No, don't feel bad or even apologetic. This is your house too and everyone who lives under your roof will have to follow your rules as well. It's quite understandable that your husband would stick up for his son because that is his son but he should treat all his children the same and shouldn't single out one. Your daughter might end up feeling resentful if she sees that her dad is taking the son's side all the time.
Also...u have to start setting ground rules for the son. At 19, he's more than capable of being responsible. If he wants to stay at the house, he either has to pay rent or help around with chores. He can't be a freeloader and if your husband doesn't start putting his foot down, his son will become one. Tell your husband to stop being an enabler.

Self centered no. You are right. you are not the only person that should be correcting the kids. you have done your part and more . it is time he joins in and helps you .
