Dear cupid,i live in a two bedroom apartment with my three young boys. They used to have their own room. My sister move in with us which i thought was going to be for a short time. She has a two yr old son and a bulldog. I asked her to give the dog up for adoption since she had no place of her own,she ignord me.

It's almost a year now,my three boys are in my bedroom, i have no privacy,my sister has taken over my kids room with her son and her dog. Not that i dont like the dog,i just think the place is not big enough for everybody.

She is not contributing to anything,Rent,cable or the internet which she uses everyday.

What should i do about this situation because am not really happy about all this.

Dear cupid,am a single mom of three wonderful young boys.

when my boyfriend moved out i wanted to move to a small place that i can aford alone,at the same time my sister was planing to move.So she asked if she can move in with me and help with the rent,i thought that was a good idea because i loved the place i wanted to stay.

It's almost a year now since my sister moved in,has never contributed a cent to anything,buys food when she wants to eat.I dont have a fultime job,having a hard time keeping up with the bills.when i need to do something,i have to pay someone to look after my kids while my sister sleeps all day.I have tried to make her be usefull but it's not working.

BondGirl72 agony auntI think 30 days is being extremely generous after she has so rudely taken away space from you and your three boys and overstayed her welcome. I would give her two weeks to get out.

This should teach you a very important lesson in life. If you already have enough responsibilities in life, you don't take on more. Never let someone else live with you. No matter who it is, they will always take advantage, overstay their welcome, or worse.

You should go to the sheriffs office and see what you can do legally. In the u.s. It doesnt matter if the person contributes or not legally if they get their mail there you have to go through the eviction process and then give them 60 days. Hopefully in canada its different.

Honeypie agony auntGive her 30 days to find a new place and ask her to leave. She is your sister, but you are NOT your sister's keeper.
