When do kids grow up? I understand the whole "delayed adolescent syndrome" but what about just plain "consideration" of others. The selfishness is beyond what I can bear. For the first time in 20 years I've decided that when the step kids come (next Thursday to Sunday) that I'm going to pack up and leave town. I've decided I'm not waiting on them for meal prep and clean up no am I going to have their bedding and towels all laid out like I have always done.
