I'm not against friendship at all, but my brother brings his friend to our house every day.
At 8 in the morning, when we're all busy getting ready for our day, his friend, (who we'll call Bob) knocks on the door. We tell him to go. An hour later, Bob comes back again. Mom tells my brother, (who we'll call Charley) to play with Bob outside. I get out of the bathroom, and Charley wants to know if Bob can come in. I say no, because mom isn't ready. But Charley says, "Mom is in the bathroom, so she can't see Bob." Then he let's his friend in the house anyway. And yesterday, he told Bob, "You can come to our house anytime, anyday." Because of this promise that my brother made, I was late to my bowling club meeting. As I said, I'm not against friendship, but I don't know how to let my brother know that he isn't the only person in the house, and we don't want all his friends coming over at all hours of the day. How can I tell Charley in a nice way that we don't want his friends over 24/7?

Your home is all of yours castle, with privacy included. Set up times for both to listen to and put them up on the wall by the door. I have same problem. Tell him that when he is alone you will send a cop over to check up on him that he is safe and ALONE!!!

Tell your mom and that way she can set up boundaries with your brother My brother used to do the same with his friends and they would eat all of our food as my mom talked to my brother they only came by 2 times a month and not 24/7 so tell ur Mom to talk to your brother about the home rules

ok well you need to get a friend to be like that and then he probly will realize how everyone else feels about his friend "bob" hanging around all the time.
