	Description:		1. Adult children/step children still living in the home or relying heavily on parent. I don't currently have this issue but I see a few freeloaders in our future. My daughter is 18 today and is on track to move out and start her life. I have a fear that my step son's will want to move out, they will go straight to mom's but then keep asking dad to buy them everything putting a strain on us being able to enjoy our empty nesting. We are doing our best to teach them responsibility, but with BM's "couch crashing" influence, ugh. 2. I have 2 step-daughters that are compete daddy’s girls, which is sweet but they rely on him for EVERYTHING. Cooking, cleaning up after, picking out their clothes, trimming their nails, etc...all while criticizing everything. This critical nature carries over into what I cook (mom does it a better way) to the way I water my plants (yes, you read that right). Did I mention they are 15 and 11? I could go on and on. Trouble is, I want to like them, but I just don’t because I’m so bitter how they have no discipline and treat my 2 boys like trash. The most recent convo ended with my give a damn being busted because I was told that I should be able to get over it since I’m the adult and should set an example, and they are “just kids” and don’t know better....
