My sister wants to move in with me, how do I say no?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Probably she will get her feelings a little hurt, but I doubt it will be a big deal. Depends on your relationship with her and her personality. You would know better than us how she will react. Does she live with your/her parents still? Is she going to school? Working? Does she expect to stay with you rent free? Assuming she expects to help pay rent, just suggest to her she move in with some friends and that you prefer to live alone. If she hates where she lives right now you could offer to let her stay with you a month or two until she finds somewhere else to live.
