[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 458499, member: 805"] To me, an outsider, this is part of the problem. Did Billy know he was even talking to him? Wouldn't it have been much more useful for him to get Billy out of his room, bring him into the kitchen and actually show him what he was talking about? For all we know, Billy had earphones on! My opinion, family meeting time. Calm, no raised voices, just the facts. From Tony, "your mom can't do this anymore - she is physically unable". "I am asking you, as a grown man, to begin carrying more responsibility. You can start by taking the TRASH out once a day, doing the grocery shopping, your mother will provide you with a list, and any other chores your mother needs help with. I will pitch in more as well. As a family, we need to adjust to your mom's decreased mobility." Janet, I also don't think FB was a good idea either. Was there a reason you couldn't talk to him face to face? It just appears, again to the outside me, that you all aren't really respecting each other. I think the crock pot idea is a great one! You could probably sit at the kitchen table and cut the meat and veggies and everything is in one pot - much less clean-up! I use the crock pot a couple times a week now that I am working.
