[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not the maid, this isn't the food bank, my car is not your Uber when you need it for FREE, go to a hotel if you plan on entertaining your friends.

Don't like it, don't visit.

They lived with you too many years not to know how the house runs. That kind of disrespect should never be rewarded.  This is not about love.[/quote]

NP, but see PP, you are totally wrong, and that is OP's problem: apparently she HAS been the maid, she HAS raised her son to think the house is the food bank, she DOES let her son use the car like free Uber, and she just let him have friends over every night without putting a stop to it the first time.

Frankly, I didn't even believe the original post was real (still think it was just a bored troll), but giving it the benefit of the doubt, obviously this kid didn't just wake up right before going home for Thanksgiving and turn into a completely different person.  This is who he is, most likely because he was raised by parents who are clueless or reluctant or unwilling to set boundaries.

You reap what you sow... so talk to your son before he comes home, tell him the rules, tell him the consequences, and then enforce/follow through.  And maybe start working on whatever your issues are (because you are the parent) that make it so hard for you to communicate and set boundaries.  This all begins with you and your DH and how you do or don't actually hold your son accountable.[/quote]
