  1. NTA. He’s staying with you guys and he’s doing no other chores, so why is asking him to help shovel the front when that’s what *he uses* and not you two such a crime?

  2. Wow, id feel like a lowlife moving in with my son and his girlfriend. Especially after getting kicked out of the brothers crib too. Does he work?

  3. OP, this isn’t going to work. You go in that house tell him he needs to help. And then afterwards you sit down with him and tell him that if he’s going to stay with you, he has to contribute to the house by doing chores. What are you thinking, letting him do nothing?

    1. You right definitely should say something like I don’t mind him being here cause ik he in a tough spot in life it happens but cmon bruh least help out he buys food which is cool but if me and his daughter can go outside to shovel idk y he cant (she only without to shovel cause i was in the shower earlier and idk she was doing it)

  4. NTA. You were asking him to contribute while staying in your home. He’s an able-bodied adult, not a guest at a hotel.

  5. Well if he’s the only one going out the front…….Just leave the front, no worries, maybe he’ll get the hint.

  6. INFO: How is his health generally? There’s a reason heavy snow is called a widowmaker. He definitely should be helping out while he’s staying there but shoveling snow is not necessarily safe for him.

  7. NTA, if you’ve had him in your house for two weeks already I would suggest you start looking to kick him out before he meets the 30 day mark because you don’t wanna deal with a family squatter.
    This won’t work, sounds problematic and this is your home, you deserve peace in your place of domicile.

  8. In all seriousness. You have to work on your punctuation. That was a tough read.

    And he should definitely be helping out.
