[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Step parents are evil.[/quote]

Both my biological sister and I moved in with our mom and step father at different points in our 20s. He welcomed us like his own children. Some step parents are great.

The op of this thread though, not so much.

In most marriages the women take on the bulk of the work to run the home. Your stepdad probably didn’t even notice increased workload from your presence. The OP on the other hand, is in the position where she will play maid to an adult man and her husband thinks this isn’t a big deal.

And most importantly, this man has no job prospects and no plans to move out. She’s going to spend her retirement cleaning up after an adult who’s always in her space and never leaves. Divorce would be a million times better.

It’s a very different situation than what you experienced. [/quote]

This!! I am a stepmom to failure to launch stepsons. They don't clean up after themselves. My husband does not set the expectations that they do so, despite me arguing with him that he should. They don't listen to me. He sometimes cleans up after them, but most of it falls to me. I've no interest in spending the rest of my life cleaning up after three grown men or living in a pigsty. I'm considering divorce or potentially moving out at least. We were supposed to be empty nesters at this point and instead they are here 100 percent of the time (up from fifty percent of the time when they were in high school and my husband had fifty fifty custody). Note - their MOM does not let them live with her!

If my husband was following around them cleaning up after their sloth, it would be somewhat more tolerable. Also, I think the PP before this one is a girl. Two daughters living with a mom are probably a lot cleaner and more responsible than two sons living with their dad. It's just a completely different dynamic. [/quote]

I would get a divorce. This sounds absolutely miserable. Wouldn’t you be happier living alone?[/quote]
