Ok so i will start from the begining. I got with my partner about 15 years ago.She had two sons aged 5 and 7 from her marriage (divorced about 14 years ago) now i brought these kids up,bought toys,fed them,tought them how to defend themselves,gave them whit,protected them ,and loved them unreservedly and always will and they know that. The eldest aged 22 years now i put him through his apprenticeship. at 19 He was fully qualified as a bricklayer. The youngest now 20 years has no qualifications, Has not held a job for more than 2 month in 4 years (the only job he has had) and will not even look for jobs anywhere. Neither have ever paid any board and do not think it is relevent to them. Now this has been pixxxng me off for quite a few years but my partner keeps saying to me that I am just being selfish and that i am picking on them and that they are just kids, but when i point out that they go drinking three or four times a week and have girlfriends she says that they are adults .Believe me this is only a fraction of what goes on. I would be grateful for any comments especially from the younger members. Thankyou
 
Go out into the street and shout AM I WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!! at the top of your voice.

They'll get the message.
 
No, you're not wrong.

I've paid board since I was 16. £50 a month, which I think is pretty cheap. Food, washing, electricity, yadda yadda yadda.

So, at the very least your 22 year old should be paying board as I'm betting a fully qualified bricky earns significantly more than me.
 
Whether they're biologically yours or not is of no relevance.
If they're out working but still living at home then they should pay for their keep. End of.
 
I think the OP just needed a "/rant" at the end and thread closed.

Just stop feeding them and they will soon whip into shape


or get involved in drugs to pay their way, lukechad accepts no responsibilty if this occurs.
 
Make them pay board. I used to pay £50 a week to my parents.

My brother didn't have a job and they made him backpay what he owed. perhaps with a slight discount.

Moved out after a few months which was for the best really, was just spending my cash on expensive computer bits.

I would let him stay for free if perhaps if he is honestly looking or had a job and was honesty saving hard for a deposit, but that is being kind.

I don't get much financial support from my parents but I know if it went bad they would be there for me.
 
I got kicked out when I was still at school, one of the best things to happen to me.

Oh, but that wasn't about refusal to pay board or anything like that.
