Need some advice

So me and my husband wanted to help one of my friends out. She was graduating collage, therefore losing student housing. So we decided to let her stay with us temporarily. She knew going into it that we are having a baby, and the baby is due in December. Since living here since August, she has had a job for 2 days and that's it. The whole idea was that we would not charge her rent so she could save up enough money to move out sooner. At this point we feel like we are just being taken advantage of for a free place to stay. And with the baby soon arriving, its stressing me out that she is further away from moving out then she was when she moved in. I don't know how to bring up the subject that she needs to move out. (The room shes staying in had already started becoming the nursery when she moved in)

I ran into this twice this past summer. I let my brother move in for what was supposed to be one month and ended up being four. My other brother was supposed to be visiting for a week and ended up moving in for almost two months. Never again! I’ve learned my lesson.You’ll just have to come up with a deadline. Say something like, “We’ve loves having you here, but our baby is coming soon. So our baby is due by this date. We’ll need to have the nursery ready by this date in case he/she comes early (maybe early November) so that is going to be your deadline to find your own place.” Talk to her now though so she’s aware of it and has time to plan.

Tell her, the baby is due December whatever, and I need a month to finish the nursery, so I hope you’ll be able to go by then. Simple.

Just sit her down and be firm and straight forward with it. Set a date she needs to be out by and tell her it’s so that you can prepare for your baby. Not your fault or problem she chose not to take this opportunity to save her money for her own place.

Honestly... I would just tell her that she needs to go. You can even get a court order eviction as well. I have a couple friends that’s currently staying with us. Long story short. Similar situation as you. They only was supposed to stay with us for 1 month. But it’s been 3 months now. And they talked about staying til after Christmas. I didn’t want to wait til after Christmas, because then maybe they’ll stay a little more longer. I recently found out I’mpregnant. I flat out told them that we have a baby on the way. They have til December to get out. We need our house back.

Is it possible to work out a timeline based on your due date? Was that something y'all discussed before she moved in?
