We lived together prior to us getting together for around three years. But I worked evening and got off work after everyone has gone to bed so I did'nt see what was going on at home. I was laid off two years ago and I'm working days and I see stuff I don't like. I am being disrespected by her children in my face and behind my back I have had things didappear from my house with know explanation things like my wallet rings cologne liqior. I have kept a journal for the last two years and I have talked to my wife about each incident and they seem to keep happening.

If it were me, I know what I would do, first of all some women let their grown kids stay home for ever and have no respect for their stepdad or the person that taking care of them, sleeping in the basement or the attic, eat up all the food in the house, don't go to school,don't work, steal everything they can get their hands on, running the streets with their no good friends, and the mother just sit their and say absolutely nothing.

I would find myself an appartment, pack my $--t, get the heck out and let her take care of herself and her grown A$$ KIDS.

I would be long gone, find myself a responsible and respectable women with no sorry A$$ grown living at home kids. Some women never let their children grow up so that why I would be the one to leave. I'm a lady and I will never marry a man with grown kids living at home.

I'm sorry but for once I don't agree with sage old guy, if you make it a choice that her kids will have to find another address, or she will lose you, she may rejoice in the fact your gone, I sure as heck would. My brother took this stance with his "wifey" and her children, and with the utmost admiration for the woman, she chose her kids, and so she should. Now he is alone and has lost the respect of a lot of people. You NEVER make it a parent chose between you or their children, because if they chose you they are pretty pathetic parents, and if they chose the kids then that's what you asked for.

Your wife may be thinking that everytime you "lose" something you bame her children, I have no doubt that it's not the case, I do not think you have lost everything for the past 2 years. You need to sit down with your wife and tell her you don't feel that she is listening to you, maybe suggest couple's therapy for you both, as she isn't listening to you on this topic. Have you shown her the record of everything that has gone missing, maybe that will help.

Sageoldguy1465 agony auntFirst, you tell all those age 18 or older that they need to find another address....

Then, you sit wifey down and tell her that her kids are going to behave better or they - and maybe she - are going to have to find another address.....

Isn't this really quite simple?????

Good luck.....
