CRAP My boyfriend is bringing 7 people to my apartment with zero notice!!?
I’m pretty annoyed right now because my boyfriend told me yesterday that his parents were coming to town and that they were staying with him. Well yesterday night when they arrived it turned out to be his dad, his stepmom, his stepmom’s son, the wife, the wife’s brother, their kid and their kid’s friend. A 14 year old and an 11 year old. 7 people altogether. Well they didn’t all fit at his single apartment so he sprung up that his stepmom and dad were coming to my place. I didn’t have a problem with this except that it was no notice and I had to clean all half-@ssed at the last minute at 11pm at night. Now today, he’s asking me if the whole clan can come to my place instead because there’s a leak in his house and I have more room. I’m really annoyed because the boys already broke things at his house and I don’t even know any of them except for his parents. I have a daughter and I had to make arrangements for her to stay with her dad and she has this huge school project I had to help her with. I know I sounded annoyed on the phone with him but I said I’d do it. Am I overreacting? I don’t want these people here. The wife’s brother just came from another country and he doesn’t even know him! My boyfriend was complaining that they made a mess at his place too, leaving food on the floor and breaking things, they even broke the toilet. I have about 5 loads of laundry to do too and still have to go grocery shopping and finish cleaning my apartment.
i can totally relate

too long i can’t read sry

WHAT! say NO you dont have enough room? These people should rent a hotel room! Also dont buy any groceries so they leave faster and dont clean anything.. that will make them leave FASTER

.Yeah, i’d be annoyed (or worse) too. You should not be made to feel obligated to play hostess to his family, without prior consent and plenty of notice, and especially after you learn they’ve already trashed his place. I’d have told him to put them up in a motel. NOT kewl.
BabeHart | Feb 06, 2010
Just tell him that it would make things very complicated for you since you don’t know them very well and you have arrangements with other people as well. And if he doesn’t understand then explain to him your feelings. I would be annoyed as well.

that’s really fucked up on his part, if it was my gf doing that i would say hell no they cant come to my house.
John | Feb 06, 2010
Nah your not over reacting, but you know at the same time things like this happen, don’t give him too hard a time =P it is family after all. Just think about it as a good way to get to know his family a bit better
then once they leave you can give him the good talking too lol, but like I said dont be too hard ;P

woahhh you need to tell this guy that your not superwoman..hes taking advantage of you and you cant lett him do that.just flat out say no. i do it all the time and i never lett ppl walk all over me..it will make you happier to stand up for yourself..trust me
MRS.JONAS..seriously. | Feb 06, 2010
Ugh! How inconsiderate! If it gets bad, I would tell them all to find a hotel. That is too much to ask especially considering you have a daughter which. Certainly voice your opinion, if not now, at least when they leave. Don’t let people walk all over you. That IS bull. You have every right to be angry.
?Gem In The Lotus | Feb 06, 2010
Tell your boyfriend you are only doing this because it is an emergency. HOWEVER, he is not allowed to leave your place. He MUST clean up after everyone himself and help you with any cooking.
He must also know that this is a one time thing and he will be paying for motel rooms for any future visits out of his own pocket. No exceptions.
Part Time Mime | Feb 06, 2010
Just tell him no. I mean that’s way too much for one person to handle and given that they aren’t even your family, that’s just ridiculous. I’m sure they could find a cheap hotel to stay in, and if need be your boyfriend can pay for it. He can’t expect you to deal with this.
Kyle | Feb 06, 2010
You can say no. If that sounds harsh, tell him you want to help, but you dont have space or time for that many people, offer to help make his place more suitable for his family. Or go out of town for a few days and let him deal alone lol
Bella | Feb 06, 2010
to bad your gay pattrack
Clubber! | Feb 06, 2010
That is so wrong. You should talk to him and tell him to let you know of things in advance
smarti3pants | Feb 06, 2010
Sounds like girlfriend abuse. Report him to the Girlfriend Abuse hotline PRONTO, I’m coming over with my family to help you out on this, OK?
Don’t worry we only have 6 coming, one less than yours. We will bring the typewriters and the file cabinet.

So….his ADULT parents are cool with this? That he’s young and stupid enough to think that’s okay is one thing, but I’m shocked the parents think this is acceptable. Shame on them, they should know better than that. I’d think I was dating a loser from a loser family and everything else you describe sort of backs that up. There’s no way I’d put up with that from my in-laws and no way I’d put my sons girlfriend in that position (when, God forbid, he begins to date). By the way…your DAUGHTER comes first!!! The news is full of stories of what happens to children when the mother is willing to put her boyfriend before her children. It should be your line in the sand no matter how small the inconvenience.

no you’re not, but if you do this with a smile on your face, your boyfriend is going to owe you BIG for valentines, just bide your time..
Use this as leverage!
well, thats a cynical point of view 
Randall Flagg | Feb 06, 2010
Stop complaining to us and tell the idiot to rent a hotel for his family.
Tell him—NO ….
What does he think you are…Motel *???
Sharon G | Feb 06, 2010
thats totally effed uop hes pretty much taking advantage of you…* hint* dont let a man walk all over you bc once you do he will always do it…just a thought*

If your boyfriend was in a tight spot, and your relationship is generally pretty solid, then perhaps this is him asking for help except not actually saying
"I need your help"
(we don’t like to say it to anyone)
I don’t think your overreacting, you’d be undereacting if you just let it slip by!
Pretty simple really, just say to him
"You owe me big time Mr!!"
Hope you guys don’t break up over this!
If he’s actually a douche though and does stuff like this often, then if I were you kick out his family, and tell him that was the last straw!
Apologise to his parents since you know them, saying something along the lines of
"I gotta be honest, your son is a dick he didn’t give me any notice in advance"
Then his parents will speak to him and tada, situation should resolve itself, and they leave sooner than would of been otherwise.
Goodluck.

I wish you hadn’t rearranged your life to accommodate your boyfriend’s family, because that just indicates to him his behaviour is acceptable, and it really isn’t. What he should have done in the beginning is tell his family he can’t let them all stay with him and they will have to sleep elsewhere. Really, everyone’s behaviour here is pretty gauche (except yours) — your boyfriend’s parents for allowing other relatives to accompany them and your boyfriend for trying to make this your problem.
Nevertheless, you agreed to let these people into your home, so now you have to do it. I wouldn’t do any extra work to impress these people though. If they break anything, ask them nicely where to send the bill. If the boys misbehave, correct them. If their parents resist, tell them the rules in your house do not permit that behaviour and, if they don’t like the rules, they are welcome to stay elsewhere. Smile as you say it. Stand your ground. It is not rude to stand up for yourself and insist on good behaviour in your home.
Your boyfriend owes you big time for this, and don’t let him forget it. And next time his clan shows up, let him know your place is off limits. Tell him where his family can find hotels and motels and wish him good luck.
Good luck.

You’re not his wife. Your house is not his house. Do you want to marry this guy? He’s going to pull this crap later and not even offer to help clean up (which is what he is doing now too). Did he even offer to buy groceries? Take them out to eat so you could have some quiet time to deal with the aftermath (I’m thinking brunch the next day or something)? Did it even occur to him to put them up in a hotel himself? With 7 of them the wage-earning adults could consider splitting the bill… This guy is way inconsiderate, and his family has got him cowed. Think about if you all got married. Ufff…
