Reply #10: I have 2 kids living back home - So

[BensMom]

It may be more than the fritos. That could have been just the another straw on the camel's back.
Here it could be the extra laundry that is in the washer when I need to get my clothes washed, the non-stop stupid tv shows, the shoes I tripped over, the extra trash to be taken out...

Sometimes I like to go out in the backyard and be where the only the sounds are the birds and nothing else within 25 feet.

Every couple days I am pleased to see them contribute (without being asked) to the home. Yesterday it was a pan of brownies, the yard was mowed this week, the dog got a bath... I found these a big surprise and they gave me some relief.

The kids are living here free - to save college money. I am thankful that we can live under the same roof. It is all give and take.

Hope you can compromise. It may be better than the alternative.
