OK. So you have two sons who make the Tarleton twins look well behaved but OUR advice is "terrible"?

Got it.

This has been an extreme waste of my time and my wife's time. We will consult other outlets for our issues.

I am the sister of an adult child who was still living at home. She wasn't as disrespectful as your sons, but my parents knew that she had taken advantage long enough. They told her she had 30 days and then the locks were being changed. She called them on what she thought was a bluff. She came home one night and couldn't get into their house. She stayed with friends for a couple of weeks until she could find a place. Things were very tough for a while and she swore she hated them for what they did. Fast forward a few years and she is now thanking them for what they did. She now respects them too. She told us that she had no respect for them and would have stayed forever, but since they got tough with her, she went back to school and got a good job. She is doing great now and actually says it all leads back to that day.

My original post in this thread was posted because I have been involved in a somewhat similar situation and have seen how tough love can really help in the long run.

It doesn't take an expert like Dr. Phil to know that if grown sons have so little disregard and absolutely no respect for their parents, that asking the police to escort them out will be the only real option at this point.

This is indeed a sad state of affairs and were I a parent of such ingrates and *******s I would not be afraid to involve outside help.

You know nothing about my family. You do not "get it."

BINGO - tough love is the answer, and these grown "kids" are in sore need of it, for their own sakes, as well as for the parents sakes.

How dare you refer to my children as ingrates and *******s. We have inolved outside help. We prefer to handle this as a family unit.

I call a spade a spade - your sons ARE ingrates and ARE acting like *******s - for you to be so blind to that is a large part of your problem.

I am very glad you and your wife are in therapy, I hope it's more than just once a week as you need intensive and extensive help at this point.

This is not a joke. Our kids are ruining our lives.

Then why did you let them come back? you are allowing them to ruin your lives.

Nothing I suggested was a game. I suggested giving them 30 days, which is more generous than most other suggestions here, then changing the locks. How is that a game?

They are "ruining your lives" and you are worried about being rude to them!!?? they don't lift a finger around the house, they bring home random women, and you are worried about being rude to them? You've asked them to leave. They won't. What kind of advice did you expect to get?

Like I said it is VERY unlikely to happen in my house.

But you are the ones who are telling us the things that they are doing WHICH PORTRAYS them this way? The title of the thread in which you posted it explains it all. You have not said a single good thing about them and we do get it, we do!


Maybe you do need Dr Phil to tell you exactly what we all have been saying along. I highly doubt he is going to pat your hand and say OOH keep doing what you are doing because it will work someday. It isn't working and being nice has not worked in your favor for a very long time.

Youre a push over call the cops and have them voluntarily removed.
