The Library Card is Overdue

I am calling a meeting with the family before my step son and daughter in law leave on their Far east sojourn. I cannot let this lie until November when their arrival back home will signal a different set of rules that I need for this continued relationship to work for me. I know it works for my wife but not for me. I cannot continue to enable a couple that needs to be on their own. And frankly I need to feel comfortable in my own house again. The way things are just make me feel resentful and frankly not happy. 

My son likes to over react and tries to tip the see saw to make me feel guilty as if I am telling him to leave. This is just not so. What I need is more cooperation in help around the house like the three of us already do. And I need not to hear that he is going out to dinner twice in one week and that he adds nothing  to the running of the household expenses. The free ride is over, two years is a long time for a book to be out of the library. 

I love my step son and his lovely bride and no one can tell me different, even him.
