This is good to hear! It is really, really hard to cut the ties that bind us to our children - but at some point we have to learn how in order to regain our own sanity!

Just wondering - Does AJ and GF pay rent to live in your home? If not, gee, it sure seems it is time they did. Especially if they are going to have a child.

My adult son lives with me. He can't pay rent yet because he doesn't have a job. But, he pays his way by doing a lot of work inside and outside to help us. Otherwise, we would have to hire someone to do that work. Yet, I have made it absolutely clear that if he gets someone pregnant - he is on his own and can't live here.

It took me many years to finally be able to set boundaries and stick to them with this son. I know it isn't easy. But I now feel as though I do have a say in what does and doesn't happen in the home that my hub and I are paying for.
