Before you kick him out (and you should kick him out) please make sure you talk to an attorney! Some states, I am particularly thinking of northeastern states of a liberal persuasion, go the extra mile to protect tenant rights, and if you have ever accepted money from him to pay rent, utilities, etc., you might have…

In addition to the aforementioned 16 pound (tom) cat, we also have a 75 pound dog.

The dog is old now, at almost twelve years of age, but he’s still a good boy. When he was younger, his thing was to engage in what we called the “holy shit run,” where he’d have all four paws off the ground at the same time, and look…

Axe, meet neck. He has to go.

I see no problem letting a SO (or even a FWB, as this guy clearly is) stay rent-free, so long as they’re contributing something to the household.

I think he needs to call Tyrone.

It’s so much easier to start to live with someone knowing you have an occasional out. Even if you only use it a few times a month, just knowing you have the option available eases the pressure during the growing pains of a relationship. And no matter how compatible you two may be, there will be growing pains.

Haha yeah, what mythical land is this? Most dudes I’ve met can barely afford their *own* situation.

it’s ‘normal’ when both people talk about the situation and agree. IF the situation was reversed and the girlfriend just moved in slyly without being asked and refused to pay rent/utilities for 3 years? Given that scenario, I think most people would think was ‘psycho lazy/freeloading girlfriend’ not ‘normal’.

If you think that is normal, you need better taste in girlfriends.

Totally, I get that. Better safe than sorry. But this has gone on wayyyy too long.

I know literally no women whose boyfriends pay all the bills (unless there is a child involved that the women take care of in lieu of working outside the home).

What the fuck are you talking about? No, it’s not.

R2LG, I hate to break it to you, but you have a man who is getting free rent in exchange for sex. You’re not getting him out of there without assistance from SWAT.

My buddy’s kids decided it would be fun to put pennies and other small coins in the Wii’s drive slot, then shake it to make noise. It was the most playtime the Wii got in a long time.

If articles like this have taught me anything it is this:

Poor you, thinking you would get ahead of a kid with just that. Nope, they be like

Mike, I find this comment from just about a year ago particularly amusing given the subject of this article :D

Stories like these are great warnings for those without children. I now understand why it’s better to have a lock-able TV stand so that children cannot shove 3 DVDs into a blu-ray player.
