Ever since my parents fixed the car (put a new motor in it) and gave it back to my son he's been down his girlfriend's house just about everyday. So much so until he's starting to neglect his chores at home. He goes to class in the morning then leaves there and goes straight to his girlfriend's house until 9 or 10 PM each night. My husband came home the other night from work and one of my son's chores is to take the dogs out on sunny days to let them get some air and to clean up the sunroom where we keep them. He, my husband, said he walked in the house and the entire place smelled like dogs. My son left school and instead of coming home first to do his chores he went straight to his girlfriend's house. It's gotten to the point to where he hasn't even changed the linen on his bed in weeks. My husband asked him about it the other day and he still hasn't changed the sheets.
My husband told me last night an old saying his mom loves to say. He said "he's going to run out!" I wasn't sure what he meant by that so I asked. He said he's down there everyday and as an adult he wouldn't want to come home every day after long hours to walk in and there's your son or daughter's boyfriend or girlfriend always sitting there. When they go out to eat they always take him which means they have to pay for him cause he's not working. Today is his birthday and they are taking him to an NBA basketball game and out to eat. I feel like if they don't mind doing that then what's the problem? My husband says that I needed to say something to him but I don't see the problem if they are fine with it.
What can I do to get my husband to understand that he's not doing anything wrong? Her parents love him and enjoy having him around.
Your son lives at home for free drives a free car that someone else paid to fix after he broke it, and doesn't even do chores. My 10 year old does chores.
And believe me her parents will get tired of feeding, housing, cleaning up after, and generally supporting the loser that knocked up their daughter eventually.
Your husband is right. Even my 11 year old does chores and even works to make money walking dogs around the neighbourhood and mowing laws. You gave your son a car after he trashed the first one, is that correct? was he also drunk at the time? Regardless, that doesn't fly, you are teaching your son that it's ok to be lazy and entitled. Then when he gets married, he will also expect his poor wife to do all the work around the house because you have taught him that way of thinking
If your son can't even take care of a dog(s), how in the world will he take care of a human baby? Unless the mother is a far more responsible person, please encourage them to think about adoption. Your son has no business being a father right now.
