[QUOTE="trap485276, post: 286410, member: 7422"] I need advice on how to deal with my step son. He is 22 and lives with us he claims he makes no money but has money to go out drinking and shopping not to mention that with in a month he saved enough to take a trip to Europe. we gave him and my son the down payment for new cars with the understanding that they would make the monthly payments they both agreed, my son has never missed one payment along with paying for his own car insurance and all his expenses. I have tried telling my husband that we are not teaching him to be financially smart. my husband tried talking to him and explained that we feel that is has taking advantage of us we are both driving ten year old cars we can't afford to but a new car due to the fact that we have incurred more them six hundred dollars a month with his bills. and he is always asking for gas money on top of it. I am starting to resent him living with us but i don't want to tell him to move out i know that would hurt my husband. I have told my husband that is not fair that my son is paying all his bills and never ask for spending money while his son is living with out any responsibilities. My husband says we can't expect the same from his son since he doesn't make the amount of money my son makes, my thinking is he choose his career path he needs to live with in those means. and funny that his is able to save enough for a price vacation in a very short time. while we have not being able to go on any vacation in the past two years. my last thought at their age i feel that free room and board is helping them enough.:whiteflag: [/QUOTE]
