Stepson (18) is due home for the holidays in a week. Before going off to uni he stayed with us 3 nights a week and we did everything for him - he literally didn't lift a finger. Now that he's been independent for a few months I feel like I'm going to expect more from him but I think he'll just sink back to his old ways and will expect me and his dad to do everything.
Also we moved youngest into his room so he will have to sleep in the box room when he's back. He's a big lad and I feel like he's not going to be happy about this (even though we did tell him that's what was happening).
Just feeling a bit nervous about the whole thing as I have to admit that there's been a lot less to do while he's been away and I'd like to be able to have a bit of a rest over Christmas.
