[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 583478, member: 14356"] Oh ugh! I just posted and it got lost. Sigh. Janet - I can sympathize with your situation because I went through something similar with an uncle. husband and I were living with my parents while we were saving for a house. My alcoholic uncle moved in and just about drove me crazy. I was pregnant at the time and I took care of all the housework, cooking and bought all the groceries. My parents and husband worked full time and I was working from home with our company we were starting up. My uncle would stay in bed until 3:00 every day and then get up, shower, be presentable when my parents arrived home and act like he'd been helping me out all day. Used to drive me crazy! My mom would never believe anything I said until after I moved out and she had to deal with him. He didn't last 6 months after I left and my parents kicked him out. So, my only advice would be to detach from it as best you can and dump the responsibility in Tony's lap. Whatever chores were assigned to Buck should be ones that will affect Tony if they aren't done. Hopefully he'll get the message about Buck and realize that he's not helping Buck he's enabling him to continue being a middle-aged difficult child. [/QUOTE]
