I had allowed my wife's son to have residence in our home. He already had several years of accumulated vehicles and other belongings all through-out our home and property.
All of this was to be rectified while taking up residence here with his partner and four children. Needles to say, this never happened. Immediately severe hoarding ensued. Parenting was almost null and void. The household chores, including and not limited to, cooking , laundry, cleaning, etc. Yes, children slowly learn to do these things as they grow and mature. I don't agree that it is imperative and enforced with punishment and screaming at them? This became overwhelming and our attempts to "repair" this broken machine became "harassment". Long story short they gave notice and today is there last day. For the past 45-days they refused to remain in our home and returned eight times to remove things. There remains several vehicles, a camper full of metal parts and other belongings. We allowed and enabled this life style and now have to deal with it the hard way. How does one reach such a mind-set and help a family that rebukes our attempts to assist them? I could take the nickle and dime reciprocation, greediness and petty behavior even, but the gross lack of respect I cannot.
