Now that our children are older, DH has decided that we need to explain that college does not last forever. Oldest SD is 26 and we are still storing her bed and many other things in the shed. 20 year old SD is still at home part time and most of the time with her boyfriend, but still has her room. 19 year old BS part time at home and most of the time with friends, but still has his room. For some reason BS stuff if getting on DH nerves, but both of the SD stuff is not in the way. And he wonders why BS doesn't spend more time at home. Nothing positive is said to him when he comes by, but the girls are praised beyond praise. Not sure how to tell him that he has run my child off from his home. The only place he has called home since he was 8. BS loves DH very much and does not want to make waves. Suggestions to bring this up without cause World War Three?

I would love to offer you some advise but, I am in the same boat.
We have my two Bio boys 17,14 living with us and FH loves to tell them what they do wrong. Then he complains how my BS17 is never home..(hmmmm i wonder why).
But when his awful 23 daughter calls or comes in town you hear how great she is. Even though she is nothing but a brat with her hand out waiting for more money from us. Or him as she says.. to quote her "if you were here or not my dad would give to me what I want so, I do not have to thank you for anything"

I think Dads see boys differently than they see girls. He expects the boy to grow up, be responsible, get a job, a house, etc. Girls he sees as something that should be protected and provided for. Try to point it out to him, then maybe you can finally get all kids out and on their own Smile

Personally I wouldn't care and I would not stand for it. Fair is fair. I would tell him that if he wants BS stuff out then so are SD's too! All at the same time! This is the way i work period. I know I'm harsh sometimes but fair is still fair!
