[quote=Anonymous]Of course, all this should have been clarified up front.  Now is the time to politely sit down and say you realize there were something things that weren't clear in the beginning and would it be alright to sit down and set out a contract covering house rules and expectations as well as compensation package.

The car - if it's a car you will all share, it would be completely normal that you would need to ask and/or "reserve" it with them ahead of time.  He probably wants to know where you are going just so he knows where his car is.  It is expensive and stressful to have someone you don't know driving your car, so acknowledgement of that (rather than implying that he's prying) would probably go a long way.  If it's just your car, certainly ask him if there are rules for when/if you can take it out and where you can go.

As to the TV - there is no "normal" and it really doesn't matter.  What matters is what works for you for your living space.  Are you in a private room close the family or a private suite away from them?  Do you furnish/decorate your own space or is it pretty set up?  If you would like a TV, feel free to ask if they have a cable hook up in your space.[/quote]
