It's funny, but I actually like having the kids hang around. They help out a lot.

The middle one just went on a grocery store run. The eldest has to leave for work in a couple of minutes. The youngest is at my dad's for the summer and I miss her terribly.

And now that I'm old and "decrepit", I could use a couple of strong young men around to help! hehehe

(47,675 posts)9. I've got a (potential) son-in-law around most of the time. He's a big help.
I feed him gas money and he takes care of chores. Good kid (young man). He's in the Army Reserves and we have to ride his ass to keep him in shape for his PTs, but he doesn't seem to mind. My wife's a 3rd degree black belt. She out-ranks him, so to speak.
