My daughter is anxious anyway. Her boyfriend’s visits have to be prefect in every way, she creates alot of stress for herself and me beforehand…very high cleaning standards and meal expectations. This was fine to begin with …wanted to create a good impression. But 2 years on and he sleeps till 11am only comes done when food is ready my daughter cooks and waits on him … as I no longer serve a cooked breakfast. Does not help clear away on clean pans. Rests and sleeps most of the day, went for family walk but then Again for dinner always ready at the table a family sit down meal was prepared by me but no help cleaning. He has mentioned that his mum does everything at home. But I think he’s just lazy and my daughter could do better, we all work.

Give him a job to do, ask him to clear plates, empty them, wash them….
Your DD is enabling it but so are you. He tells you his mum does everything at home, perfect chance to tell him that’s not how your house works and everyone chips in.

A friend stayed with me and her then husband was very lazy. My mum was also staying. She told him straight he needed to help.
