How to stop running a boarding house for adult children?

[lilacwineplease]

Both dc are living back at home – they are are both in their 20s, one has finished university and is working locally, the other home from uni for the summer and has some part time work lined up.
I'm getting fed up of feeling like we are running a hotel.
Dd1 has her boyfriend down to stay this weekend. They were out all day yesterday, ate with us in the evening (dd2 made the meal, then they all polished off the remains of the chicken I was keeping for a risotto later in the week). I told dd1 and her bf they would need to clear up after dinner – which they did.
This morning, they got up late, beautifully dressed, but refused a polite request to do a few things around the house because they've arranged to go out for the rest of today. They have now disappeared, without doing the things I'd asked.
Me and DH, on the other hand, had been on the go since quite early, putting away A shopping delivery and sorting laundry. He also did a bit of work on elder dc's car before he went into work himself.
Dd2 is more useful since she's been at uni, so less of an issue there - although she has skipped off too without lifting a finger this morning. The dog needs a walk, the dishwasher is full and there is a pile more laundry to do. Dh and I work ft and I have work to tackle from my job today.
Dh and I need to sit down and set some boundaries! Dd1 told me to 'fuck off' this morning when I used the immortal phrase about treating our home like an hotel. They're not doing nothing, but mainly need to be told, and dd1 especially isn't pulling her weight.
Any practical suggestions would be very welcome, thanks.

My daughters live at home and they are expected to do whatever jobs I give them. One daughter who does not work does all the washing for us all, cleans downstairs every week, washes up after meals, cleans the chickens out once a week and puts the tesco shop away after its delivered. The other who does work cleans upstairs once a week.

They also both pay me a percentage of their income as rent.

For all this they get a lovely room and any support they need in daily life (they have a few sn). I work full time and don't see why I should do it all when there is two more adults in the house.

23!!! Unacceptable behaviour all round. You've been a bit (very) soft OP, and I think she has to find her own place to live, where she can trying telling flat-mates to 'fuck off' when they ask her to pull her weight, and see how far THAT gets her. You and your husband need to give her a serious bollocking for talking to you like that.

DS 23 lives at home still DD 24 some of time - some at her boyfriends
They both pay rent - we all share chores
DS is responsible for dusting, cleaning bathrooms and recycling
DD vacuums and cleans kitchen
I do gardening and majority of washing
Cooking n washing up shared
We all clean our own rooms, change own beds etc, and do our own ironing
Occasionally I ask for extra help and will deduct from rent if appropriate eg DD is short of money at moment (between temp jobs) so painted all the fences in lieu of board

Eat out
Buy food for two, when you pop to the shop each eve ( know a couple that did this for a while to get the message across) no food in the house for other adults unless they purchase said food.
Do your washing up in the sink or just leave dishes wherever

Do all the laundry but only sort and iron your clothing, I had a DD put two items of washing in at a time as and when she needed clothing!!

I really don't think you should resort to petty evasive techniques in your own home, e.g. eating out and living with empty fridges

You and DH need to tell her that her behaviour is despicable and will not be tolerated and that she has one month to move out. And mean it. Do not let her tantrum or sweet talk her way out of this. You need to get tough or she will continue to take the piss in increasingly escalating ways.

Thanks. The default position is that she is moving out within a month.

I still haven't had an apology- and unless that comes soon and from the heart, she's out on her own - more expensive for her but ultimately might be better for everyone in the long run.

And if she does stay, then we will agree what needs to be done, underpinned by the notion of 'our house, our rules.' Bf does not stay again unless she proves that will happen.

Dd2, bless her, has done all she can to smooth it over - has told her dsis to apologise. I'm sure it will all work out ok one way or another once dd1 loses, or wakes up to, her enormous sense of entitlement.

Thanks for everyone's collective wisdom too - it's very good to have assurances that we were being taken for a ride.

if my adult DD told me to fuck off the only thing she would be doing that day would be looking for somewhere to live whilst she carried her all her belongings in the bag on her back. fuck off my arse - her feet wouldn't have touched the ground on her way out.

other DD would be told if she didn't buck her ideas up she would be in the same position.

i have 3 sons two still at home all 3 are lazy lumps yes i blame myself for pampering to them .but if they ever swore at me they certainly would see a new side of mummy .
