I am going to explode any minute

My wife's daughter is in the next room with her boyfriend, they hibernate in there for hours and hours doing nothing but giggling it is driving me insane.

All they do is eat, sleep, occasionally use the bathroom (though not to wash) and f**king giggle. She is 22 he is 21 and they both go to university, lazy is not the word and the trail of devastation they leave behind then defies belief.

I want to scream....argument with wife will ensue as usual

I have had enough!

I suggest you deal with it before it becomes a crisis...which it seems it already is???

I observe as an outsider, I have never had kids but if I did they wouldn't be like hers, she is their mother and can't see any faults.

We have argued on many occasion about them and I am ready to walk!

:evilgrin:

Start cookin' stinky food, they'll leave.

Cook anything and it will be consumed, he is 7 feet tall and eats anything in sight, she is around 5 feet tall.

At this very moment they are raiding the fridge!

Aaaaaargh

Smells for hours!

Start walking around the house in your boxer shorts, passing gas as much as possible. Talk to yourself and whistle some inane tune over and over.... then let them know you used to sit around and giggle in your youth.

I had already done 2 tours of duty, had respect etc these monkeys don't give a f**k about anybdy but themselves

Drag out every family photo you can lay your hands on, into the room where they are staying. Loudly narrate each one as you hold them up! Complete with family history! Make it all up if you need to!

Get out board games, seek them as playmates! Take the board games into every room they flee to. Family fun galore!

Be with them, you good parent! Pay lots of attention! Gather all their discarded clothes and put them all in the washer! Find all their clean ones too and add them! Be helpful! Make sure they get half-way done, still very wet and soapy! Then forget about the entire laundry operation, and they will eventually find it!

Disable the toilet, temporarily and fixable by you (maybe not very practical, but great if you can swing it in your house with minor inconvenience to you)! Whoops! Now they'll have to go somewhere else, where their activities may not escape notice! Family togetherness!

Show them your toenails! What do these people think might the matter with your toenails! Fascinating good time!

Ask that big handsome guy to come with you into the crawlspace, or attic, or cellar, or basement, and have a look at whatever is wrong with the air conditioner, sump pump, heater, insulation! He's really tall and capable, he'll appreciate being needed!

Gosh, I have a lot of good ideas!

My edit, I have just so many good ideas, some weren't clear upon review! I can always find great ideas for super family times!

...are fiendishly cruel!

:evilgrin:

These suggestions are wonderful! You should start a service to advice people on how to handle difficult relatives!

got to get the hell out

If they usually study hard during the semester, lighten up. They might need to relax before getting back to school. I know that I did. They'll be gone soon.
If they live with you all the time, perhaps your wife should look into some alternative living arrangements if their lifestyle really bothers you.
Are they smoking pot? That causes some people to giggle and eat and sleep a lot.

The problem is that they annoy _you_

So, deconstruct that and then act on the component that will most likely alter your reaction.

It would seem that they are now on a holiday break so maybe you just have to hold out until they go back to school.

when I was her age I was a sergeant in the military. If I had behaved that way at home, my dad would have kicked my ass - and the guy's ass, out of the freaking house.

No respect.

Develop a taste for music you know they'll despise.

In the U.S., some stores play "easy listening" music to keep kids from loitering. Bad classical music. Wayne Newton. 1001 Strings. Tijuana Brass. Don Ho.

Go to a thrift shop and pick up a dozen bad albums.

And on the laundry thing? Try accidentally putting a red sock in with their light-colored things.

Hooray...........I feel good

That'll show 'em.
