I have 2 children
living at home, I am a LP. The eldest is 24, she's studying and works too,so always very busy. My DS will be 17 in January, he is at college 3 days a week, and has just got a little part time job. I work 46 hours a week.
My DD will help where/when she can, my DS on the other NEVER helps. He will go hungry rather than make something to eat, his room is a tip (as is my DDs) and with the pair of them they leave a trail of devastion in their wake, they are quite happy to live in dirty squalor.
I have spoken to them both about this, my DD takes it on board, my DS glazes over. I don't see why after a 46 hour week I should be clearing up after the pair of them. It makes me very resentful, and what with Christmas coming up and buying gifts for DS, I am reluctant to do so, as I don't think he deserves anything!
I really am at the end of my tether with this bone idle laziness, and living a life of grime.
Thank you...
