How can I ask my parents to let my friend move in?
My friend's mother is moving out of state and he will be staying here to rent an apartment to finish high school in his hometown and then go to a local college. However, since he IS a minor, he can't be on his own until he is 18 this November and will also need to save up some money for it. He has a part-time job with excellent pay so he'll be able to put some money toward groceries and utilities, and he's getting a car at the end of this month. The only thing is that I'm not exactly sure how to bring this subject up to my parents. I feel it would be inappropriate to just say, "Hey, Mom, Hey Dad, do you care if [insert name here] moves in for like 6 months?" I just need a way to bring it up to my parents in the right way. They're pretty understanding and everything, it's just that Mom doesn't know him very well, though my dad does.
Any suggestions? I'd greatly appreciate it! ;)
His mom is fine with him staying with me. He already mentioned it to her. She just wants what's best for him.

I would talk to the kid's mother first. Is she going to be okay with him staying behind while she moves away? If so, then you, the friend, and the friend's mother need to sit down and have a heart-to-heart and explain the situation to your parents and explain that your friend will be contributing financially if allowed to temporarily move in.

I would bring it up to your dad first, and he can discuss with your mom, since your dad knows him better.
