My partners son is 18. He stays with me and my partner one, maybe 2 nights a week. When he stays, he literally eats us out of house and home. The other night: 12 cans of coke, 2 packets of bacon, a full loaf of bread and most of the potatoes...gone.
However, this is not the only problem. He smells! It sounds so awful but he really does smell, my sofa and the blanket he uses to sleep on stinks. Every time he stays I have to wash this blanket. The sofa smells because of him, I have actually had someone mention it before.
I feel I can't say anything to him as I am only a few years older than my partners son but I would want to mention it to my partner. But how do I say it without offending him?!
On top of all that, we never have anything left in the house as I said before cos he eats/drinks it all. We have a newborn baby and struggle enough as it is without having to replenish the whole kitchens worth of food whenever he stays over.
I understand that he is a teenage boy. They are a force to be reckoned with. But, I think a little respect would go a long way here and it just seems like he doesn't have any. And also the washing thing.
Like I say, I'm barely 5 years older than him and just dont feel like I can say anything. I dont want to offend his son and I dont want to offend my partner but at the end of the day, I pay the bills and buy the food and clean up after him whenever he comes round so surely I should have a bit of a say...?
