Adult step child still at home
I have an adult stepchild that still lives with us. He has had several money issues and my husband continues to support him financially even though he works full time and isn't in school. I am so frustrated and we argue about this issue often. My husband works two full time jobs plus overtime at one of the full time jobs. I am at a loss. My husband says he is trying to help him out so that he can save money to go to school, but this child just blows money on drinking and things he doesn't need. I am the only one out there who has this problem?

Hell no. Your husband is
Hell no. Your husband is breaking his back working all those hours and is supporting his adult son? One thing to help, another to be taken advantage of. If your SS is working full time, he can get a place of his own.
This is not a child. This is a MAN taking advantage of you and your DH.
The thing is, your DH is allowing it. Until he stops it, nothing will change.
My DH has 3 young adult kids-19, 20, 23. They are terrible to DH and to me. Only one works (pt) and the other 2 have never worked, and refuse to. 2 of them want to move in here. NEVER happening. DH and I discussed this before we got engaged, and I will never bend. It would be the end of the marriage. Not to mention, we have a small home. It would be my nightmare.
A LOT of people here have adult skids living at home. They feel as if they are entitled to live at home, that is "owed to them."
I hope your husband wakes up, or you are never going to get your SS out.
