Well, I'm going to have to do it. This is tough decision I had to make, but sometimes we just have to do these things, right?

That's why I am offering to you guys first the amazing chance to own a unique item.

One, never-used, slightly damaged 22 year old male child/man.

He will make sure to wake you up at 4:00 in the morning to let you know there is a power outage. What's 3 1/2 hours of laying there unconscious before you really need to get up? Better to get a jump on that power outage so you know it's happening and can sit in the dark and discuss why it happened, did it happen to the whole neighborhood, when will someone fix it and what you personally plan on doing about it.

He will let you know at 5:32 after the power comes back on that a light bulb is out.

He will always make sure the house smells like a locker room.

He will never, ever bother you with those pesky dishes piling up in his room. Oh, and don't worry about silverware. He will just throw that away in the trash.

Laundry? Fuhgeddaboudit! You won't have any because all the wet towels in the free world will lay on his bedroom floor, carpeted, producing a beautiful mold foliage.

Food items that expire in 10 days will be rushed to this date by being left out on the counter over night.

He will sleep all day and text you asking you to stop and get him something to eat and drink on your way home from your full day at work.

He will go to college for a couple hours, 3 days a week, and come home and skulk about the house at night on little cat's feet (if those feet weigh 300 pounds each).

He will frequently see about your health at 2 or 3 in the morning. Be assured that you will not drop dead without him knowing. (As long as it is between the hours of midnight and 5 a.m.)

A toilet is just a suggestion.

He will tell you he loves you.

This item will not last long. Be the first on your block to own my son. Only serious buyers need apply.

Well ... I don't want to nitpick, but labeling this item "unique" may be stretching the vernacular a bit. :cool2:

Question: Who raised this piece of work?

This made me laugh (most things do).

I won't go into specifics, but this is the exact question I would think of -- but not ask -- whenever my own mother would become exasperated with me for being the way I was (am).

People ... :umm:

You may as well laugh . . . the alternative can be attractive at times, but it tends to feed on itself.

Oh DJ. ;-D Pucker is right, it isn't unique. Maybe that will help some.

You all know our oldest moved back home for a year. He never helped with chores. Well, not never, maybe 3 times in that year.

He did not leave dishes in his room, but rather the living room.

He did do his own laundry, but I always tried to beat him to it, because he never sorted anything, and just threw everything in all together, waaaay too large of loads. I was always afraid he would break my machine.

Now, his new home has been completely immaculate every time I have been over there, so he has learned how to do chores. :rolleyes:

It will be ok. We (moms) enable them. :laugh:Deep breaths helped me. ;)

DJ, may I propose a trial period trade, for a 15 year old high school freshman girl? Center of the universe, drama queen, and all-around PITA. You will get to sleep until 5 am, though (the time she wakes up and stomps around while primping in order to leave for school by 6:50). You won’t have to worry about anything in her room though, as there is no place for you to walk. You will need to do laundry on a daily basis in order to ensure that special outfit (pre-planned but failed to inform you) is ready to wear. She will tell you she loves you, but only when you do something special for her, transport her and her friends all over creation, or provide her money to go shopping. Slightly stooped in stature due to the constant social media nonsense done on that damn cell phone. She does get good grades though, and is cute as a bug (according to her).

Ah, Sisterwife, this is, oddly, a relief to me. You wouldn't believe (or maybe you would) the ways our almost 15 year old son is breaking my heart right now. Teenagers suck. I thought boys couldn't possibly be a difficult as girls. Ha! They are, just in an entirely different way. DiO'Bolic - perhaps you and I can work a deal. You take Dana Jean 's 22 year old son, I'll take your 15 year old daughter, and she can take my son. Then you get to experience the joys a boy can bring, and she and I can be in a comfort zone of "been there, done that, have the scars to prove it". I'm just going to up the meds, and hang on for the ride. We also have a totally independent 24 year old daughter who is mostly OK now, so there's a light at the end of the tunnel...maybe. And we have a 12 year old daughter who I am totally convinced will be the next Madonna/Lady Gaga. She's the center of her universe. And kind of scary. But she's lovely and and has a great voice, though her heartfelt rendition of Amy Winehouse's "Rehab" terrifies me. Kids, whose idea were they? I was fine with just the 1. But the Ogre wanted a big family. How fun!

Oh, how often I wish we would have considered boarding school from an early age. :)
