not much of a roommate rant more like a question of how to approach something with a family member! i’ll start off by stating that i’m living with my brother at my grandmas house over the summer. the rest will be in the comments due to word count.

my brother and his friends like to drink pretty often which means his friends often stay over. tonight i woke up to his friends in the basement, which is where im staying and they were talking loud af while i was trying to sleep. i hadn’t been told they were staying at all. i should also state im a girl and like to sleep in shorts and tank tops a lot of the time. my brother has a bit of a temper so talking to him in a way i thinks appropriate for the situation might upset him.

when his friends stay the only place there’s really room for them to sleep is in the basement. seeing as i’m staying in the basement i feel as though my brother should have asked before having them stay over. i would like to simply ask him to ask me before allowing them to sleep in the basement so im not waking up surprised there’s a guy sleeping in the basement also so i can dress more appropriately and not feel uncomfortable to get up because of what im wearing.
