Adult children still at home

[Butterfly1728]

Is it unreasonable to expect adult stepchildren to be “standing on their own 2 feet” when they earn good money and are almost 30?
Living at home, no sign of wanting to move, don’t do any chores, etc.

Feel resentful at times.

@Skybluepinky

well, they’re be right sad acts if they did

I don’t pay half of the mortgage as it’s not my house and I’m not on the mortgage. I pay more than both of them combined.

Wow, where do I get someone to move in and start paying the lion's share of the bills without any risk of the home being considered a shared asset and make food and do the chores around the house?

I am 31 single parent my daughter is 8. Currently living at my mums! This country is too hard to possibly just move out! Going private is so expensive! Not possible to get a council house either, been told many times after trying to seek help from the council! Luckily my mum has a 4 bed so we have our own rooms, and I do clean, pay rent, and buy my own food and cook for myself and my daughter.

But I can understand why their still at home unfortunately! It's not easy, like everyone thinks.

More than the kids, not the husband.

It’s less about how much they pay, it’s not doing laundry/cleaning/other household chores that would frustrate me. Adult children having older adults running around after them is ridiculous, your Dad and SM aren’t your unpaid servants.

@Butterfly1728 Your DP has allowed this and quite frankly, he’s daft. I’m glad that you’re moving in two years, at least that’ll be an end to this.

But they earn good money and can afford big holidays, nice clothes and whatever else, but can’t afford to move out?

Agreed

@Butterfly1728 I’m guessing from your updates that nothing has changed since the summer?
