ELIZABETH FISHER/USA NETWORK
Mr. Robot (USA at 10 on Sunday) In the series’s final season — which will
be the longest to date, with 13 episodes — the relationship between Elliot
(Rami Malek, left) and Mr. Robot (Christian Slater) deepens.
Adapted from a
recent online
discussion.Dear Carolyn: I
agreed to it
when my
husband, “Steve,”
asked whether
his niece could
stay with us over the summer.
“Samantha” is a recent college
graduate, and she’s stayed with
us before for one or two weeks
during school breaks. We have
two kids, in high school and
middle school, and school is
back in full swing. Samantha
has a low-paying, part-time job
and is looking for a full-time
job and considering graduate
school.
Samantha now wants to stay
“until she gets on her own two
feet.” Her parents don’t live in
the States, but she could easily
rent a room with her peers.
It’s been over three months,
and I feel that we’ve been more
than gracious hosting her,
cooking, taking her on a trip
and providing for her needs
without expecting anything in
return. We are a busy family;
the kids have multiple sports
and activities during the week,
we both work full time, and this
is causing tension in the family.
Steve and Samantha’s dad are
really close, and Steve has a
hard time saying no. I’m ready
to end Samantha’s “summer
vacation.”
It’s not the money or the
space. I just don’t want to be
responsible for a young adult; it
opens up a different set of
challenges and issues.
How do I put a deadline on
this without being rude and
without damaging our
marriage?
— ReadyReady: A deadline isn’t rude.
It’s your home, so you and your
husband theoretically could — if
he agreed to it — simply say no
to her request to extend her
stay.
The nice way to do it is to say
something that is both kind and
honest and then be direct.
Maybe: “We have really enjoyed
getting to know you over these
past three months. We just need
to get our household back to its
routine. We will be happy to
help you find another place,
though.”
If Steve’s merely
uncomfortable with this, thenyou volunteer to be the
messenger. If Steve is
completely opposed to kicking
Samantha out, then ask him
where he’d draw the line on
her stay, if anywhere, then
work toward each other from
there to a time frame you both
can bear.
As I read your question,
though, all I could think was:
You both work full time, your
kids have multiple sports and
activities... so why isn’t
Samantha driving and cooking
and (ugh) grocery shopping for
you, as part of the terms of her
living in your home? Why are
you “hosting” and “providing
for [the] needs” of a
productive, fully grown person
who is no longer a guest butinstead someone who
considers your household her
home?
An adult — even a young one
— is not your responsibility, and
she doesn’t become that just for
living under your roof.
I realize I’m biased. But as
someone in your position
almost exactly, the idea of a
third adult — family no less! —
to help run the family
machinery just sounds like bliss
