[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think you are being unreasonable to not allow a man that neither you nor your children have ever met to stay in your home for an extended period. I wouldn't allow that either. And I say this as someone who loved her grandmother's boyfriend as a grandfather but I knew him for a decade.

You may find yourself without childcare or with a pissed off MIL but I would rather cancel my trip than have her come with the boyfriend. Just be prepared for that scenario. [/quote]

I told Dh I would rather not go on the trip than have this man stay at our house. I originally was thinking of safety for my children.

Now that I think deeper, I don’t think this man is in a good financial situation. He hangs out at my MIL’s paid off house, eats her food and they drive their car around. I don’t think his car is functioning. We have many valuables in our house. I just don’t want to worry about this when we are away.[/quote]

He may not be a thief, but he sounds like a Grade A Mooch.  The fact that he hasn’t put the brakes on this plan himself (coming to stay not knowing you or your children at all) means he’s likely happy to come along for the ride.  So your jewelry may not be stolen, but all your best wine will be gone.  [/quote]
