I need to catch up on most of today's posts, but I thought one of your complaints was your wife letting your son live rule-free as a teen. How does that correspond with grounding an adult for being up late and putting his feet on the table??
Not according to what you've written so far. She hasn't changed a whit from her teenage mentality. Of course, you haven't either. I think you are both addicted to drama.
OP - do you talk to your wife like you're talking to us here in half-sentences and with no explanation or context? If so, it's no wonder there's been a communications breakdown. If your wife is half as frustrated listening to you as I am reading your posts I don't blame her for locking herself in her room.
Your first post on CD said that your wife grounded him just until the next day for drinking and lying about it a few years ago. Now she is trying to ground him for a week for putting his feet on the table and staying up past his bedtime?
I don't get it. Can it be now that he is legally an adult she wants the same control over him that she has on you?
Not to mention, the son did just come back from a Chicago trip-- that she was never "invited" to.
