[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are part of the family just like any other. My dh is a doctor and works crazy hours. I don't limit when. he's allowed to do anything, including preparing food. He's just as valuable as the rest of us! So, we got thick carpet upstairs and on steps instead of all hardwood, as it was so loud that we were all getting woken, even when someone peed at 2am (op - are people allowed to pee and flush the toilet? If not - you have a much larger issue going on) . He uses a different bedroom on these nights and i wear ear plugs and/or use a white noise machine. I also close the door. Fair for all.

OP - if you want to have any kind of long-term relationship with your adult kids, you need to loosen the reigns a little. And please don't pull the "i pay for everything" card. It's so entitled and awful to throw paying for college and housing in your kid's faces. You're the parent - that's what you're supposed to do!

People are being very contradictory in their posts - claiming they are "grown" so they should be able to adhere to whatever rules. Well- if they are "grown" then they should have more freedom to live as they choose and they should be valued as human beings apart from their mother's needs. [/quote]

I would be so upset to learn that my surgeon had been woken up repeatedly the night before my surgery by kids coming home late. [/quote]

Can you not read? None of us has an issue with sleeping anymore since we're realistic and respectful of the needs of ALL members of the family. My dh frequently sleeps during the day, when lawn mowers are going and everyone in the house is up and loud. Should I ask the neighbors to not mow the lawn?? No - He's adjusted just fine, without expecting anyone to tip toe around him.

Op needs to integrate this new (and very long lasting stage) into her home. That was my point. [/quote]
