[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 579556, member: 2315"] You posted that you were cozying up to Tony and bought him special treats that yu shared. That is a behavior change that should help both you and Tony to calm down and reinforce your relationship. It is what I suggested a while back. I am glad to see you starting to put it into play. It will take time but I really believe it will work with continued practice. I do understand your frustration My easy child/difficult child is still living here and he is a really good guy and he does help out around here if asked but he does get on my nerves with his quirkyness and the messes he leaves in the kitchen. He thinks that if he is sitting in the kitchen with a cup of cofee, which he does for hours at a time, he isn't done eating so therefore doesn't have to clean up the mess he made. Makes me crazy that the sink is always full of dishes when he is home. That he takes a fresh spoon and cup for each of his multiple cups of coffee and there isn't one for me when I need it. That he refuses to learn how to properly load the dishwasher and puts in huge pots and leaves all the dishes in the sink for the next load. That he never cleans out the strainer in the sink. That he eats after I clean the kitchen at night and leaves pots soaking overnight for me to deal with when I get up in the morning because he has to get to work and doesn't have time. That he took it upon himself to feed the dog and let him out in the AM but isn't consistant and I never know if it has been done cause he doesn't leave a note or text message. And the same with the cat box. I hate that my utility bills have increased over 32% since he moved back in because he runs the dishwasher so much and does multiple loads of laundry with only a couple items in them. And the list of gripes goes on and on yet doesn't even come close to your Buck. I manage to keep myself sane with the mantra that he will eventually go back to his own place and only be here a couple days a week so we can monitor his behavior. You do not have that and I really feel for you. I think I would need a therapist and a live in maid if my son were to have to stay here indefinately. -RM [/QUOTE]
