You can be annoyed and say something, but it's his choice to ignore you. My

Are you bugged because he is taking part of your inheritance? If so tell

Baron

We care because we feel he is not progressing and seems completely content.

DraperCoug22

Then you should stay quiet. Caring about the money is more reasonable to butt in about.

Thanks for the perspective. And yeah the money is annoying but it's not the

How can he live in their basement, steal their credit cards, not work full time and not be manipulating?

Real G Man

I did not read that as he lacks permission to use it. If he is stealing then I would address that point.

Baron

2/13/19 9:10am

is he using credit card? or stealing?

Linescratcher

They kind of turn their head and let him swipe, but I've heard them complain

DraperCoug22

2/13/19 9:18am

And if it is about money, still be quiet. It's not your money.

I disagree. Better to say your piece and move on. If my kids thought I wasn’t being fair to them I’d want them to tell

Baron

2/13/19 9:12am

Sure, it's not our money. But do you plan on giving royal treatment to ONE

DraperCoug22

2/13/19 9:14am

My parents' money is not my money. They can do whatever they want with it. And if they feel like one of my siblings

Completely true. Let's shift from money, though. Do you disagree with the

The reason I asked below if the arrangement was bothering your parents

kccougar

i *might* feel that way if it were a sibling. probably not, but maybe.

Linescratcher

It bothers her more than it bothers me.

DraperCoug22

2/13/19 9:24am

acknowledge that it bothers her w/o letting it bother you. you don't need that

Fair enough! Yeah we don't lose sleep over it, but it is definitely a thing.

DraperCoug22

2/13/19 9:29am

I disagree about the issue of discussing inheritance with your parents. However, I do agree if it is on the in-law side

Baron

2/13/19 9:36am

Parents can do WHATEVER they want with THEIR money. Inheritance should never be expected.

2/13/19 9:40am

IMO it's your parents doing. Sound like empty-nesters that enjoy the company.

coug almighty

2/13/19 9:04am

That's on his parents. If that's what they want, then fine. But they can always tell him to move out and start

Adrielle

Yet they don't do that and it is baffling to us haha. It seems so obvious...

DraperCoug22

2/13/19 9:09am

Are you parents bothered by the arrangement?

kccougar

2/13/19 9:10am

They each blame the other for allowing him to live there. When you get them

2/13/19 9:15am

It is a tough call for the parents. They aren't doing him any favors but at the

For sure. If anything it has taught me that I want to take steps to HELP my kids

DraperCoug22

2/13/19 9:16am

Yep. It's bad parenting to not do everything to help them be on their own.

hooscoug

2/13/19 9:18am

This is how I feel.

DraperCoug22

2/13/19 9:28am

I think it's fine to share those feelings with your parents.

hooscoug

The only option I see is for you to work at getting him dates

I don't think it needs to be deleted. Its good for conversation.
