33 year old son living at home, but doesn’t help out

Does your husband help around the house? I’m wondering is he sees Mom as the housekeeper because that’s the way the household has been running. If so, you need to give TWO men some responsibilities. If DH does help, then getting DS to step up is a natural thing.

You need to figure out what you want him to do. Then have a discussion without accusing. Just say you enjoy having him there, but you forgot to set some parameters. Make him part of the discussion. How often do you want him doing dishes? making dinners for everyone? Cleaning toilets? Figure it out and be ready to negotiate what works for the system.

The least credible part of the story is OP having a kid when she was 22.

Your son is not a prize. I was going to say… What on earth is his future wife going to do with this ridiculous behavior?

But then I thought…. Nobody is going to marry this guy.

OP, he will be living with you for a looonnnng time if you don’t set him straight.

This is your weekly reminder that adults pulling their weight where they're living are not "helping." Even if the adults in question are men.
