My brother's just got to know this gal less than 5 months, but she has moved into our house, living off him totally! free lodging, free food, free transport (she drives his car) free soap and shampoo! She just quit her job since Jan and she has been leeching off him since! She has no manners whereby when she comes home she would not greed my parents and treat them like they dont exist. when my parents highlighted this to my bro, she took action by coming home past 12 midnite when everybody has slept and empty the fridge like she's never eaten the whole day! She has also squeezed out a diamond ring out of my bro for her birthday present costing $1000+! The problem is that we cant ask her to move out coz my bro is head over heels over her like being under some kind of spell. Also this woman is famous for leeching off her men till they are dry and also famous in fighting (physically and verbally). I would need a plan to kick her out without her knowing what even hit her, coz if she had known I planned this, she'd probably kill or poison me discreetly since she always loitering around the house when everybody is sleeping! God knows what she is capable of! Pls help! Need advise!

Firstly, your brother, despite paying his and her way, has no say in whether this girl can move into your house, except as a single family member. Secondly, it seems to me that she is very inconsiderate of anybody other than herself. So, having considered this, here's what I would do, if I were your Mum or Dad, and the owner of the house. First, I would call a family meeting of all those contributing towards the upkeep of the home, and the food... in other words, exclude her, or call the meeting for when she was not at home. At this meeting, I would encourage all to give their honest opinion of this girl, her attitude, her selfishness, and her inability to contribute or replace food she eats which others have paid for. Naturally, if he is "head over heels" in love with this girl, your brother is going to challenge whatever you say, but if it ends up three to one, and he won't agree to moving her back out again, then he should surely be given a compromise? Either he asks her to leave, being the one who brought her into the house, he stipulates that she must get a job and contribute within say, two weeks, or he must leave with her and continue to support her in the way he is. We both know he will never manage to do that for very long, because she isn't contributing. Maybe then, he will appreciate how important it is to put something into a relationship instead of taking out all the time. You then need to face her as a family, telling her the results of the Family Meeting, unless your brother can sort it out without too many problems. There's no other way but to tell her your decision, in a calm, but strict manner, and show her the door, I'm afraid, unless she can prove to you that she wants to stay by getting a job within fourteen days and adding her contribution to the general wear and tear of the house, laundry facilities, heating, bathing facilities and food. Don't let her walk all over you... show her you mean it, but in the nicest possible way. Brightest Blessings, in the hope this might help, and good luck with whatever you decide is the solution.

So, as your brother is a part of your family, he should be present at the meeting regardless. He has to be made to see that this type of behaviour is not on, whether he be the apple of your parents' eyes or not. It's not fair on you, or them, especially now he's brought her home too and she's disrupting family life. Have you thought that he may just have brought her home to avoid a confrontation? Maybe she has something on him that he had no choice? You know, this really has to be nipped in the bud. She should not be able to "terrorise" any other human into giving her what she wants to survive whatever dark life she leads. This is nothing short of sleazy, underground cunning. Sheeeeeeeeesh, hire a strongarmed man to eject her from the house, and keep her away! lol.

thanks! i think your suggestion is most rationalized and structured way.. and definitely would work if she is a 'normal' gal in a normal circumstances. the 'abnormal" circumstances in my case is that my bro is the apple of my parents eyes so they succumb to whatever he wants. Oh yes btw, even my bro is not contributing anything to the bills either. it's my parents and me. I seriously want to avoid telling her to her straight, coz no matter how nicely i put it, this woman is known to go crazy and i dont want to have acid thrown on my face. I need to find a way to deal this discreetly :( :(

An added word on your brother. If your parents go against him and upset him, he will, in time, see their reasoning, and he will return to them when he realises that their love and care is paramount to any other in the World.

Why don't your parents just tell your brother to move out and take her with him? Give him the ultimatum instead of her. Sound like he needs to be responsible for her moving in and he should get his own place if they want to live together.

my parents have been complaining behind her. But nobody is willing to say anything to keep the peace at home and nobody wants to be the "bad guy". Plus my bro is the apple of my parents eyes.

Sounds like your parents need to make some house rules, number one being do not bring others to live in the home. They need to encourage them to move out, I am sure your brother can afford this, and to live on their won.

OMG, sounds like you are in a precarious situation. Since you and your parents pay the way there. I'd suggest you and them sit down and talk. After this include your brother pn another dicussion letting him know what has transpired in your meeting and your concerns. Apologize for not including him in the first meeting. But tell him your concerns. She needs to get a job! A time limit needs to be set. You could also give her the news paper and let her know that you saw some places that if she were working that she could move into. Set down ground rules in your home. If this does not work, then would you be willing to move? If so, tell your parents that you can no longer tolerate this behavior from this girl. Let them know you are willing to move if need be. Be courageous and let your feelings be known. Your rights in the home should not be a minor thing. As a family you need to come together. No matter how your parents feel about your brother, they do not want you to be unhappy. They do love you. By the way, I had a "guest" that I gave the news paper to and told him that I saw some affordable places for him. Likewise, this person was not contributing to anything in this home. He got the message and moved out with his next pay check. Best of luck to you and Bright Blessings.

I would have a big problem with this. If you live in my house you follow my rules. If it was my parents house you would have to respect them or be out on you butt.Your brother needs to open his eyes and speak up to her.If she cares for him she should respect his wishes.

its my parents house and they have been complaining abt her but they do not want to get involved in my bro's love life, and nobody wants to be the "bad guy" to keep the peace at home.

if the girl is a pro, try collecting evidences that would pin her down. Also, try talking to your brother about this and tell him that your parents are no longer happy with what he is doing. If he intends to get serious with the girl, its better that he must move out of your parents house and live on their own. Tell your parents about what you feel too, Even if he is the apple of their eye, try your best to persuade them that you are no longer comfortable with the setup in your house. You are also their child and your brother and his gf are not showing you good example. tell them they would not want a daughter doing the things your bro's gf is doing. Good luck and pray hard that your big bro could get to his senses as soon as possible.
