Should I be mad or am I overreacting

Ok, my 23 yr old stepson is about to get to me and he doesnt even live with us. He is wanting to quit college for the second time and go to work. I do not have a problem with that if that is what he is wanting to do, but for 6 months my husbands ex had been letting his girlfriend shack up with him.

The only reason he is wanting to quit school is so he can get a full time job so he can move out from under the momma and play house with the girlfriend.

I am not all about this. I am upset that my husband still insits that we pay the step sonss cell bill. There for a while the stepson paid it, but once he got a girlfriend he is broke for some reason.

I was raised in a family that taught me...if you want to play house you also have to pay for what comes with it.

It upsets me that now the ex is upset that he is wanting to quit school. Hell, she promoted it by letting the girl stay with him..in his bed to say the least.

I think it is time for him to actually have to take some responsiblity for his actions. If he wants to quit school and go to work and move out...then he needs to take care of all the bills that come with it.

IS that wrong in me. This is his 3rd attempt at trying something...I am tired of all the attempts....I think it is time for him to grow up and start acting like an adult. I think it is time that both parents stop acting like his 15 and start treating him like an adult!!

What do ya'll think???

Will you adopt me? I am 22 and wish I had it that easy. I dont think that you are wrong at all. He needs to grow up and pay for his own bills. He is an adult and needs to start acting like it. Hell I have a full time job with full benefits and I am going to marry a guy with two beautiful girls (yes I am a bit crazy).
