I dont want to go home from work tonight as I dont know what I will find there when I get home. My partner called me at work to tell me that his son (who is 20 and at university) is annoyed because I moved his stuff that was all over the floor and put it in a bin bag in the utility room... and I hid the remote controls.

He is meant to be at University, not at home in the middle of the day watching tv. He is in trouble at Uni because he hasnt been doing his assignments and hasnt been turning up to lessons, he has a meeting tomorrow with his subject head because of his terrible attendance record.

Middle and eldest step sons arent much better, eldest has just got out of hospital after being beat up by his ex girlfriends step father for stealing money off her and cheating on her with more than one girl.

Middle son still spends almost all of his weekly wage on alcohol and gambling and refuses to get help because his dad wont go with him and hild his hand... For f*** sake, he is 21 years old, he doesnt need his dad to hold his hand.

I dont need this kind of hassle any more, I know when I get home all Im going to hear is how unhappy my partners three sons are and how helpless my partner feels about it... But what am I meant to do when I give him advice and tell him to talk to the *boys* about their issues, and he doesnt speak to them.

I feel like all Im doing at the momment is chasing round trying to make my boyfriend happy and all he is doing is following his kids round trying to make them happy. Its affecting his work too ebcause he has to come home every day now to the alcoholic gambler and give him a daily allowance as he cant be trusted with his own bank card. He is getting a new boss in a couple of weeks and i have a feeling that he will get into trouble for not being at work when he is running round after them...

As for their mother, well, she is on another continent with her new hubby and doesnt have to deal with any of this. I hope the bitch is happy.
