Hello!

I know you’re not meant to say that. But, it’s the truth.
I love them. I truly do. But they are very unlikeable.
My middle (22M) is the most entitled, arrogant, selfish person I’ve met (and my ex was a narcissist). I am staunchly feminist and did not raise him to be this entitled.
I am a chronic overthinking, people pleasing, overachieving, catastrophising, enabler who has problems saying no.
I’m worried we will get to the point where we hate each other.
He keeps bringing animals home and I end up taking care of them because I can’t stand by while he forgets about them. My yard is full of car parts and old bikes etc. He genuinely thinks he rules the roost. He won’t change his cats litter, pay for his animals food, take the bins out or help at all.

How do I help him see he needs to adult better?

  • I was a little confused at first because I though he was 22 months old lol – until I kept reading.
    This must be so hard and I know they don’t listen sometimes. You are going to have to have to find the right moment and ask him to sit while you have a heart to heart. You are no longer responsible for his pets and he needs to clean up his stuff. Maybe talking to his friends about how manage at home. Maybe ask if he has ever stopped to wonder how you feel.
