[QUOTE="Lil, post: 741621, member: 17309"] And THAT is SO hard! When they are in your house, it's SO hard to take a step back and not tell them how to live. Last time our son was in our home I swear, it was all I could do to not tell him to eat and to sleep and to bathe and to brush his teeth! He was paying "rent" at the time and still had such a struggle. The parent/child dynamic is hard to avoid. It is MUCH easier to take that mental step back when they are two states away. Fiancée was there first. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be there if she hadn't been cool with it since they lost one of the people paying rent. I'm just finger-crossing that he gets work and pays his share. The rent is steep, but very doable with 4 people splitting the cost. [/QUOTE]
