[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 119084, member: 84"] Amen to the funeral planner. :rofl: That is sooooo me. lol As for the whole "out of sight, out of mind thing"...... Actually, I think it's more accurately put "if it's not in my face I don't have to deal with it". If my adult child is living out on their own doing their own thing day and night, it's no skin off my nose because it doesn't involve me. I might not agree with the behavior, I might worry over the behavior, but not at the same level as I wouldn't be dealing with it in my own home. But if an adult is living under my roof for free room and board, and let's be honest, even paying rent, It's MY rules. I don't give a hoot if that adult is my child, my sibling, my best friend, my auntie, or God himself. It's not a control issue. I own the house. Therefore I am responsible for all that goes on inside it. CAMom, you and husband need to sit down, talk, and decide how you want things to go. What is tolerable, and what is not tolerable. And how you want to handle it. You're living the situation, so all we can do at best is tell you how we do it, or how we might do it if in the same situation. [/QUOTE]
