Every time he walks in the door I can feel the tenseness in my shoulders.Everytime he walks out the door I feel relieved.Never in a million years did I think I would be uncomfortable in my own home!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm engaged to his father so he is not technically my stepson.He's lived here for 2 years and I don't see him leaving anytime soon,why would he?He lives here for free!

23,he was 21 when he moved in,What really irritates me is that it never crossed my mind that he would move in with us in the first place.We live in another town and the rest of his family and friends are 20 minutes away.I'm mad at myself because I never saw it coming and I'm smarter than that. :?

Tell him he has to get a job, pay rent and make some common sense rules or tell him to get a job and give him a launch date. There is no reason an adult should be living at home with mom and dad coming and going as they please disrupting the family. What does your spouse/significant other think?

He has a part time job and goes to school part time.To me since school is out for the summer he should be working full time and paying rent.His dad has talked to him about paying rent,but the son says he has no money.So he doesn't bring it up again until I mention it and this has went on for 2 years.It's not really the money that I am worried about although I believe he should pay rent,it's that I have 3 teenagers and you can bet your booty that THEY will be expected to pay rent when they turn 18.How can I teach them one thing when this guy doesn't have to live by the same rules.I've actually thought about telling the fiance if his son doesn't pay rent then mine won't either but in the long run it wouldn't teach my kids any values.

he has no money because he spends his part time wages on his wants because you provide his needs. Stop doing his laundry if you do now, if he isn't working full time in the summer you should have the best lawn on the block. Have him mow, pull weeds, paint outside do whatever to earn his keep if his dad says he doesn't have money. Thats fine if he doesn't pay you in dollars but he needs to pull his weight. If he learns there is no free ride he may decide to move on.

Here is the whole story if you have time,it's way deeper than the rent.......................I don't like this guy and I worry that I will never like him,which upsets me horribly,but if you have time to read it,please tell me if you could love him?

Well first off,I'm 37 and my fiance is 48.We've been together 4 years and engaged for 2 of those.I have 3 kids,2 girls 14 and 15 and one son 17.Fiance has 3 kids also,2 sons 21 and 23 and a daughter 25.My fiance and I moved in together and 2 weeks later his grown sons moved in with us.Each of my children had their own room,and for my son this was a first,since I was a single mom and could only afford 3 bedrooms.He was excited to say the least.So the 2 grown stepsons move into his room.(They were living with their grandma until she asked them both to pay $200.00 a month rent)That's why they moved in with us.They didn't want to pay rent,I know this because the 21 year old told me that.Fiance never asked them to pay rent with us.It wasn't long before the stepsons started bossing my kids around,telling them what they should eat,what they should clean.I told fiance,he told them to stop.After a year the 21 year old moved back into his own mothers house and pays $200.00 a month rent.Now the 23 year old still lives here.He's been arrested 3 times,each time daddy bailed him out,payed his attorneys fee's and whatever other bills he had.When he came here we told him no drugs in the house,after a month of living here I found drugs in his room,caught him smoking dope on the back porch.Another rule we have is no friends in the house when we aren't home.We had to go out of town for our job...My 14 was here late one night so I told her,go in my room and lock the door until my son gets home.The 23 year old comes into OUR bedroom with his GF and tells my daughter to go to her own room so he and his GF CAN HAVE OUR BED!He had no job or car when he moved in so his dad let him use his new truck.Wich put us in a bind because we only had my car to use to get back and forth to work.He never payed the insurance or for the flat tire that he got while driving it.He used his dads truck to deal drugs with.He bums money off his dad like he's 12!Now he has a job and a car,but he can't afford the $200.00 month rent,yet he can buy drugs and beer and whatever else he wants.He busts into our room like he owns it,never knocks.I caught him going through our dresser looking for money and when I confronted him for it he asked my if I had the money to give him for a 40!He posts crap on facebook about my kids,for everyone to read.I was single for 7 years with my kids and I struggled but I made it happen,managed to pay the bills barely but they were paid.I waited 7 years to find a man that I thought would be good for my kids,not knowing that his grown son would make me lose so much respect for him.I thought typing this would make me feel better but now I'm SMOKING MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The fact that he's in to drugs would change everything. He'd be out immediately. Your kids don't need to be around that neither do you. He' had no right to tell your kids anything. I'd sit down with hubby and get him out of the house at 23 he should be able to make it on his own. A lot of people go to school part time and work full time. Next time he takes anything file charges
