[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 301511, member: 1991"] Don't feel guilty. THat is most important - it is YOUR home, t hey would be having to resnt somewhere and would have to have an agreemewnt in place. You all need to contribute to thr household, you are the head of the household and so therefore you are the director of this show. We went through this with easy child 2/difficult child 2 & BF2 living here. easy child 2/difficult child 2 was the worst waster of energy - she insists her bath be run at 43 C but would then leave it to go colder, ten let ater out to run more hot water in. Then BF2 would have a shower (a long one) and even if we haf the electric hot water booster switched on, the tank would run out and we would only have cold water left for husband's shower. And HE is the main breadwinner, his needs must be paramount. The rest of the electricity bill - the kids had a small electric heater which was on constantly, pumping kilowatts into the atmosphere. When they moved out, the power bill for the next quarter was down by about 80%. And the kids first power bill? Oh, that was funny... Marg [/QUOTE]
