[QUOTE="4now, post: 679093, member: 17356"] I have 3 sons. The 2 oldest have been difficult since early teens. My youngest although raised in the same household has always been able to go his own way. I've had all of them live with me as adults at one time or another for different reasons. The difference is when the youngest lived with us for a 2 month period between housing ( with his wife and 2 kids our grands) it was a pleasant blending of families and shared responsibilities. They tried hard to contribute and not be a drain on our time energy or resources. It is a memory my husband and I cherish. Unspoken rules were followed. The underlying theme was mutual respect for both families sharing the house. With my other two it is always the lack of respect and boundaries that makes the time together unpleasant and stressful. We tried to welcome middle son, his wife and grands it was stressful. Mostly because of son. He reverts back to a teenager. Resentful. Provoking and testing boundaries. It is definitely a stressful experience My point being. Our D C children are usually hard to live with period. My 2 Difficult Child have had issues living with pretty much anyone because they don't respect anyone else's boundaries [/QUOTE]
