Have you heard the saying "too many chiefs and not enough Indians" - you can have 2 managers in your house - you making rules with renters and AJ un-doing the rules on the side - to top it off AJ's dad is micro-managing on the side.

It sounds like AJ is a bit spoiled and I think he needs to learn how to fend for himself. His dad gives him a place to live and he can't live up to managing things correctly. With all those adults in the house - you shouldn't have to bring the garbage can from the curb.

I see by the way you wrote the post, that you don't want to come across as a complainer - you're being very gracious. I feel the only way AJ will become a responsible man, is to fend for himself - he needs to know the feeling of "if I don't work, I won't have a place to live or food on the table". You're a good mom but you have to cut him lose ((radio flyer)) - I say this with the utmost compassion to you.

I meant to say 'can't' not can - big difference what the little 't' can do lol.
