DH, myself and my DD10 went out of state this past weekend, left Thursday after DH was off work, came back Sunday. SS19 did not go since he had to work Thursday morning.

Since getting home, all kinds of little weird things are coming up and I'm really starting to wonder what went on in my house while we were gone.

Sunday morning SS texted DH saying one of the cats knocked a glass of water off the counter, and broke the glass. Uhm, why couldn't that wait til we got home?

When we get home, the dogs are all locked up in their kennels, SS is in his room, door closed. When he heard us home, he came out of his room. I asked why the dogs were locked up if he's home/awake, he says they were eating. He knows they don't eat when they're locked up, they wait til we get home and let them out, and then they will eat.

I went in the laundry room to start some of our dirty laundry from the trip, DD's bath towel was in the dryer, still half wet. I ask why it's in there, SS says he used it to mop up the water mess in the kitchen. I question him why he would use her towel to mop up the dirty floor. He changes his story and says he didn't use it on the floor, he doesn't know why it's in the dryer.

I go in the garage to get some ice from the freezer, the rug by the back door is missing. I go to ask where it is, notice it's in the kitchen by the dishwasher. SS says "oh, I always get the rugs mixed up and put them in the wrong place". RIIIIIIIGHT.

Later that night, DD goes in the bathroom that she and SS share. One of her bottles of bath wash has barely anything left in it, and the lid is off, on the side of the tub. Again, SS has no idea why it's like that, he didn't use it. Of course not.

This morning I notice the bathroom sink and counter is cleaned and DD's hair stuff is all rearranged. SS says "it was so dirty and spotty it was driving him crazy". This coming from a slob that leaves dirty clothes on the floor, showers once every 7 or 8 days, etc. Not likely.

When he finally decides to crawl out of bed at 1:30 in the afternoon, he tells me he thinks one of his friends that was over must have grabbed DD's towel when SS asked friend to grab his (SS's) towel. I'm really not fond of having people in my house that I've never met, no matter how old SS is. Especially after meeting the friends I have met, they're strange to say the least.

DH of course thinks I'm upset/worried for no reason but seriously, this kid is so disrespectful and doesn't care about other people's things. And can't tell the truth to save his life. I HATE the answer "I don't know", especially from a 19stb20 year old! It was 2 days and he has no idea what happened???

Guess I came from a parent who taught me respect and responsibility, I knew if my mom wasn't home, I didn't have anyone over. And if I did want to have someone over, I ASKED first. Maybe I'm expecting too much from SS, knowing already how lazy and ill-mannered he is!
