[QUOTE="witzend, post: 69982, member: 99"] First, {{{{{{{{{{{big hugs}}}}}}}}}}} for your pain, and for the way that your family is treating you. Second, it sounds to me as if they deserve each other. easy child doesn't sound so easy child, and your mom was way out of line. She should have told him to man up and start doing the dishes and the house cleaning himself. Or live with it. For that matter, why isn't [i]she[/i] over at your house helping out? Maybe I'm jaded by my own misspent youth, and by the difficulties that I had with my own teenagers, but as things stand right now, I don't know that it's bound to get much better between you and easy child for a while, and it's taking too much of a toll on you. Realistically, how long would the two of them be able to tolerate each other? Would she put up with him, or would she get sick of his mouthiness and send him packing? If I were you, I'd pack his bags and tell him to not let the door hit him in the behind on his way out. Tell him he's welcome back home when he can act like a young man, not a little spoiled child. So, mom's sick and can't wait on him hand and foot? Life gets a lot harder than that, sonny-boy. Maybe he'll come back a little more humble than he is now, you never know. And you could get some rest. [/QUOTE]
