[quote=Anonymous]As PPs have said, choose a time for dinner. Whoever isn't present then will just have to heat up their plate and clean it up after own their own.
Make them do their own laundry.
Charging rent at $500 seems reasonable (stash it away for them)
6 months notice to move out.
When they have secured a place and are ready to get their furniture etc...surprise them with the rent money you have collected for the past 6 months for them to use towards furnishing their apartments.  It will soften any ill feelings of them feeling like they are being kicked out and show them that you really are looking out for their best interest.
Also, to help drive the point, I would purposely join a gym or a type of class that interests you (painting?) to be away 2 - 3 evenings a week. First, because you deserve to take care of yourself and second, they need to be forced to fend for themselves.

You have two grown sons who graduated high school and college. That is something to be proud of. They just need that final nudge into adulthood. You are almost there!

Good luck!
