    Adult son living at home...

    Vlad, we didn't allow him to return home, he never left. Now it looks like he is going to have to leave anyhow. He decided to get a dog that is part pit(great dog, very sweet) anyhow we found out our apartment complex doesn't allow them so either the dog goes or he and dog goes. Having 2 dogs...

    Adult son living at home...

    I would be surprised if he is out by 30. This morning I tried to call and text him to see if he could take care of the dogs. He never responded. I even said if I don't hear back from you I will have to go home at lunch, a 40 minute round trip. Still no response. I really want him off the phone...

    24 year old Step daughter and being respectful...

    My parents visited last weekend and my step daughter really bonded with my mom and dad, especially my dad, calling her grand ma and then letting her know that she was going to buy a plane ticket to see my mom for her birthday in December. A few nights later, me and her mom had a big blow up...

    How do I know if I was a good step parent?...

    I had thought I was but now their mom are saying that they don't feel like I really love them and am not committed and that I put my parents above them I am trying to do more research and found some good things to look at. Anyone else have similar situations? What did you do? Any good books?

    26 Year old living at home...

    Yes he does pay for the gas. He can take the bus part of the way, which is what he did before his last accident. His mom would pick him up part of the way. Car pooling to work would be good but I don't know if he will ask anyone at work, and there is really no way for us to verify that. I am...

    26 Year old living at home...

    Not really a life lesson, although I agree it should be. Now what happens is his mom has to take him to work and pick him up everyday, or I will. If I don't Ill feel guilty.

    26 Year old living at home...

    Since then I found out that he didn't have insurance when he 1st got his car when he got into an accident. Bottom line he now doesn't have a car because the bank took it.

    26 Year old living at home...

    Well things took a turn for the worse. A few months ago we told him to get his own insurance. I set it all up and Allstate told me he was good so I removed him from my insurance. It turns out he never did, I'm not sure why Allstate said he was taken care of, but now he lost his car.

    26 Year old living at home...

    Hello, what is the appropriate or fair amount of time to give him to move out. He works full time and has a job. He lives in the room with his 24 year old sister. He has a very hostile personality and is causing a lot of friction. His sister is ready to move out and at her age she certainly is...

    How do I know if I was a good step parent?...

    Another part to this. I have been told that my parents haven't been good step grand parents to the kids either. They do send them I think its either 25 or 50 dollar gift cards on their birthday and Christmas and they text them. When they visit from out of state they always want to see them and...

    How do I know if I was a good step parent?...

    My girlfriend of 14 years and I are having alot of issues. One of the major ones is that she says I haven't been there for the kids. When we met they were 10 for the daughter and 12 and 13 for the boys. They are now 23, 26 and 27. On fathers day I didn't get a card or any even acknowledgement...

    Adult son living at home...

    He is turning 26 this year and does contribute to the household but we discovered recently that he has been lying about paying what he is supposed to pay. As part of the deal of living home he has to pay rent. Instead of paying us directly he was just going to pay the storage units we have. A...

    Older Son and my Credit Cards...

    After some more phone calls, like I don't have enough on my plate, both banks can deal with him directly. I'm speaking with fraud. Kicking him out would be tempting but he has no where to go and no car. Plus if we kick him out his problems may get alot worse.

    Older Son and my Credit Cards...

    It's not my bank account. It's credit cards I used once for a special offer, paid off and never used again. I am handling it with the card companies. Maybe a letter was sent offering me another deal on the card or whatever. The point is he spent 3000 on one card and 2000 on another. I just...

    Older Son and my Credit Cards...

    I don't know the particulars. According to the credit card companies when I called them, they said the cards account numbers were changed and the phone number was his. I had one of the cards 2 years ago to buy an airline ticket because I got a discount. I paid it off the next month then never...

    Older Son and my Credit Cards...

    They were cards closed already or so I thought. Yes it still is a felony and if I wanted I could probably get him put in jail. I don't want to do that. As you say it's family. Even though it shows a complete lack of disrespect.

    Older Son and my Credit Cards...

    The way I didnt notice is because I didnt have the cards in my possession. There were 2 credit cards and since they were paperless, I never saw them come in the mail and he used his phone number so any late past due calls would go to him. If someone set up an account with your ss# and name, you...

    Older Son and my Credit Cards...

    No I didn't give him access, but living in the same home for 12 years I guess info isn't hidden. Nor did I think it would have to be. He bought things like concert tickets, gas, amazon stuff, Web sites access.

    Older Son and my Credit Cards...

    Hello again, same guy with the son with no car. We sort of resolved the other issue and he is now taking the bus most of the way to work. I now found out after having my credit run that he has been using 2 credit cards in my name and have racked up over 5000 dollars in 2 cards. My score dropped...
