I am SM to 2 SC.  I have my children 24/7 and we have husbands generally every weekend during school year and then summers during work week. But now w Covid 19 they come when they have there laundry clean. And leave when it needs done. We don't do kids laundry as we feel all the kids are old enough to do their own laundry. What I need to vent about is SS is 18 ADHD. Eats all the time. Sleeps most of day and is awake mist nights which means he is downstairs making meals. Not snacks! Meals!  I have to label food for him not to touch but even then dies not stop him. I exploded tonight toward him as the beer was gone. He drank 4 beers last night w/out asking or giving us a text do that we would see it in the morning. Then sleeps all day. My husband was upset w me cuz he said he had already spoken to him about this. Their school has not started handing out school work to be graded. So they come here stay up late. Eat and don't do anything.

I wonder why you are still doing visitation for an 18 yr old?  I don't know what age your other SKID is but ours had stopped by age 18.   Your DH needs to step up and tackle the things you are unhappy about.  His speaking to the SS obviously didn't do any good, he needs to keep on his case until he complies - not get annoyed with you for having a word.    You can buy refrigerator locks on Amazon - I would certainly get one.

I'd go a step further and put a lock on the kitchen door - there is absolutely no reason for anyone to spend their nights cooking. I doubt that he is quiet about it either.
