[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 617958, member: 17269"] I agree with the posts above. Regarding your 18 year old...my mom's rule applies--you don't have to like your siblings but you have to be nice to them. Period. Not nice, especially at his age, means not participating in family benefits, such as travel, movies, meals, or...ultimately...living at home. Not much you can do for an 18 year old aspie...sometimes getting out of your house and living with a peer group is the best thing that can happen to them. Friends won't tolerate disgusting hygiene for long. Regarding the 20 year old...leaving the house at midnight is cause for expulsion, even if he claims it is job related (even if it IS job related and you have a rule against it). If he is married to AMWAY, and you have said your piece...not much more you can do on that front. I am going to tattoo "HE IS NOT DEAF" on the back of my hand...--cause at 20, he can do it if he wants to and he won't hear you advise him otherwise, even if you say it 100 times. I'm sorry your kids are giving you such headaches. Set some clear firm boundaries and stick to them and see how that works. [/QUOTE]
