I am a single parent of two extremely lazy uncaring teen boys. I know their behavior is normal to some standards but they are exhausting the life out of me. I have a business in my home and work up to eleven hours trying to make ends meet. My kids do nothing here at all to help. I am constantly taking dishes out of their rooms, cleaning up the kitchen after they eat, flushing and wiping the toilet seat, picking up clothes and towels, taking care of the yard and grass. They literally do nothing around here. I have created this problem through the lack of desire to live in constant conflict. I hate even hearing myself nag so I have sucked it up and done everything here myself as well as working with my clients through all this. I would like to change the situation and make them pick up and take care of their things...Am I dreaming here?

change things. I know it won't be easy and there's going to be high emotions and decisions that can be tough to implement but just do it. Good Luck. I was there once and what worked for me might not be the right advice! I interviewed six therapists beoe hiring one!
Leave their dirty dishes, clothes and towels in their room, leave the kitchen dirty, quit cooking for them, leave the toilet a mess.
You did not mention their ages.
Do your clients come into your home?
Do your boys work? Go to School?
As long as you allow the behavior without consequences it will continue. Quit buying groceries for them unless they are underage.
Good Luck
Ask yourself: Am I a victim or a volunteer?
I'm still trying to resist enabling my 30 year old Daughter by sending her money. But I don't know how because she is homeless, pregnant, and has a 2 year old. I know I need to quit, but I can't eat or sleep knowing she and my grandson might not have a roof over their head and at least my money can get them a room in a boarding house.

I am a 60 year old widow who has worked for the same company for 35 years. I have total assets of about 3/4 of a million dollars if I sell everything I own. I so want to retire so that I can travel before it is to late. My husband died 2 years ago at age 61. He was not particularly sick and 3 hours later he was dead. So I am aware that life is short. What I am afraid of is that I will run out of money before I die. My children have already recieved their inheritance so I am not worried about saving it I just want to make it to the end with out haveing them support me.

I would continue to work at your job and get the advice of a trusted financial expert which can suggest investments and solutions that benefit your long term goals. The financial products that
provide a lifetime of monthly payments might be the answer, Take your time thinking any advice over and don't be afraid to ask questions or seek out competitive products or ideas! Retire when you have all the pieces in place because you won't be able to find a job later!
