[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does he expect you to cook or does he eat the food you make? If not, why would you expect him to help with that. Supposedly if he moves out tomorrow, you'll be doing the exact same thing.

Is he doing his own laundry? Keeping his space clean? If so, what's the big deal?

If you want him to pay rent as an incentive for him to move out, then say so. Otherwise, I really don't see how it's a requirement to help his relatively young parents with things they'd have to do if he weren't there in the first place. [/quote]

He expects us to make him meals, do his laundry.[/quote]

Why was this expectation not shut down from day one? When our kids have come back home between moves or between undergrad and grad school, we always have food available on hand and if they’ll be home for dinner we always make enough. But they know they’re expected to clean their bathrooms, do their own laundry, keep their living space clean.

Why would a grown adult expect their mommy to do their laundry? [/quote]
