StepSON advise please
I've recently married (1 yr) a wonderful man who has two adult children 25,27. The older one is a teacher and lives in another city. However, his younger son has been in and out of trouble (nothing major), drop out of high school, doesn't work because his license was suspended for a year,lost his social security (his excuse), had one but due to his license suspension he doesn't-car is parked--father bought the car), he recently moved in (months ago)...he has no job (so, free everything rent,food,partying money,red bulls,cell phone etc) you get the picture. My husband is a wonderful man..loving and kind to a fault. Good provider and makes very good money..His son knows this. I'm left where I am unable to tell his son anything..He wakes up everyday at 3pm or if I'm lucky to see his face..sometimes as early as 2ish....does nothing all day but smoke cigarette and play guitar (he is extremely good--absolutely outstanding on the guitar but hasn't done anything about his talent). Before you bring it up..I've tried encouraging him (more his father than I) to use this talent to his advantage to no avail. He claims he can't work without a car. His room is super messy like a roach that lives there..I clean it every time he leaves to stay or visit friends for a few days...but always comes back after partying (to mess it up again). He helped me out once...but don't see him helping out again (or in the near future)..I can't stand it anymore..I'm consumed and fueled with anger (my husband knows this) but his son does not..My husband chooses to manage all affairs with his son..so I don't tell his son anything. I say hi! and chat about all other things except the big elephant in the room...I want to tell him that I know your down on your luck but you must HELP out AROUND THE HOUSE..!!make up for the lack of a job!!...make this home your job..SOMETHING..ugh!!! My husband has lost his mind...I told him that I came home with lots of groceries and text his son twice to help take the groceries out of the car..with no answer..when I got home I knocked on his son's door...I told him if he could help..he said "yes, I'll be out there"..He NEVER came out...he fell right back to sleep..I did it all by myself..I was so angry..(as a matter of fact he is still asleep as he wakes up till 3p)..anyways, told my husband in hopes he would comfort me or understand me...his response was....."why did you go shopping in the morning if you needed help from my son...You know he wakes up at 3pm--You should have gone late in the afternoon, I'm sure he would have help you then???!!!!! OH MY GOSH!!! I THINK I AM IN BIG TROUBLE AIN'T I???? My husband has lost his mind!

Your problem is your stupid
Your problem is your stupid a-hole husband who is letting this turd dropping live in your home.
My DH let his son live with him in his early 20s. Thank goodness I was not around as I would not have given DH the time of day if he'd had a louse living with him. DH kicked him out a couple of years before I met him.
SS has been homeless and jobless - at 25. But he had to figure out on his own how to get by.
Your DH needs to drive this worthless slug to a shelter and dump him on the sidewalk - TODAY.
I totally agree, but it
I totally agree, but it sounds like her DH will not allow his son to be homeless. It is sad-this won't end well for the OP, I am afraid.
correct..his son being
correct..his son being homeless absolutely not an option...this son has lived with his mother from birth till the age of 18..apparently the mother has alot to do with his behavior..his son and my husband find it easy to blame all of it on his wife. My husband many times blames himself. I think the problem is his son. ONLY his sons..Sure..I no doubt his exwife was no one to aspire to be but trying to lift his son up is not helping..He is just taking advantage of EVERYTHING. My huband keeps saying he has troubles because of all the things he has seen while being with a awful mother..I think his problem is he is plum lazy. LAZY LAZY LAZY...why would he work when daddy is giving him everything. I see absolutely giving everything to a son or daughter..so long as he behaves to earn 'EVERYTHING'...However, giving while someone EVERYTHING and absolutely getting nothing back...is absolutely ridiculous. LOVE HIM YES, TALK TO HIM YES, GIVE HIM MONEY EVERY OTHER DAY..no no no...getting him a car no no no, paying his rent,light,gas,cell phone for his bad behavior is wrong wrong wrong
DH is telling you that he
DH is telling you that he accepts his son as is. I really don't have advise to offer but SS doesn't sound like a problem for your DH at all.

Hailtocasaer, You are in
Hailtocasaer,
You are in trouble, I am afraid. Your DH pretty much told you "how it is" when he said you should have waited to do the grocery shopping-when his son was up. :jawdrop: My DH has three adult kids-ages 20, 21, and 24. 2 years ago, he finally set boundaries. There is a lot more to the story, but he was basically waiting for them to wake up. They continue to get worse. They choose to live in poverty with BM, who does not work or do much of anything. Her aunt supports them all. 2 of them want to come here, even though they treat DH terribly and we live in a one bedroom home. But we have a happy home. And they will NEVER come here. It was agreed upon between DH and I before we married, as I was lucky to see how bad they were. And we are not supporting them. They are almost exactly like your SS.
Your husband has to be the one to deal with his son, and unfortunately, it seems he is not going to do that. I feel badly for you, because I think something drastic will have to happen before your DH will ever boot his son. I could never deal with this. I don't know how much longer you will be able to.
I agree with you...his son is
I agree with you...his son is constantly on my mind..my husband and I were once very very happy. We still are..just harder to find that happy place because I don't agree with him. He thinks I'm wrong and I think he is wrong. I don't want him to hate or not love his son...he just need to let his son deal with this on his own...all the trouble he got in was pure irresponsibility..he is EXACTLY the same way now after talking to him..Depressed he absolutely is..however, helping him...well, funny as this sounds...HELPING HIM has not HELPED. It's making things worse. He is absolutely nothing like his wonderful RESPONSIBLE supporting loving giving father
I am new to this site and
I am new to this site and thank you all for your responses...i don't know WHAT all these abbreviations..SS,BM,DH or OP mean..
