Any words of advice but don't let him. The eldest lad is splitting from his girlfriend of ?yrs and moving back home.:gag: :gag:

Just when you thought you had got rid the boomerang comes back.

Tell him you charge £50 a week for board & lodgings ;) that'll soon stir him to find his own place :lol:

bar the windows,change the locks,when he knocks hide behind the settee :D

seriously,id say "ground rules" when my older brother came back after 10 years,he spent the next 10 treating home like a cheap hotel,
JJ..

You are not a hotel.

He is responsible for his room.
He does his share of the household chores.
He takes his turn at cooking meals.
He pays his share of the bills, gas, electricity, water, council tax, phone, etc.

Yep, he might want to keep his independence though and might not move home for long at all.

I certainly wouldnt think of moving back home to me mams if I ever split with the missus, I need my independence too much now.

Tell him no bringing girls home to bang.

i second this!

Get yourself a rent book just to reinforce the point. Nothing like hammering the point home - It may well spur him on to sort out his own place.
