[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 46836, member: 3626"] This sounds so like my daughter. I do think part of it is trying to grow up, especially when they know you will be there to pick up the pieces if necessary. I think another part of it is to let us know that we can't control them. Even if the rules are minimal, they are rules and they are legally adults, so why should they follow these rules in their own home? It is okay to have some rules at someone else's house, but not their own. Wouldn't it be nice if they got the fact that it isn't their house, it is yours and your husband's -- you paid for it, you bought the stuff in it, you pay the bills for it, you maintain it. He sleeps there and, if like my daughter, eats there on occasion. But it is HIS house -- just ask him. [img]:hammer:[/img] I understand your pain. It does feel like you're being slapped even if you understand the thoughts behind it. Many hugs. [/QUOTE]
