jmohme Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 My wife told me this morning the her brother is coming by today to stay with us after having spent the last couple months traveling the country in his RV. I told her no and that I didn't want him in the house for at least two weeks. Am I wrong? Its not like I am going to turn him out to the wolves. I'm even going to the state park two miles from the house and getting him a spot for his RV. I just don't know where he has been or who he has been in contact with. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Probably, but my wife is also in the high risk group and does not need to take any chances.

gwalchmai Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I think you're reasons are valid. (Respectfully) Your wife should not get to overrule you based on emotion here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really it's your house. However, with him being within walking distance at the local state park that's he best option. That way you can enjoy your time together, maybe even have a fire and a cook out, maybe he can come over...but he won't be moving in. The big thing is really they need to respect you as it's your house. Personally i hang garlic up about the doors and windows to keep my sister-in-law away. That and the crosses in each room. It seems to have worked. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricordo Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Before rushing into a decision, ask him how many TP rolls he has with him. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minervadoe Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Staying in his R.V. sounds like a perfect way to prevent the spread of the covid-19 virus. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPQer Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I would be more concerned about what your wife is thinking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwalchmai Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 If you wanted to bring home a young lady who was working her way through dental school by being an exotic dancer, and your wife objected, you'd respect your wife's wishes. You're both partners in the marriage and must respect the other's wishes in these matters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadbart Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Gwalchmai hits the nail directly on the head. I'd say you're being quite reasonable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Longmire Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 He can live in his RV. Or die in it. Not in your house. Is his name Cousin Eddie? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Am I wrong for going through airports this week and weekend? I'm pretty sure that Patient Zero in the US was probably one of those TSA bins that everyone has to use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fnfalman Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 What kind of guns and ammo does he have in his RV? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janice6 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Is he backup or another liability! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipedreams Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I would discuss it with him, but I think he would agree with you and besides he's used to his RV and his privacy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batesmotel Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) I hate crap like “But he’s family”. In my case this means I’m supposed to let dirt bags and drug dealers just walk all over me because they screwed up again. I don’t let them but it leads to some great family fights.

holyjohnson Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 nope, not wrong or out of line at all to not want someone who has been traveling all over to stay with you right now. hope the solution is good for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
