It's funny, but I actually like having the kids hang around. They help out a lot. HopeHoops Jul 2012 #4

Same here. I wasn't eager for them to move out. femmocrat Jul 2012 #5

I've got a (potential) son-in-law around most of the time. He's a big help. HopeHoops Jul 2012 #9

The middle one just went on a grocery store run. The eldest has to leave for work in a couple of minutes. The youngest is at my dad's for the summer and I miss her terribly.

I feed him gas money and he takes care of chores. Good kid (young man). He's in the Army Reserves and we have to ride his ass to keep him in shape for his PTs, but he doesn't seem to mind. My wife's a 3rd degree black belt. She out-ranks him, so to speak.
