Maybe _she_ doesn’t want the OP around the house all that much but can’t muster up the courage to tell him that, so she attributed the words to her brother. The sad useless fuckwads (plural) in this situation seem to be: the OP for being a mooch, the OP’s girlfriend for being a pushover, perhaps the OP’s girlfriend’s brother for saying what he’s been reported as saying if he did, in fact, say such a thing and is, in fact, a lazy and useless person who’s _also_ not contributing to the household, and the OP’s girlfriend’s mother for putting up with all this bullshit. Heck, if any daughter I happen to have in the future decides that the OP’s self-reported dating situation is the way to go about it, then she and her boyfriend will quickly find out that I won’t have to worry about either of them consuming my food nor running up my bills. I shall introduce them to the concept of _The Fucking Real World Enjoy It You’re On Your Fucking Own There’s the Door_ toot quick. ---

Ever heard of hard drugs? A friend of mine’s sister was introduced to heroin by her boyfriend. She’s been in and out of rehab for years. A very smart girl, finished college, but…got led down the wrong path. I still don’t think she’s kicked the habit, and it’s been years. I don’t even know if she’s completely done with the boyfriend. So there’s that. ---

Oh, for God’s sake - I’m not a parent, but even _I_ know that children can’t be out of a parent’s sight for even a microsecond! What if someone breaks in and steals them from the bathroom?!? Besides, if they’re on a leash, someone could cut the leash and steal them! ---

My parent would have flipped their shit if I had a boyfriend stay over two, three days a week four times a month every month at 17. I’m semi-positive the screaming would have been heard in New Zealand all the way from Boringville in Northern Indiana. I am older now and I still wouldn’t bring the man round every weekend. I’d go to him for find another place to hang out. Stephen’s great but I would get us out of the house and out of everyone’s hair. I don’t really want my mother knowing when i have sex. ---

I’m cracking up here so much that my kid escaped her leash and robbed several banks. Which is cool, but where’s my cut?? This is what they mean when they say it’s a thankless job. ---
