[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 243447, member: 84"] Susie hit the nail on the head. My rule is Once you're out, you're out for good. It worked well for my grandmother, and I expect it to work just as well for me. My husband is the flip side of that. His Mom let us move in with her so many times over the years it was not funny. (I had to mega put my foot down) husband would've bled her dry with no sense of guilt at all if I hadn't put a stop to it. My mother in law is the most wonderful woman in the world. But her "helping" husband only made it all worse, so much worse. He is now 60 and if I don't keep on him.......Well, it ain't pretty. His Mom's "help" didn't help him to grow up and stand on his two feet and be a man. Yup. mother in law reinforced what dear ol' grandma taught me. He's an adult. It's all on him now to succeed or fail. You gave him the tools, it's up to him to use them. And as long as you're his safety net, he never has reason to learn. You'll be the bad guy for awhile, sure. But it will only last until maturity smacks him upside the head. You have a right to piece. You did your time. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
