Would appreciate advice!

So.. Me and my hubby roommate with my brother and his bf as a form of saving money. My brother and I have always been the type of people that like to help when we can which is something people have always admired about us. Lately tho, I feel like my brother is kinda pushin it! He keeps trying to get his friends or co-workers ((who are in danger of having no where to live)) to live with us! We don't have a spare room so these people would be sleeping on the couch in the living room. The past week he's been trying to talk me into letting his co-worker & the co-workers gf come sleep on the couch. He said they'd ne paying rent but idk these people, and don't want strangers in my home. I keep telling him, "I'm pregnant & extremely uncomfortable with this idea!" & he calls me selfish! I don't want to fight about it but think that my only other option would be to move which I really don't wanna do. How would you deal with it!?

Dont sign the lease again & move out just you and your bf. You wont save as much as you are now but you will be much more comfortable and you can bring your baby home and have no worries. Good luck hun hope things work out for you.

Tell him your place isn't a hotel . If something got stolen the blame would be on him. He would be especially mad if its something of his. The best way for him to help people like that is to give them the numbers of a social worker . I would even go so far as to tell his coworkers straight they can't move in. What's he going to do? Yell? Like he's not doing it now anyways.

It's both of our place. We both signed the lease but it's time to sign a new lease and I'm not gonna sign if he brings these people here.

Even being pregnant, you don't know these people or their mental stability, and god forbid you be left alone with one of them and something happen to you, I would say absolutely not, it's not an option and if you keep asking me then I'll be finding a different place, I bet he'll stop bugging you about it!

Is it your place or his? If it's his I would just move.

I've been trying to stand by it but everyday when he comes home from work he's back at it again. He said they'd be gone before baby comes home but I'm reaaally uncomfortable with the idea of it.

That's exactly what I've told him! He told me, "oh just don't stress over them, they'll be my problem!" And I'm like wtf?? I'm here all day! I would have to deal with these people & I'm not up for it! I am considering moving.. Then he can have all the homeless people he wants here

Personally, I wouldn't want to bring a baby home to a house where there was complete strangers in it. You really need to voice your opinions and not worry about hurting his feelings, because it is completely logical for you to feel the way you do. Just tell him no and stand by your word.

Just keep your foot down. If you aren't okay with it keep making it clear but honestly your best option is to move if you two aren't agreeing. You don't need that stress when pregnant and you certainly shouldn't have to deal with that when your baby comes. Try to make it clear that there just isn't any room for more people, especially when the baby comes.
