supplies etc.   :shock:  This is family, we are related by blood.
