We all have one; that one best friend who absolutely refuses to give your family their personal space.
For this friend, your entire home is their oyster. They happily eat the food out of your pantry, put their bare feet up on your coffee table, and throw curse words around your parents like it's MTV. However, how you view this friend varies based on your status in your own best friend's home.
Here are 12 sure-fire signs that you and your best friend's families have merged into one.
1. You don't ask permission to come over, you just walk inside the house.
