So long story short, my brothers friend we hardly know parent asks if there kid can stay at our hous for three days. My mom was so taken aback and didn't know what to say she just said I guess I'll have to talk to my husband. Well we forgot about it and today they show up at our house and drop him off and they didn't even give him any money for food or anything. Also, we really don't have the money to support him. I've hardly eaten nor has my family for the past few days because we are waiting for my dad to get paid. We really don't have the money to feed an extra person. We hardly know this kid. The parents are off at some motorcycle thing. How do we get this kid out of our house.
Consider it a lesson, and learn from it. If your mother wasn't able to take care of this child she should have told his parents so as soon as they asked. I will be the first to admit it was irresponsible and fairly stupid of this child's mother to not call and confirm this visit when your mother gave such a vague answer. However what's done is done, so live with it. It's only three days. [ Melody's advice column | Ask Melody A Question ]

Believe me, compared to living with them, going a little hungry will seem like a walk in the park for him, and maybe you can even show him what a real family that works together looks like. It is inconvenient timing for your family, true, but a good deed will always come back to you. [ kristamikele's advice column | Ask kristamikele A Question ]
