my son finally moved out and now wants to come back. he's 25 and wants to bring gf. i cant afford it.?

Question

And I dont want them back. Does this make me a bad parent? To make him stand on his own? My house is not big enough for this. Now he's mad at me. They only have the light bill and rent-needless to say I have several. They dont help with bills or house work.

yes he is working she is not. I have a husband(his step dad) and i did try the chores thing--was not a happening thing. I dont like the drama or the hassle of all the crap that goes on. Their rent isnt as high as my housepayment. He just started a new job. And hasnt ask the landlord if they will work with him toget the rent paid this month. I will help some but I cant put myself in a bind. I'm the only working at my house right now.

Answer 1

No it certainly does NOT make you a bad parent. It shows you are a SMART and loving parent. I have had to deal with siblings who have done this to my parents. They were even older than your 25 year old son. They allowed my brother to come back and guess what? He stopped working, laid around the house, ate their food, borrowed their car, had to have money from them for every little thing, messed up their house, wouldn't pick up after himself, etc.
My parents eventually had to get him out and they made him leave but only AFTER he had signifigantly depleted their bank account. People mooch off of others for various reason, family members are not exempt from doing this either. About him being mad at you, that is too bad, he needs to step up and be responsible and stop relying on others to take care of him. I am sorry if I have came on too strong about this issue, but I truly don't want you and your husband to make the same mistake my mom and dad have made many times over.

Answer 2

I am 24 and I pay $200/month rent since I moved back to my parents small home and cant wait to get back out. What are the circumstances of him moving back in? to save up for their own place? Also consider a list of chores that anyone can do and make a checklist so people can sign off as they do them. If they dont pay bills or house work that is your fault you have to put your foot down. good luck

Answer 3

First of all does he get on with your husband? doesn't sound like it to me!
No it wont make you a bad mother he is a man and men take care of their own problems. he has a girl friend too that makes it impossible for you to have him back home that's three reasons already.
You can't afford it because it would put a strain on your finances, your home isn't big enough.
He thought himself a man before what has happened since, he has found out that life is not as easy when you are the bread winner, paying all the bills so he wants to come back home to cry on mom's shoulder and then when the tears are all tried up try to break up the happiness of your home.

Answer 4

Tell them that you raised him once, and now it is time for him to take care of himself and his girlfriend. Tell him that if it were just him, you would consider it for a month or 2, but only if he paid you 1/2 of the bills, and cooked, cleaned, and washed for himself, but not with an additional person. Tell him that you love him, and if he is angry, you are sorry, but that he will understand when he is your age.

Hey, I live by myself. My children have their own place, and my son is always trying to give me money to help me out. (He is only 19 years old!) I put him out when he was 17, because he would not clean his room or the messes he made, he kept his friends in the house until all hours of the morning, and he would not go to school. He tells me now, that he understands why I needed to do it. He realizes how difficult it was for me to try to work, and do everything by myself, then to not be able to get any rest with his friends hanging around until early mornings.

By the way, he works and attends college now, has his own place.

Answer 5

No , it is not wrong to not let him come back! He is 25! He should have a job and work , he needs to learn to be responsible for himself. He should not expect you to take care of him , let alone bring a gf into the picture. If he cant take care of himself he shouldn't even be in a relationship. Its called tough love. You will always be his parent, and he will always love you whether or not he is mad at you. Good Luck

Answer 6

i'm hoping this does not sound incorrect or make you sense worse, yet your a unmarried mom, jointly as i'm confident they function as a family individuals. Its marvelous how including yet another person to the equation could make a super distinction. Do you have every person who could make it easier to, a mom, grandma and so on? in the adventure that your working, and looking out after your daughter having somebody who can come over and watch her jointly as you tidy the residing house and so on could be a super help. and don't hassle concerning to the clothing, i'm confident thats how maximum human beings sense while they're constrained on money. i comprehend thats how I felt, we would been using hand me downs for the final 5 years. And had to shop like loopy just to get some good new college outfits this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. however now i'm seeing my mothers ingredient, toddlers improve so speedy, its just about a waste to pay $10 a shirt, or $20 for a pair of denims. they're going to enhance out of them in the previous they actually use them. lol ok...and this is going to sound lame, yet I study it in a magizine and it does make a distinction. (i began doing it as quickly as I felt down approximately myself). dress up familiar. purely as a results of fact. even in the adventure that your no longer likely everywhere, do your hair, placed on some make up and so on. I also have a tendency to stay in my PJ's all day as a results of fact I artwork from residing house, and am continuously doing issues like scrubing out the bathtub (no longer some thing you do in heels & a dress lol). yet I have been given right into a rut, and after a 300 and sixty 5 days of purely doing the fundamentals i began out to sense so unatractive, yet i did no longer see the ingredient in dressing as much as sparkling the residing house. yet I did it besides and it did make me sense greater helpful. good success!

Answer 7

Yes this is your son... but he is 25!!! He moved out thinking he was grown.. and now wants to move back in.... with his gf...
You need to stand your grounds. It will not make you a bad parents to telll him that he cannot move back in.
You are struggling yourself. You raised your son to grow up and take responsibility for his own actions. Does he have a job? Does she work? They both need jobs and need to find an apartment together.
If you do allow them to move back in, tell him that he will have to follow back under the rules of your house. They have to help with housework, and pay a part of the percentage of the bills for the house. If he does not want to follow under your guidelines, then he cannot stay. And stand your ground when you say this.
He is 25... a grown man who needs to learn responsibility. Lots of teens think that once they move out, that they're parents will allow them to move back in any time that they get in a bind. I tried doing this, but my parents told me something that made sense, "You moved out on your own. You take responsibiilty for yourself. Technically, if you do something, illegally, I cannot help you out. Yes I am your parent, and I love you and will support you on anything that you decide, but you are a grown woman now. And this is the real world."
You yourself said that your house is not big enough for them and you also. Are you living by yourself? You don't need the drama that is sure to come with them moving back in. Picture you letting them move back in and you never have the guts to tell them to move out by a certain date, and they are still living with you in their 30's, 40's, or even 40's. I can't even imagine how horrible that would be.
He thinks he can run back to you and get your help everytime he struggles, but he has to grow up and be a man.

Answer 8

Out of fear of upsetting him and making him angry..... you'd let in?

You held up and stayed your ground when he got angry about not getting that toygun , not getting more cookies , not having more tv time.
he was angry then too ...but it passed and things moved over.

It makes you an excellent* parent to even worry that much over his shelter and need.It makes a terrific* parent for thinking that youre a bad person if you cant fulfill his needs to the absolute.It makes a superb* parent to go futher in life and account for himself even if he cant see it now.

*"And I dont want them back"
When his needs and desires are not being met (without help on the bills in a small house mind you)... he gets angry.
What do you do when you want something?.How do you answer your* desire? your needs?.
by being sad? worry? by wallowing in guilt?.

You have a comittment to him as a parent.But you have a comittment to Yourself* as a person too - but unlike him you can't go around banging your mom's door to fulfill your needs.

Answer 9

Why does he want to come back? If its because he cant afford to live out of home he needs to look at their income and how to improve it not come back home with another mouth to feed ...If it was me i would say i love you but no i cant do it and perhaps offer to cook them dinner one night a week and get that quality time happening.

Answer 10

I does not make you a bad parent whatsoever, infact the opposite, you need to stand you ground and let your son know he's old enough to support himself!
