Kicking a 18 yo child out (toys, appropriate, chores, diapers)

Forgive me if I don' take the suggestions of one woman who doesn't conform to normal school or home-school, sleeps with random strangers once a week, has sex with her husband while the kids are in the same bed and another one who is afraid of everything.

To be clear and fair, I was NOT alluding to rent payments or anything like that. I was talking about the cutting cables, shutting electric off type of things. THAT is overboard IMO.

Wow. Anyone else disturbed by this statement? Knocked out with a telephone? Yikes.

Yeah he slapped me in the mouth. Totally notched up my respect for him by a million degrees let me tell ya.

When I was working my ass off to support his drinking habit and pay his bills that he refused to pay because he was too busy getting his drink on it flew IMO.

I'm currently working on my masters, and trying to get in w/ a state agency(My bachelor's degree was in sociology), but right now I'm simply doing part time work studies w/ adult education.

You are finishing your Masters! That is wonderful, good for you. A perfect example of when you should live with your parents if needed.

WTF are you talking about?!!!!!


My kids go to normal public school

I do not sleep with my husband while my kids are in the same bed

I don't sleep with random strangers and I certainly do not have one who is afraid of everything!

WAY OVER THE LINE AND TOTAL LIES.

Then maybe you should have quoted the person you were talking about and not me.

Sorry, was speaking to both of you judging me about my terrible, mis-guided, awful motherly ways.

Oh, and I double checked with my older son yesterday. He laughed and said there is no way he wants to be a 25 year old man living with his mother unless he suddenly became homeless. He wondered what guy would?

I never called you terrible or awful. I simply disagreed with your stance on kicking kids out and making them pay rent. Disagreement doesn't equal disrespect.

Your son is not the end all and be all of what 25 year old men think. Furthermore, when I was speaking I was talking about directly after high school + 4-5 years, the average length of a BA. So it would be 23 years old, tops. Not unheard of.
