DH and I have finally come to realize that. The only way DUG will ever learn is if he just falls on his face and has to pick himself back up. Sometimes the mama bird has to push the baby bird out of the nest. Only this time the baby bird is 47 years old!
To tell ya'll how self-centered he is....He asked DH to buy him a pack of cigarettes. DH told him no. (that was a rule when he first moved in - we absolutely will NOT buy cigarettes for him.) DH told him that any spare money we had right now was going to help the kids I babysit and their family.
DUG had the nerve to pout and say, "But charity begins at home! You should help family before you help someone else's kids."
EXCUSE ME???? You mean to tell me that CIGARETTES are more important than helping some children get much needed school supplies and clothes????
And as far as the helping family goes, what have we been doing???? We brought him into OUR home where he watches our television all day, reads MY books (without asking I might add), stinks up my house with his cigarettes (even though he smokes outside that smell follows him everywhere), eats our food, etc. and he doesn't think we are helping him????
