Guy Refuses To Let His Brother And GF Disrespect His Baby’s Mom, Kicks Them Out Immediately
You know what they say, “Mi casa es su casa.” Sure, but that doesn’t apply when someone starts treating that “casa” like it’s a frat house. One minute you’re being the “nice one” offering shelter, the next, your fridge is empty, your bathroom smells suspicious, and there are random strangers hanging out in your living room.
One generous Redditor opened his home to his brother and his girlfriend after they got evicted, but had to kick them out when they disrespected his house and his son’s mom too many times.

The man kicked out his brother and his girlfriend, giving them 30 days to leave, after being told he’s too sensitive for having rules
The OP (original poster), a 30-year-old dad, got himself a new pad – nothing fancy, but perfect for himself and his 6-year-old son. But before he could unpack, his younger brother, Tyrell, and his girlfriend, Amber, knocked on his door after getting evicted, asking for a place to crash. The OP didn’t really want to say yes, but figured it’d be temporary.
At first it was cool – quiet, chill, almost like they respected the space. But somehow, between week 3 and week 5, the couple decided the OP’s place was their own private Airbnb, minus the cleaning fee. They invited random guests over when the OP was at work, trashed the house, cranked up the music while the kiddo was trying to sleep and Amber lit up in the bathroom, twice.
If that wasn’t enough, Amber took her inner mean girl to new heights by throwing unnecessary jabs at the OP’s ex, his son’s mom, every time she came to pick up or drop off their child. All said with that signature backhanded sweetness that could curdle milk.
But the OP and his ex are actually on good terms and they co-parent like champs. So, when his son’s mom told him the comments were making her uncomfortable, he confronted the live-in couple. Tyrell’s reaction? A classic: “Stop being sensitive.” And that was the last straw for our tired, responsible, boundary-having dad.
He handed them 30 days’ notice to find a new spot, but had to deal with the family guilt parade. His mom pulled out the old “family sticks together” card, and Amber started tossing out subliminal shade on Facebook. But our guy didn’t budge, because his house isn’t a drama den. It’s a home for his son. Just because someone is family doesn’t mean they get a free pass to disrespecting you.

Because respect isn’t optional and boundaries aren’t just for toddlers and garden fences—they’re for grown-ups too. When someone starts treating you like a doormat instead of a door-opener, it’s time to speak up. Whether it’s snide comments, loud behavior, or just a total disregard for your space, don’t second-guess yourself.
You’re allowed to say, “This doesn’t fly here,” without guilt. When dealing with disrespectful people, be clear, be calm, and don’t wait for a “final straw” moment. The longer you tolerate it, the harder it is to change. And don’t be afraid to follow up with consequences, like a deadline to move out. After all, your home is a sacred place, and if your guests can’t respect it, they can find another place to live.
Because being a good houseguest isn’t rocket science—it’s mostly common sense wrapped in basic human decency. Clean up after yourself, offer to help with chores or groceries, and respect the house rules like they’re sacred scripture.
Don’t overstay your welcome—if someone offers you a place “for a few weeks,” don’t treat that like an open-ended lease. Communicate about your plans and be mindful of how your presence impacts others in the home, especially kids. Gratitude goes a long way – a simple “thank you,” or a nice gesture , like making dinner or restocking the coffee, can make a world of difference.

Well, now we have a glimpse into why the brother and his girlfriend were evicted. Bet they haven’t even contribute thin dime to OP’s bills and groceries either. Now, when I was young and starting out, there were a couple times between roommates (normal reasons, like a roommate getting married or moving out of the area, and I couldn’t afford the rent all on my own) when my oldest brother let me stay at his house until I found another place to live. When I was there, I made as small and light a footprint on his property and his family’s normal routines as I possibly could. I never had anyone over, and always went to my friends’ houses instead. I kept the guest room clean and tidy, I bought and prepared my own food and cleaned the dishes and pots and pans right away, dried them, and put them away in the same clean condition they were in before I used them. I also paid my brother for my portion of the bills, even though he never asked me to, because I was using his electricity and water and such. But most of all, I made damned sure my stay there was TEMPORARY. My goal was to crash there ONLY until I could find another roommate and place to live, NOT take up permanent residence, be a total slob, and freeload off my brother. That is the quickest way to get yourself completely alienated from your family. I have witnessed that happen to too many people, and it never ends pretty.

Never, ever let a couple move in. They will take over every time. They will gang up on the single person, and it will turn into a nightmare. I've been burned by couples too many times.

Yep. My older sister, her boyfriend and two kids moved into my rented house with me and my baby. They completely took over, and her boyfriend got handsy with me more than once. My sister threatened me with violence over it until she realised that I was bigger than she was now 😂 I ended up surrendering the tenancy to them and moving away.

3 strike rule applies. I have rules, you bend/break them, you're on yellow card. Do it again, you're out.
