  • 2nd Marriage + Stepson = Big Problem!!! Help Parents out There!!!?

    I am 49 and Holding My 2nd wife is 42 Her Son is almost 20 years old. The Problem is he still lives at home but doesnt do anything to help out the Household and this is causing Major Problems for Me and my wife as we argue over this. My stepson works and makes as much money as I do and as much money as the wife does individually. He does no Household Chores at all--His room is a Pig Pen-He doesnt contribute financially to the Home. Mom buys his food even his work lunches-Does his Laundry and Cleans his Bathroom that he uses, Himself only. He has no curfew and comes and goes as he wants with who he wants. I raised my 2 sons ages 30 and 25 very differently. We are on the verge of splitting up I have been married to her for almost 14 Years. It has been a on going problem with her over protective actions. In the Past is was hes only 8 years old-hes only 12 years Old and so on. Now its Hes only young once he needs to live a little!! Any Help Greatly appreciated as Im about at the end !!!!
