[quote=Anonymous] This could take a very long time but suffice to say I have two adult children living at home, one of them has just graduated from graduate school and let’s say he’s finding his place  :shock:   I am the kind of person that I devote pretty much 100% of my life to my kids and my family -  The other son is home graduated from college a year ago because the job he has happens to be very close to our home and moving downtown does not make sense at this point

I absolutely love My kids  and admittedly have revolved my entire life around them. I have started going back to work and generally walking through the door around 5 o’clock, everyone expects dinner And not lonly do they expect dinner but they expect it when they want it True to how I have been my entire life I find myself waiting around to serve the different shifts-  my husband walks in and eats let’s say around six but the other two might want dinner around seven or 730, I don’t know why but I can’t bring myself to just serve a plate wrap it up and let them deal with it instead I feel like I need to be there to serve or to them piping hot .  As an example and this is precisely what prompted me to write this post tonight my youngest son walked in from a practice or a local basketball league that he had done, I told him dinner was ready he said he was going to take a shower and then he would be 15 minutes. 30 minutes later he still was not down and I found myself just waiting around on him and not being able to leave the food and go and retire and relax myself

Please tell me that this is ridiculous, that I need to put a stop on it immediately because I feel like I need to hear it in order to stop doing it and to validate some of the feelings I’ve been having, I find myself having a very short fuse and losing it very easily because I’m feeling incredibly frustrated and underappreciated. For the record one son is 27 and the other one is 21 - Help!![/quote]
