Oh, Heather! My 20 y/o daughter reappeared a week ago - she was supposed to be in Europe working until November. I'm already exhausted, my home is messy, I'm depressed and she's needed a few hundred bucks that disappeared into some black hole somewhere in her life. Ugh! You have my complete sympathy.
True--I enjoy having my kids home & I actually miss my 23 yr old DD who moved out of state for work. But their DSS was single & had a baby 3 yrs ago & she & her fiance are finally buying their own house. My ex said to me that although he likes his DSD and the kid is adorable, he will enjoy having a quiet house.
Oh; I know how you feel everyone.. My son is going on a vacation next week with his gfriend. He is 32 and I said well do you need extra money?? What a stupid question? I offered them a few weeks ago and they said no.. I was happy and thought oh; good... Now he says can we have the money you offered us.. ggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Now I have to give them the money I promised.
He has been on his own forever and although I care I wouldnt ever want him back to live with me.. I am hoping and praying his gfriend never kicks him out.
Meanwhile I havent been on a vacation since 2008..gggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
We've been busy setting him up in the spare room. Ugh. Thankfully he works almost FT so he can pay his own car/ins
But yeah, I am out a few hundred buying new bedding, lights and a new tv. (I splurged and FINALLY bought a flatscreen for the living room and gave him the fossil for his!!!) So maybe more than a few hundred $$$ but some was just to treat myself.
Thanks for the support! Not that I have been bringing anyone home but I am sort of mourning the fact that I can't anymore. BOO HOO
Oh I hear you! My oldest DD, her a**hole boyfriend lived here a few years ago right after my oldest grandbaby was born. I could handle the baby but NOT her boyfriend.
Baby or PITA gf/bf....he came home alone. Praise be!! It could be worse.
Maybe there was a reason he didn't warn you? lol At least I knew when my DD was getting out of college.
He didn't warn me because all of my kids know that they can come home anytime....at least I assume that is the reason.
He went to his sister's to spend some time....they are Irish twins and probably tighter than any of my kids

That would definitely be a rule for me--kids can come back anytime, but no BFs or GFs. If they want to live together, they can get their own place.
