I let a friend of mine stay in our place because she and her husband don't have a place to stay and my friend is pregnant. The husband just lose his job too so i let them stay in the house. Now the husband has found job already and been working for a month now. I would love to have my friend at home but i hate it coz the man seems not to care of my friend at all. And he doesn't have any respect coz he argues with his wife and curse her infront of me. He doesn't have any respect of us at all. I have my children and i don't want them to witness situations like this. I have decided to tell them to find a place of their own now and get out of my house. Am i too cruel or i did just what is right?

Of course you have the final say. You are in-charge of the house so you can be honest and tell them what you want. It is not being cruel but being practical. You helped them already and now, it's time to move on. It's difficult to have another family in your home who are quarreling and cursing in front of your kids.

thanks! It makes me feel better to hear that. She's been a good friend thats why my sympathy is for her. But you are right about that.

You made the right decision. To thine own self be true. You helped them, you put yourself and your family out to do so and the very least you deserve is some friggin respect in your own home.

I think you are doing the right thing by telling them this. It's your house after all and you have the final verdict. If they are causing too much of a problem , its right to ask them to leave.

What you did is just right. You don't only taught them to stand on their own but you do your children a favor. You should be the one in control because that is your house, and if they cannot follow the rules specially cannot behave like responsible adult, then there's no reason for them to stay.
It's not cruelty, you're just doing the right thing.

in my opinion, you have done enough and now it is time for them to search for a new house. may be your friend is pregnant and helpless. but her husband should learn to behave well. so, you can ask them to look for a new house. you tell them that you dont like your children learning such rubbish things from that guy and ask them to get off.
