    Rich..how'd you get your kids to move out? tell me the secret.

    I've tried the moody, interferring parent bit (she didn't notice any difference:o ) and tried upping her rent, yet still she stays:rolleyes:
    The first time we said hello, was the first time we said goodbye. As the angels took your tiny hand and flew you to the sky-you forever left us breathless. RIP my beautiful granddaughter :(

    Hi BLTN - she knows she's on to a good thing. My kids are a bit young to move out 16&17 but I'm waiting for the day. Don't get me wrong they are lovely but then again they're not always asleep.

    Hi Bltn,

    I don't think I've got the answer really.:mad:

    Our first "moved in" in 1981 and we've still got one to go; that's uncomfortably close to 30 years if the last one drags her heels.:eek::eek:

    True, but i do everything i can to make life hell :j
    heating is staying off until the end of january and no food apart from health stuff in the cupboards..yet still she stays. :mad:
    Time to stop doing her washing i think...at her age i had my own place, was married, paying bills..............oh and heading for divorce and bankruptcy. Maybe there is the answer to why she won't move out:rolleyes:

    Nah, i love her really and would be lost without her :D
