[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 570233, member: 1514"] At least you got him out! I bow to you. I have a 31 year old who is still living with me! Now he is somewhat respectful to me and he does pay me $150 a month but that barely pays what he eats each month but it makes him feel like he is actually paying his way....lol...as if. He does nothing else, no chores, no helping around the house...nothing. He does go to work but thats it. We made a huge mistake in allowing him to stay here long after he got his job. I know why we did it but it was stupid. I would also suggest not taking so many of your son's phone calls. If he starts getting ugly with you I would hang up. I think the next time he calls I would start the conversation by giving him a new set of rules before he can get many words out and simply tell him that you do not enjoy hearing from him if he is only going to call to whine at you and blame you for everything wrong in his life. He is old enough to take charge of his life and make it what he wants. If he wants to call you and speak to you in a respectful manner and share conversation like two adults, that is fine but if he starts to get ugly you will simply hang up....then do it every single time. He will get the message. [/QUOTE]
