Husband's cousin wants to move in?
Hello all,
I got married on July 2011!! My husband's cousin (24 yrs old & lives in the Bronx, NY) who just found out is pregnant and was dating 3 guys plus has a girlfriend ( she is gay too) wants to move in with us because he says, she cant take it anymore and she hates where she lives (her grandma's house with 5 more people). I told my husband it is not our problem that this has happened to her, she has never worked because she is used to live off the money the guys she dates give her. He says he doesnt see anything wrong but besides her being very problematic,, ghetto and lazy, I DO NOT think is a good idea for her to move with us to Virginia. I told him that I dont want her in my house plus we are still newlyweds. I forgot to mention that when I first met her, I felt like everybody at ther grandmas' house was giving looks from head to toe. I honestly dont believe this is a good idea..Please help me with some opinions, etc!

Oh hell no.

What kind of opinion do you want. It's obvious to you and the rest of the world (most likely) that it isn't a good idea. No, scratch that- it's a terrible idea. But it doesn't matter what we think, it matters that your husband for whatever reason thinks it sounds fab.
Did you never dicuss feelings on family and how far you're each willing to go for them? I know MH and I discussed family ad nauseum and we are totally on the same page- we didn't even tell family we have a somewhat hidden guest room lest they wanted to come stay a weekend, nevermind indefinitely. But that's us. And that's not right for everyone but the main thing is that you just have to be on the same page, and you're not. That's where the problem is.

This is a joke, right?? Why do you think I should let her move in?
Do you really need internet people to weigh in on just bad an idea this is? Why would you even entertain someone having reasons why she should?
No, don't let her move in with you! I let Christin move in with me because she was pregnant and she has been living in my apartment and eating all of my JELLY BEANS and sometimes when I come home from taking the kids on a walk (Christin never wants to come with when we go on a walk, WHATEVER) I find her in my bedroom and I'm SURE that Christin has been trying on my lingerie and I'm thinking of maybe getting some of that fingerprinting dust for my dresser and maybe my *naughty things* too because I THINK SHE'S BEEN USING THAT TOO. And she won't get a job because she's pregnant and says she needs to use all her energy to grow her baby and that if she works she'll probably have a miscarriage and that I don't want that on my head! And the other night she took a bath and she re-filled the tub like eight times and then when I went to wash my hair there was no hot water AND there were jelly bean food dye smears all on the edge of the tub WHO EATS JELLY BEANS IN The TUB?
SO DON'T LISTEN TO CHRISTIN! SHE'S JUST A FREELOADER HERSELF.

Listen to Christin, she's very smart.
Look, the cousin if from NYC and everyone knows tht people from NYC are very rich. So why would they need to mve in with you?
Something very odd is going on hear. I think that it's more than just jellybeans too!
