[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is welcome to stay if she chooses. She was vulnerable, and had no where to live, so I couldn’t say no to letting her live with us. Her parents tried to encourage her to get a job, but she declined. Her fiancé is kind, from a well-to-do family, and they have been together for nearly a year. She understands the importance of not relying on a partner, but currently wants to stay at home. Her fiancé covers all her expenses. She occasionally helps with babysitting when breaks are needed, cooks breakfast and dinner a few times a week, and usually does the grocery shopping. Before her engagement, we covered all her expenses, with her fiancé contributing as well. The engagement is genuine, and she is actively planning the wedding, which is expected within the year. I will need to tell her about specific family and non-family time expectations.
