To want step son to get his own place

Chewbecca · 2011-09-30 09:36:03

Step son is 23yo. He returned from travelling in February and moved in with us as he had no money. He now has a perm full time job, not great money but secure. I now want him to get his own place, rent with friends or something. Husband is reluctant to insist and step son is not bothered as he wants to spend his cash on other stuff such as clothes, going out, getting a car. He is driving me up the wall with silly things, for e.g. I have asked him not to use the tumble dryer when the weather is nice but this morning I see him using it again. He NEVER unloads the dishwasher, always leaves his stuff on top. He pays £100 rent pm but only when asked multiple times. He leaves the toilets pretty dirty. He gets in late at night (3am e.g.), not intentionally noisily but it's not a huge house so I do hear him. I just think he is a grown up, shouldn't be living by wicked step mother's house rules, it's time for him to get his own place and live as he pleases. (and give me my house back) AIBU? If not, how to get it to happen, without upsetting DH too much? If yes, I will try harder to bite my tongue and wait patiently for him to decide the time is right.
