SUSHI ROULETTO!

My [46 M] sons [20M & 18M] and daughter in laws [20F & 18F] won’t leave the house what do I do?

quote:

Hi all, I'm a 46-year-old man and a California native in Los Angeles, and I am on my last nerve with my sons and daughters-in-law.

So here's my story: My sons both married this past summer in 2023 to their high school girlfriends, who are also sisters. Now they are my daughters-in-law, and they practically feel like beautiful daughters to me and my 44-year-old wife. Since everyone is still practically a teenager, even the 20-year-olds, my sons and their wives are still living at home with me and my wife. Both my wife and I love our sons and daughter in laws (daughters) very much, and we were very happy and gave our blessing when they wanted to get married. We are happy that they are so in love and living together.

However, it's becoming really overwhelming. It feels like I have four children: two sons and two daughters. Believe me when I say that both my wife and I feel very blessed and happy, but honestly, it's a lot in terms of food, grocery shopping, expenses, and even at night when I hear them in the bedrooms on both floors. My one son has a bedroom above us, and my other son has his bedroom next to us. Of course, they sleep with their wives and share their bedrooms now. My beautiful daughters-in-law, let me just say that financially, both my wife and I are very well off, and money is not an issue. But it just feels really overwhelming, since I have two young boys and there spouses who we consider our own girls who are married, currently going to college, not working, and are home all day with their wives. It just feels really claustrophobic and crowded. Even when we go out to dinner as a family, like this past holiday, the waitress thought that I had two sons and two daughters. And even though that's how I feel in my heart, and so does my wife, you know, my sons have wives, not sisters, lol.

Any advice for anyone who's been in a similar situation would be recommended. Neither of my boys or their spouses are going to be moving out anytime soon, and frankly, I don't want them to either. But I do want a break.

Essentially my house is a cube made of smaller cubes, right? I am in the exact middle, and in all the other cubes I have a son banging one of my beautiful daughter-in-laws and now I’m too excited to fall asleep!

I think that's just panic at suddenly developing two extra teenage children. Could be otherwise, of course, if you want it to be.

Did he not see this as an inevitable outcome tho? What did he think supporting his kids getting married young, but not helping them move out, would lead to?

They are absolutely going to have kids while still living at home and never move out.

Now if you take all the sons banging beautiful daughters in law and you jumble all the cubes up, how quickly can you get the house unscrambled? Can you do it blindfolded?

Mate, if you read that post as about being about anything other than expecting his children be thinking about moving out about now, and instead being expected to accomodate (pay for by my read too, YMMV of course) their spouses (and listen to them whenever they forget mum and dad are a wall away) then you might want to lay off pornhub for a bit.

My youngest, stunned at the realization that the tooth fairy gave him an entire loving dollar for each tooth proceeded, over the course of a few months, to pull out all his baby teeth. I realized somewhere in the second month that he'd been losing a lot of teeth, and that they were usually pretty bloody. I told him if he yanked another he wouldn't get anything for them; they had to fall out naturally or no pay. I think he snuck a few more in after that, but I can't tell because I'm sure his whole mouth was a goddamn mess after that and they probably were just falling out by that point.

That was a year ago, and they've all either grown in or are currently breaking through the gums, so ymmv, I guess. Funny thing is that they've come in much closer and straighter than his baby teeth were, so :shrug:

I think that OP is distressed because he still thinks of his sons and their partners as essentially being kids, which they literally were only a few years ago, and is straining to reconcile simultaneously being stuck in a parent-provider role for four near-children who are also doing very adult things that he can't help but notice. I do not know what this interpretation says about me vis a vis my pornhub usage.

I don’t really get a pervy vibe from the OP. The several mentions of “beautiful daughters in law” is a little weird but it reads to me like he’s just trying to convey that he’s upset with the living situation itself and not with his sons’ spouses.

My oldest is six and she hates it when any teeth are loose so she just pulls them out. Like I woke up a few weeks ago and came out to find her holding a bloody paper towel in her mouth and she proudly handed me a tooth she had just yanked.

Took her to see an orthodontist and he just laughed and told her she could definitely be a dentist when she grew up so I guess it's ok

Yeh same, the beautiful thing reads to me more like OP is trying super hard to make it clear he's not angry, really truly not mad, do not tell the papers he was mad

Meanwhile this whole situation is actually very much upsetting him. He's caught between the etiquette of being a good host to his new family members, and the reality that if he continues to be a good host forever, this will never end.

He is only now grappling with the fact that he's raised two adult sons who show no ambitions to move out, and who have appeared to settle in long-term - and that he's gonna have to push them from the nest.

I smelt a rat the moment they bungled their class bs. There’s no way this kind of twat would describe a truck drivers daughter as middle class and they would almost certainly refer to themselves as upper middle.

I feel like there has to be some sort of socio-economic Dunning-Kruger effect where everyone thinks of themselves as upper middle class despite where they sit in the pyramid.
