Take what you need to contribute to the household in your way. Let the boys sort out their own mess, and fumigate it after they move out.<br /><br />(Welcome back, btw)Mark In Mayennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14987723233401368368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587860436342408680.post-3963227845098414002009-12-08T00:48:46.795+00:002009-12-08T00:48:46.795+00:00Welllllllll......we ARE talking 24 and 17 for cryi...Welllllllll......we ARE talking 24 and 17 for crying out loud.<br />Enough of the broken promises, already. You have given ample opportunities for them to put their money where their mouth is. You think one more opportunity is going to produce different? Yeah, well....I'm a 'show me' kinda gal. If they weren't the age they were....might be a different response. But 24 and 17?! NononononoNO! I'm with Francis (with an I).<br /><br />Tough love ain't always fun. But neither is being lied to and conned and taken for a ride over and over again. They can get different by doing different. I'd make it that simple. In the meantime--go enjoy that lovely work spot and claim it for your own. :-)<br /><br />YEAH!! A pretty work room!!<br /><br />Oh...and congratulations to the girl. She's gotta feel pretty proud of herself!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14408403855260279799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587860436342408680.post-21897260798082926532009-12-07T00:31:03.277+00:002009-12-07T00:31:03.277+00:00uhm 24, time to fine their own place soon, so no g...uhm 24, time to fine their own place soon, so no guilt here with making them share....mamahasspokenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049292242708654609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587860436342408680.post-55634554210275061862009-12-06T23:29:39.171+00:002009-12-06T23:29:39.171+00:00I am thinking along those lines and I think I just...I am thinking along those lines and I think I just need to know that it's not me being mean or selfish.<br />I agree they don't deserve another space to ruin, just need to not feel bad about it as it seems a bit selfish.<br />But thanks for your comment, does help to know others think it's the right thing to do.<br />Some times it's hard too be the one who calls the shots.<br />Mind you Francis(with an i)is all for me having it for the same reasons as you.<br />Much love<br />Lia <br />xxLiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14561789091996849444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587860436342408680.post-35201508515876420622009-12-06T22:37:09.075+00:002009-12-06T22:37:09.075+00:00They've proven to you by their past behavior t...They've proven to you by their past behavior that they don't appreciate the room they have. Why reward them with another room to trash? It's all about tough love. <br /><br />I say use the extra room as your craft room/workplace and pretend their messy room doesn't bother you at all.<br /><br />I know I sound mean but you can't let them run the show; it is YOUR home, not theirs.<br /><br />It's great to see a post here.Cheryl Petershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09064303602761860569noreply@blogger.com
