Thanks to generous family members, my brother and are about to be given a five bedroom house which we can stay in until we are through with college. Officially everything will be in my name but I feel that instead of trying to be the all powerful overlord, I'll chat with my brother and try to work out all difficulties.

We haven't even moved into the house yet and we're already having some difficulties.

First and foremost are roommates. We are planning on having about three of them, and two of them are going to be our close friends. That leaves one roommate undecided and here comes our disagreement: My brother has a lot of jobless, stoner and stereotypical bum friends that he adores. He is already planning on our place being a constant party spot (something he needs to get out of his head) but he is determined it seems to have one of these friends move in with us.

Now I have met all of his friends, and they are fun but I just don't see myself getting along with any of them in the long run. Also, most of them change jobs on almost a weekly basis, which has me concerned. So far my strongest argument is that his friends don't have jobs, but I just cannot seem to get my dumbass of a brother to see that being out on your own requires more then just a six pack and weed.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to go about this situation, please let me know. When push comes to shove, I can just throw my weight around and tell my brother flat out that his jobless friends won't be staying with us. I don't want to go through with this course of action as it might cause some conflict and troubles which I don't believe we need during our first few months in a new house.

Thank you.
