[QUOTE="witzend, post: 259540, member: 99"] I'm with Nomad. Your husband should be beholden to you, not his son. "Forsaking all others..." It's time that husband understands where his loyalties should be. Above and beyond what type of example he is setting for Manster, and that he is wasting his life at your expense, he should be expected to contribute to the household. I don't think I'd sweat the sleeping thing, because once I gave him the rent bill, I think he'd be moving out. But, I'd charge significantly more than $250 if he's eating $200 in food. I assume he is taking showers, using soap, shampoo, laundry, electricity, phone, computer, etc. I would want to charge closer to $500 - $600. But, whatever amount you are comfortable with is right. ;) Honestly, I don't think that's an unreasonable amount for a person taking in $1,600 a month with only a $200 obligation to pay, especially if they are not contributing in any other meaningful way. I mean, you wouldn't let a stranger live there for free, and that's essentially what he is being in the basement to your family. Good luck getting your man to step up and do the right thing. [/QUOTE]
