It's technically my girlfriend's place and she got it for her mother. Her mumcan't work because she's the carer of my girlfriend's aunt who had a stroke. Her husband left her and they had to sell the house so this is the solution to keep her family out of renting forever.
Her brother has been allowed to stay in his room so he's in his mid 20s and has never had a job before. He's autistic but that's no reason to let him become a shut-in with no prospects.
Wow. Sounds like a lot dude. Respect for helping out family like that.
It's not ideal and it's tough. I just wish everyone was trying their hardest to make it work here
to be really blunt, I think it should be a requirement rather than a wish if yous girlfriends place.
I feel that way too. I think we'll need to have more serious conversations about how things are done here
