Are you afraid SSkids will never move out?

I am starting to get worried that SS16 will never move out. He is just too spoiled and entitled to ever get out on his own. I have kind of hinted to DH that when he graduates it is time for him to get a job and move out but DH didn't even acknowledge I said anything. (Bad sign) I am getting pretty nervous about this. I don't expect him to kick him out as soon as he graduates but I do expect him to start preparing him to become self-sufficient and independent now to move in that direction. Is this just wishful thinking? When we got married I told myelf just a few years and he will be out on his own but now I'm not so sure. How have you dealt with this?

No I am afraid they will move in!!! Crazo and fsd11 don't get along.

It is a very scary thought!

I am terrified of this!!!! SD13 is pretty good but her crazy BM has a huge influence on her. BM lives off men she has no education and no job. SD21 is headed down the same road she seems to want to change but we will see. SD13 has the influence of both of them. I try really hard to show her another way of life. We talk about college and getting a job in a couple of years so she can earn money and be responsible. The way I was with my bios. I hope I can undo some of the craziness that she is accustomed too. SO is on board with it but he lacks the ability to stay tough he always gives in or backs down. So my fear is she will get really comfy and nt want to leave and he won't make her :O

I have been counting the minutes until Miss Snitchy turns 18 for the past 4 years. Well it happens in 3 weeks. BUT. She is still in 9th grade. Kill me.

We only have one left. SS14 is truly the baby, and I'm afraid he'll never go. He's always been completely spoiled and entitled. I guess my best hope is that he'll go to live with his Mommy, who has no rules, rather than stay with us.

I am fairly confident that SD will leave for college after hs, she gets decent grades so far. And if things keep going as they are she will be ready to run from our/my rules as soon as possible.

It's ss I am worried about. He has no self motivation, and I damn near have to homeschool him after school/weekends to keep him from getting left back. I truly think college is not in his future, so no easy way to get him out.

I have a plan!! SD don't live with us but I'm afraid she will want to move in eventually, I mean daddy cooks/gets whatever she wants to eat, cuts it up for her, fixes her drink, makes her bed, washes her clothes, she has no rules, why would she ever want to leave?? BUT I have decided that as she gets older I am going to make life at my house hell for her. I can be a real bitch, she has not really seen this side of me yet, but she is not moving in with us after 18 years old. Daddy says he will support me in this but don't believe him. She says jump and he says how high. But I am going to make staying at our house so miserable for her. No more sleeping all day, there will be rules, she will do as I say or get out. My son loves me more than anything but he couldn't wait to get out. I believe in responsibility and I can make her life hell!!!

This is handy.^^

My wheat (logical heathy) side tells me to just spell out to SO that you can't have two adult women living in the same household. It just won't work given our personalities. If this doesn't work doesn't work, well there's always my frosty bitch side.
