Oh my god. I hear you. My SD sleeps in two rooms also. She has her bedroom upstairs that we redecorated last year but it's so full of stuff on her bed, floor etc that she prefers the guest room. Well sometimes she sleeps in one of the gamerooms or on the couch in the family room. Today my stepson asked if SD is ever going back to her apartment and I said "I hope so" he said "me too". The maid still does her laundry, cleans up the kids dishes, their bathrooms etc. I can't convince my husband to make the maid stop. She's been around longer than I have. Not only that, the kids both got new cars last year for Christmas. They are the filthiest pig stys I've ever seen in my life. No appreciation. On the other hand, I have 3 kids, all in school, working,with their own places. I have to bribe them with food to get them to come over because they're so busy, which by the way is the way it should be, hello!!!

I am so grateful that I found this site, I think I'm wearing out the ears of my mom and sister. The problem is, I've felt sorry for them because their family is so disfunctional. Their parents are both dentists and they've been so spoiled their whole lives. The ex-wife is an alcoholic that went to jail after her 3rd Drunk driving charge so my husband lets the kids get away with anything because he feels so guilty. The problem is that I am only human and I can only take so much. It's gotten so that I can barely be in the same room with SD because she is both superior, juvenile, foolish, ridiculous and inappropriate. How 2 professionals can raise children who have no table manners or appropriate social skills is beyond me. Maybe they thought the nanny would teach them those things. Anyway it helps that I'm not the only one with these problems.
