UGH!!!!
My husbands 20 year old son is here in town AGAIN...and I'm am so sick of the drama when it comes to him! He has no job...and he doesn't do anything...and my husband is always running to his rescue!! I am so tired of him not standing up to him and telling him he is not his personal taxi service..blah, blah!! I'm just so irritated about it! Any suggestions on how to handle this?? And I DON'T want him spending the night here whatsoever!!!

I've had struggles with stepsons and I'm so sorry. :( I don't have any magical words. I've said to Mark many times that he has to act like a dad and teach "tough love". Mark has finally started seeing how much the boys need it and that we need to teach him because he's not getting it from his mom. Until then, Mark gave the boys everything.
ReplyDeleteMy biggest thing to tell you is to stick to your guns. So many times we would borrow money and the boys' mom would get upset when we would try to get the money back. I stuck to my guns and never gave in and I know it's helped. They know they can't walk over me and it's helped open up Mark's eyes.
It's tough, though. I hate seeing Mark having to choose between me and the boys and I know it bugs him. But, they'll all thank you some day.
If you need to talk, feel free to e-mail anytime!!
The first thing I thought was to tell you to ask Tammy. I see she got to you about it. Im sorry..
