argh

March 17th, 2009 at 08:05 am

well, I am annoyed now.

DF's dad is thinking of hiring a second cousin as an apprentice. The second cousin is currently working on a cruise ship and doesnt finish until August.
DF's dad suggested he could live with us (paying rent of course).
My dad, stepmum and little sister are staying with us for a week at the end of September. I said they would have our two spare rooms.
Not only am I annoyed at this, but also that we will have to share a house again (IF this happens). We just FINISHED sharing a house. I thought we would not have SHARE AGAIN, EVER. Isn't that the whole point in buying a house?
But it's family, and if I say no then I will be the bad guy (or girl).

I AM SO ANNOYED that I even have to think about this. ARGH.

Driving home today the only solution I could think of is if DF's dad puts off hiring him until October or something like that.

But that still doesn't help the fact that we will be sharing again.

MAYBE.

Anyway. The OTHER thing I am annoyed about is that I don't think the business can afford another apprentice anyway. Our current apprentice will be finishing up, which then means his wage will go up from $15 per hour to around $20 per hour. DF is already on $30 per hour.
I just don't know.

    Tricky situation when it comes for family...Be honest with your DF. It is his family and he is the one that needs to be the bad guy.

    Maybe your DF's dad thinks that you two prefer to share living space with someone else since that is what he has seen you do previously. (Even my closest sibling sometimes has some odd ideas about my preferences based on thepractical choices she has seen me sometimes make.) Maybe he even thinks that is why you have two spare rooms. He might even think he is helping you two out by sending this cousin your way.

    I think you should have a heart to heart with DF and find out if this is something he really wants/is okay with. If not, then brainstorm with him the best way to get out of it -- and since it is his family involved, he should be the one to say something.

    we have already talked about it. he doesn't want to share - but it IS family and that is what their family do, help each other out.

    we will see i guess. i have calmed down a little since then. i was thinking if it does happen we can put a time limit on it, like, he can rent with us for 6 months and then find his own place. or something like that. the one thing i am stressed about is my dad staying. i wanted to have a nice relaxing week off! garrr!
    thanks for the comments guys!
