Still, to make the conversation go as smoothly as possible, be unequivocal when you turn her down, and don’t explain your reasons. Rest assured, Sara realizes that, in wanting you to take her in, she’s looking for a huge favor, and she won’t be stunned when you say “no.” Forget about telling Sara what she should do, and stick to telling her what you can’t do, which is invite her to live with you. But how do you tell someone she needs to go to a homeless shelter when, as far as she’s concerned, your house has more than enough room for one more?Ī: You don’t.

(Noah’s 25 now and no longer lives at home.) But recently he’s used the card to run up over $1,000 in debt, and he gives no indication that he intends to repay it. The account includes a credit card, which he used responsibly for a long time. ![]() Here’s the story: When “Noah” was a teenager, I opened an account for him at my credit union, an account on which I am a joint signatory.
