  • how to deal with your married children?

    My oldest son got married 2 years ago at the age of 20,since he was in the army I thought he could make his own decisions. but now I don't know I have tried my best to get along with his wife but that is getting harder by the day, it all started when they came home to get married since he was military

    i figured i would help as much as i could but being on a fixed income I knew that it wouldn't be much .I loaned them my car to drive away from the wedding in thinking that they would go to the reception afterward but no they disappeared with my car and were gone for 3 days I found out later that they had drove it 650 miles to her families place since they wouldn't come to the wedding.

    After that they went back to Texas on the bus after I had bought them tickets, and didn't talk to me for a long time because I wouldn't give them my car as a wedding present, then in Nov. 2009 my big brother passed away and the military gave him leave time to come home for the funeral but of course I had to send money to buy 2 round trip tickets to get home on,they bought one way and used the rest of the money to get her a new outfit for the funeral, to beat it all while I was going through my finances trying to come up with enough money to pay for the funeral they came into my little office to let me know that they were going to drive my car back to texas so they would have transportation . needless to say I got a little mad and threw them out of my house and they stayed with my little brother. now my son has his DD-214 and has came home my wife sent them the last 600.00 that i had so they could come home now my light bill has almost doubled and my phone bill has tripled she calls her family and friends that are still in texas and talks almost all day,she will not cook or clean or even do her own laundry and keeps making outrageous demands of me and my wife. they didn't get the car I gave it to a needy family in town so I wouldn't have to listen to it.I am ready to throw them out and let them go back where they were but I know my wife will keep sending them money when they ask he was making over 2000.00 a month in the military and they couldn't pay their bills now with them living here I can't pay mine . I have owned my home since 1998 and all I have is phone lights and land taxes but since the lights jumped to 500.00 and the phone is 650.00 I don't see any way of keeping up with all,the bills. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I am living on a fixed income because of a motorcycle wreck that has done severe nerve damage in my lower back I have been trying to learn how to walk again since 2007.
