How do I tell my friend she cant move in with us?

The best way to do this is to be up front and honest. If you make up an excuse, she may inquire later about moving in again. Tell her the truth and she won't be asking anymore. Your daughter is most important and you want to build a home for her. Good luck.

you have to take a tough decision. if you really dont want her long time then tell her. if she is a good friend she should understand. tell her you are now used to staying alone with your daughter and it will be uncomfortable if she comes in. at times you have to weigh the pros & cons and take a tough decision to do what you want.

jen, i feel you should tell your friend that you really like her and that you would like to help her but can't support her permanently. if she liked she can stay with you for short while. Because you can explain your personal reasons and that you won't be able to support her as you are not in a position to as you have to fend for yourself and your little daughter. I think if she is your really true friend she will understand your problems and will not try to burden you or try to take advantage of you. But you should be polite and firm with her and tell your reasons frankly. because if you delay telling her then it might becoem harder for you to explain to hr when moves in and then you won't want o look like a bad person. Congrats on moving into new and better house. hwere is my treat? kidding. good luck.

If she hasn't explicilty mentioned that she wants to stay with her then you can just tell her that how much you are looking forward to moving into the new house and the extra space. Tell her how difficult it was for you to stay in a small flat till now. And also make it clear to her that your daughter likes to live freely without any intrudings.

Just tell her there isnt enough room in the house for her to move in.

i think you made your point clear that what you want. I experienced that the persons who made their points clear they are successful persons because they dont have any thing in their heart.

Maybe you should help her to find a job for her to live with her own. Maybe you should tell her that you can accept her just for a few days.

You will just have to be honest with her. If she is a true friend, she will respect what you want. Tell her short term is fine. Maybe you can even help her look for a place so she won't be in a bind. Good luck.

Yeah I would just be honest. Tell her that you're just starting out in this new home with your daughter & you think it would be best if it was just the two of you for now. You could even offer to help her find a place to stay to help soften the blow.

well I think you are being just too miser becouse may be she is settled now and just want tomove in for some time.have patience and everything will be ok.shehas trust in you dear just dont break that and dishearten her.

I was going to say what cinnabunch said, to tell her that the landlord won't let anybody else move in. How many bedrooms does this house have? If there are three, I would tell her that I was using the spare as an office. This is a tough issue. Will she just show up at your house?

try to discuss that prob with her by telling her no by any means or give some excuses she will understand it by herelf

just calm down dnt panic....just tell ur problems ....if shes ur gud frnd she will understand!!!!

just tell her there isnt enough room.. and hope she understands your meaning.. :)

Just Explain to your friend the situation.

yeah with small flat it would be a tough job to accomodate all of you.So I think you should genuinely talk to her and share the problem with her and if she really understands you and don't want to hurt you then she will really understand the problem,but if you think that by doing so you will be hurting the long freindship then make any fake excuses and I think it will be more risky than going and telling her the truth.

Always tell the truth, but and if you are a friend and she has no where to go you could help her out if and only if it does not interfere with your daughters needs, and make it clear from the beginning that it is only for a few days until she finds a place and if you have the time you could help her find a place.

Since you were getting the place for you and your daughter,then you and your daughter should live in it,sometimes you do not really know a person until you live together.and then you are sorry that you are living together,nip it in the bud,tell her that you do not think that it would be a good idea.tell her that you want you and your daughter to enjoy your first real home togther,but tell her that you will be more than happy to help her to find a place.

just tell her directly that ur moving in a smaller place and u cannot accomodate her. so that she can find a place for her own!

heh jen... as my mind goes...if she really understands u then u muss frankly tell her abt problems tat u may face... nd if she deserve being ur frend then she will never try and add to ur troubles
