Tink,

I am 25 years old and have no familyof my own. I make my own money and pay my mom every month, not much but enough to cover some expenses. I do often take her for granted and I realize that. To tell you the truth, it took me while to see that. Your son has to start making his money or he won't realize that money don't grow from trees. YOu daughter shuld know how hard it is to make a buck these days and I think that all she needs is a good sit down - NOT SCOLDING! Just express how you feel and explain that you are overwhlemed and need help to at least keep the house presentable.

FORCE your son to work! Take away his car until he finds a job, even though noone is driving it. TRUST ME- he needs to sense some sort of loss.

Hope this helped.
