[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you should just ask a friend if you can crash on their couch. It's unprofessional to ask your boss to open their home to you.

[b]I always cringe when people talk about nannies and employers being "like family" because they're not.[/b] Everyone is "like a family member" until there's a problem and then the hurt feelings are magnified threefold because you thought you were "like family."

Just ask a friend, OP.  Keep the boundaries simple.[/quote]

Really? Because I was a live-in for 4 years and continued with them as a live-out for 3 years after I moved out. (The only reason I moved out was to live with my fiance.) They are most certainly like family to me, and me to them. The biggest issue that ever came up was a conflict in vacation time that was settled w/ a 5 minute talk, not an awkward argument that ended in hurt feelings. They are still very much a HUGE part of my life...just like family. I hate it when people generalize. It may not be the norm, but it happens. [/quote]
