You had some of those people living with you recently, didn't you? How did that saga end? I'm not sure if you updated or not.
I didn't update. What I did do was enforce the agreed-upon departure date. I did this, operating entirely within the law. But as those who are familiar with my landlording strategies are aware, I'm not a nice person.
It took a few months to restore the house to some semblance of its former order, but nearly all trace of them is now gone.
I remember reading about these "tenants" but I can't recall which thread they were under, care to help me out?
Also, has your daughter learned from this? I recall you saying that you housed them in order to educate your daughter.
I can help. It was in Overheard on Facebook. Starts here: http://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/antimustachian-wall-of-shame-and-comedy/overheard-on-facebook/msg1181250/#msg1181250
My daughter has learned many things, although her housekeeping skills have regressed. Specifically, she has learned:
* She is not an adult
* She is not independent financially
* She is not in a position to support a family
* She is not ready to take on the responsibility of child care (can you hear those little tubes tying themselves? I can...)
* Babies and toddlers may be cute but they're a ton of work
* Cleaning up after other people sucks atomic monkey balls
* The entitlement class can afford to overspend because someone else covers their basic expenses; it's easy to get by and enjoy a very high standard of living when you mooch off someone else
* When you do something for somebody that they're capable of doing for themselves, they NEVER STEP UP
* A member of the entitlement class is not your friend, no matter how charming they may be
* No matter what you do for an adult member of the entitlement class, it's never enough
* When the (adult shaped) infant is actually removed from the nipple, there will be a tantrum
* The Velociraptor play sucks when you're the one on the receiving end, and
* I know what the fuck I'm talking about when I tell her no good will come of something, and finally
* I'm really not a nice person, I'm just very kind to the people I favor, and her particularly
Overall I believe I've enabler-proofed my child and given her the wherewithal to stop that kind of relationship early. For that, I'll tolerate some damage to drywall, carpet, and other things.
I also learned some things about my daughter: she hates my guts, we have an attachment problem, and in order to change her situation she must be allowed to become physically, emotionally, mentally, or financially uncomfortable enough to come up with the fix herself.
