3 is company....?
So H's friend is moving in with us indefinitely...
He got an unpaid internship from August to May at USF and is moving here from Philly (where H is from) and is living with us while he looks for a paying gig at night like bartending or something so he can save up and go out on his own. H asked me and I said it was ok because I know he would do the same thing for me if I had a friend who needed somewhere to live. And actually I have kind of been helping out one of my former students financially and H has been supportive of her as well for me.. so I guess we are both just in the helping mood lately.
H and I have lived together, just us, for 5 years now so it's going to be weird I think. Like I won't be able to walk around in my undies anymore. Hm.
Re: 3 is company....?
Ditto!!
I thought the same thing! Good luck with the new roommate, but I'm sure it'll be fine after you adjust.
I thought this was a BFP too! One of H's friends lived with us before we got married for 3 months and I absolutely hated it. It didnt help that I worked from home and he worked in a restaurant, so he rolled in in the middle of the night and i was one room over working when he was waking up/showering etc. I'm sure it would have been better if I wasn't home all day. All I can say is make sure you set some ground rules in the beginning about everything. Cleaning, having people over, food, etc.
People from Philly are awesome. I'm sure he will be good people.
But seriously, I understand it will be weird to have someone move in with you guys....Good luck?
Let me know if you guys ever want to meet up and watch an Eagles game:)
This is why I dread Hannah growing up more than she is now. I do this all.the.time.
Lol, I do also. I've thought about that. I will have to change or my son/daughter will be embarrassed of me.
Looks like a lot of us thought it was a BFP announcement!
H and I had a friend of his move in with us temporarily a few years ago. At first, I thought it would be harder but it wasn't bad. Sure, I had to make sure I was fully clothed whenever I left the bedroom or bathroom but it wasn't bad once I got used to it. We all worked crazy hours but we had fun hanging out.
I hope it works out well. I can't really offer any advice because the only men I have ever "lived with" besides my husband (and that only after we got married) were my younger brother (and SIL, nephew & niece) and an uncle (and aunt & 2 teen female cousins). Obviously, I dressed "decent" whenever at home at these two places, but at least I was related to these guys. Living with my husband, though, I tend to walk around half bare in the mornings and sometimes in the evenings right before bed.
I don't think I'd even want one of my husband's brothers living with us for any length of time, and Felix and I have discussed this and he is totally understanding of my position.
Sorry about that, I didn't realize everyone would think that (bfp) haha.
Yes, we will see how it goes. I do know him pretty well so I feel like I trust him and all of that, and I'm letting H set the ground rules and all of that because he has no problem with putting his friend in his place if he is doing anything awkward like bring him girls - which is not going to happen under my roof. lol.
