I (33M) allowed my sister (34) moved in with me Sept 2023 since she wanted to start over and move to Florida. I did tell her she can stay with my until she gets on her feet. She has two 13 Y/O boy and girl. I paid for their flights, told my sister don’t worry about any bills/rent just save your money to help you get a place. We all (4 of us) live in a 1 Bedroom 1 bath APT She finally stated to work in November 2023, after me sending her some jobs to apply to, and asking each day. Now I like a clean place I’m single no kids etc. make good money.

I find myself cleaning each day after my niece and nephew both 13 Y/O…. Neither helps with anything at the apt. sometime my sister will help clean, but mostly it’s me. I have to remind them to replace the trash when it gets full, wipe down the kitchen when your done cooking. Most recently someone cooked something in the microwave and food exploded and the entire microwave was still full-on food. and my sister allows them to stay up until they go to fall asleep even on school nights. My nephew will stay up until 4 or 5AM on school days. He been suspended five times since November and the school district called my sister this past week telling her my niece has been skipping the last two periods of the day.

Now I work from home normally in bed by 9PM up by 5AM, my sister and kids don’t go to bed until 5/6 AM and sleep until 3 or 4 PM on weekend. I find myself with blinds closed and mostly in a quite apt all day. Now my sister has been able to save around 2K for an APT, and I offered to give her an additional 1K for an apartment. Now the kicker is she hasn’t been applying I’ve reminded her checking in each day, sending her links finding apartments for her etc.…. she’s telling me she applied but I’m not sure if she did. I’m encouraging her to find a place ASAP, as I want them into their own place and out my apartment. Yes I did invite them down really without a time limit but I would like to be able to enjoy my place soon. I’m on the verge of giving my sister 30 days, but haven’t as it’s my sister.

AMTA for telling my sister she can stay with me until she is on her feet, now wanting her out after only five months?

Yes YATA You should have been clear what your boundaries are in the first place and not expecting them to read your mind.
