Annoyed that my brother has remained so long / wishing I had my basement back for no specific reason other than missing my space.
It’s been years. No idea why lately it’s different for me. Perhaps my tolerance is nearing its end. I dunno.
Feels shitty. Shitty because his presence sometimes irks me. Feels shitty because im not sure what/where his options lay these days, despite me providing a rent free space so he could save up/get back on his feet.
Bah.
Sorry to hear that. Can he contribute towards rent at least?

Hey thanks!
Yes but I don’t want him to.
The deal is he saves everything so his time here is efficient. When the day comes I give him the move-out date, there should be more saved.
He buys his own food etc. Pays his bills, and makes a token repayment to me from a long ago loan.
I cover the housing/utilities etc.
The increase in cost is not unmanageable to me, but would hinder his savings.
It’s more of a me / space thing I think.
