I have to get this off my chest because I'm going to explode ...

It's officially summer holidays for college & university students in Canada (which is BULLSHIT because it's only SPRING).
That means my eldest stepson 21 is staying here again for the summer while he works for his father. FOUR MONTHS! :jawdrop:

OMG ... kill me now.
If I wanted children living here full time don't you think I might have had my own bio-kids? :?

So ... beautiful summer is looming on the horizon and all I want to do is fast forward to August or September because that glorious summer is all but ruined by a mopey 20-something hanging around here like its a rest home. I want to buy a trailer or cottage because I feel like I have to escape my own home. Damn hell.

:sick:

I don't mean to be rude, but why is he living there? Why can't he get a travel trailer or rent an apartment, or stay with a friend? What 21 year old wants to live at home with their parents? I can't even imagine that.

Unfortunately, it seems that a lot of over 21's still want to live at home.

Apparently, a lot of parents have trouble cutting the apron strings and make it way too easy for the kids, i.e. no rent, cooked meals - you get the idea.

He is living here so Daddy can drive him to work. The kid doesn't have his license. Also because his Mom lives 1.5 hours away and all his friends are down there.

My husband has a bit of that divorced parents guilt thing going on too - you know, that he has something to make up to the kids because he wasn't there everyday.

It's irritating because both my husband and I were almost entirely independent when we were his age.

I was graduated from college, living on my own, and had a job at that age. What is the world coming to?

The first hot day of the year and SS21 is already bitching about how hot it is in the house. (DH and I spent the entire day on our feet working in and around the house.) SS21 spent the day sitting on his ass in front of the f***ing computer, then had a nice long nap - and he bitches about being uncomfortable!! ARGH!!!!! He came down to dinner that evening yawning extra loud because princess just woke up, I grabbed my dinner and walked away because I wanted to strangle him.
He hasn't even been here a month. Sad part is ... DH and I should be working on the remains of our relationship but with the skid here, it feels to me like the ship is only going down. It has gotten to the point where I want my husband to sell his company so the skid can't work there, so he has to actually APPLY for his first job at 21, get his bloody drivers licence, and most importantly get the hell out of my house.
