My son, David, started college this year. He had always been good at science and decided to become an engineer. I was very proud of him, since he had had some rough patches as a teen. But things took a turn eight months ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His school got in contact with me and said he wasn\u2019t attending classes regularly and that he was failing subjects that counted toward the majority of his grade. I was shocked and planned on confronting him. But before I could make the call, he knocked on my door, and he wasn\u2019t alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I asked him what was going on, and he said he\u2019d eloped with his high school sweetheart. I felt hurt and betrayed, but I put on my best smile and accepted them into my home. When I asked him about his sudden appearance, he said it would just be a short visit, and then they were going back to college.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, months have passed, and they\u2019re still here with no signs that they\u2019re planning to leave. So I sat my son down and told him that they couldn\u2019t live in my house forever. He needed to go back to school and get a part-time job so they could move into their own place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After that, an argument broke out. My son told his wife what I said, and now they\u2019re refusing to leave. I just got a snotty attitude from the girl, and she ended up telling me that my son will always be welcome under my roof, and as an extension of him she was welcome too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s the problem. Neither of them have a job, and they\u2019re helping with the household at all. They make a mess and don\u2019t clean up after themselves. They take food without replacing it. And they\u2019re acting like I\u2019m some kind of servant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To make matters worse, I don\u2019t even like the girl. Never have, and her new attitude is making sure that I never will. She\u2019s one of the entitled ones, and right now she believes she\u2019s entitled to my house and all that\u2019s in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has been going on for so long that I have reached my breaking point. So last week I secretly created a resume for each of them and started sending it out to different companies that offer entry level jobs. I also found them a small apartment and paid the deposit on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When my DIL found out about it, she was furious. She started accusing me of all kinds of things and said I\u2019m not a good mother because I refuse to look after my son. I told her they were old enough to look after themselves, and as adults they weren\u2019t my responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now my son is upset with me, and he\u2019s saying that I\u2019m trying to sabotage his marriage. I told him that girl was trouble and that she\u2019ll ruin his life. But he won\u2019t listen to my reasons. He just packed up and left without saying another word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So Bright Side, was it wrong of me to rent my son a new place so I could get his wife out of my house?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
