28-year-old refuses to let newlywed sister and her husband stay at her apartment for 3 weeks and rearrange her furniture: ‘She wants me to adjust my lifestyle for them as a couple’
It’s important to be careful with the people you let stay in your house rent-free. If my parents needed to stay with me when they got too old to live alone, I’d accept them with open arms.

I cannot imagine how difficult it would be to work the night shift. When I first applied to jobs out of college, I thought it would be cool to work from 3 PM to 11 PM, go to the bar after work, and have a beautiful morning to myself every weekday. Now, I realize how …
