Feed Me

---

It is normal for adult children for years at home even after the beginning of the work, because the mismatch between salaries and rent. Sue Elliott-Nicholls and her son, Morgan , Elliott, agreed that it Can be A Nightmare . Here is Sue's story is a call with between from Morgan .

An unusually Warm Spring day. I skip up to the door of The Family home, it was a Good Day at work and a pleasant home cycle. I enjoy the lighter evenings and I'm home early - it's only four o'clock! Maybe I Can have a Cup of tea in the backyard.

And Then it hits me.

I The Front door and a Sahara of open-similar-jet-air-waves.

HE had THE BLOODY HEATING!

I say to the neighbors. It produces a bath plug out of your pocket.

"I'll take it with me, so he Can 't spend the whole afternoon in the tub, while I'm out and to keep the work, a roof over your head," she says.

you Can be forgiven for thinking we're both in dysfunctional relationships with men, and in a sense, we are with Our Sons ! Not To Live for Our Sons in the 20s, which are forced home, because their wages to cover London rents (and by that I mean just the rent, you Can forget other bills).

According to the Civitas think-tank, up from 37% in 1998.

These are our children. Those who are not privileged enough to enjoy the services of The Bank of mom and dad, But are privileged enough to enjoy (or not) the accommodation of mom and dad, in a highly subsidised rent.

I must say at this point that my son Morgan is lazy. To work hard, driven, determined to earn money and get on in Life - how else would he pay for his coaching habit?

I feel for him. After three years living in Manchester, enjoying independence, spread its wings, leave dirty dishes in the sink and purulent towels on The Floor to come back to a small room in a terraced house, where all the listening in to your Conversations - Every Breath you take... the need to desperately.

How Can I stop myself from turning back into the nagging mom and let The Boy breathe?

Morgan Elliott notes: This Moncler jacket, that I have basically my whole BAföG spent on this is not proof enough for The Arctic conditions I was in last time. I don't even think Bear Grylls would be able to survive the temperatures, the decides to My Mother , to us. It is ironic that she spends literally a tenner A Day on coffee, But you Can set it not to heat to afford the house of your Dear Son .

There are glasses in the dishwasher full of dirty water, because they were loaded, the wrong way. He has a University degree, how could he not know How To glass in a dishwasher? The glass is neither half full nor half empty, the glass is full-full of SCUMMY DISHWASHER WATER.

The luxury-chorizo-Sausage , which was for A Family tea, was demolished. Maybe I Can take The Chicken breast? No, apparently not. Or The Lamb chops? No. It's All Gone .

Morgan breaks during some house work

"What?" he says. "You didn't say to eat it. "

We have formed. He irritated teen, me in the screeching banshee.

Morgan comments: to See how I'm her son, it makes sense for my mom to Feed Me . However, this does not seem to be the case. Sometimes I'll decide on the spot a little chicken in The Fridge and I could just cook it in a healthy meal. Mum's phone is off, But I'm sure you offer to eat her son, with a little, not too much of a problem. This is always a great regret if. This small decision of mine has now joined somehow to a case, the me may be out of the house, and that's not even an exaggeration. "YOU'RE A 23-year-old MAN!" She screams. Exactly! And a 23-year-old man has to eat!

Take the heater back on. Did I mention the heat?

When it's cold, when I'm home I light The Fire in a room of Ebenezer-Scrooge-like. To you my anger, when I see him scurrying about the house in a T-shirt and boxers, all The Radiators fully.

What to do in this case?

Option 1. The ground him. No, he is 23, this is not a real option.

Option 2. Ask him to pay more rent and the risk of a dispute over money.

Option 3. Let it go, in a Zen like fashion and will pay The Extra heating costs, ignoring the nagging voice that tells you what a mug you are.

Option 4. Ask not to leave him, if he Can keep The Bills down. Seems a little drastic...

It's The Hidden costs that Morgan did not see. It costs money, a whole washing machine cycle for a pair of laces.

The oven is turned on, gas mark nine, to cook a Sausage - And Then left on for the rest of The Day , costs money.

"I have even thought of, turn off the gas when we are on The Road ," laughs my husband. I laugh, pause, and threw him a sideways glance. "Can that be?"

He says our son-stories of how, in his time, it was assumed that the majority of his wages for The Family and cash, placing The Money in a teapot.

"But that was 350 years ago and the times were harder then," I interject Once Again undermines him, as I did when The Boys were small. The whole family is slimming.

When we were roommates, one of us would be rolled under the floorboards in a body bag.

But then, as so often happens in families, moments later, they are laughing in The Kitchen , everything is forgotten in an instant.

Until next time.

Morgan comments: Annoying to me, by coincidence, I have a lot of rich friends, and so the idea of my mom's money from me, instead of giving me The Money for rent seems absurd. It's not really a problem in itself, and I completely understand that bills have to be paid for, But it seems my rent is increasing on almost a monthly basis. My mom is looking for any excuse to increase it - the more I earn the more she wants to pay me! The whole system feels kind of like a type of online fraud in which they subscribe, and in the small print it says *rent will be increased by £50 per month*. A six-month contract would at least give me an idea on How To get to the budget for the coming months. And Yes, that includes buying a Trainer count.

Morgan says he feels judged by us to a certain degree, this is true. We have our error in rented apartments above the shops, to visit our parents, with the freshness of clean-living, hardworking attitude, which is reserved for you and you alone.

But I also have the feeling of being judged by him. If we go stretched out on the sofa on a Friday Night with a bottle and a bag of Kettle chips, and The Boys who go to the time, we think, to bed I feel like a social failure.

When we go out or with friends, I proudly say, my children and I recognize that I am in search of approval. "You see, I have friends, I have a social Life , I'm cool. "

Morgan comments: Talk, judge, imagine, this is not a hypothetical scenario: I just came home from work and I'm Exhausted for Once I feel like a naughty smoke. In the summer I would like to take a leisurely stroll to The Park at the end of The Road , But now The Garden seems more suitable. But ... if I'm caught, then my Mama will definitely think I'm a crackhead, and judging by the excitement you caused, when I turn on the heater, you Can 't afford definitely, send me to the rehab this year. My brother, the window is open and when The Wind blows the smoke in his room, my father will definitely get a taste of me and shut down my operation quickly. Not that he's better at my age.

Yes, it is true, I judge. unnoticed by his new coach.

"Why are you saving buying a £150-a coach, if you could for a Deposit on an apartment?" I mention in passing.

hardly were The Words out of my mouth than I wish I could take them back again. Because why shouldn't he? When I was younger, in fact, when he was a baby, I bought expensive clothes, because at that time I had not the slightest hope that the purchase of A House , so Why Not ?

"If I have to pay rent, I should at least be able to the girl again," he says.

Well, girl, Yes, as is the case with girlfriends. But ultimately, this is still A Family home (not that his teenage would take care of brother - it's a pretext would him to do the Same ).

Life in a Alpha Male household there is nothing I love More Than a friend - I'm almost begging to Leave Me , as you walk out the door. But it's not a Bachelor Pad , and I would at least like to see how you are and chat with them.
