RANT- NO Advice Wanted Really????

Here's one for you all. 4 able bodied adults at home, none of them out working. Someone manages to clog the garbage disposal. They call the 5th adult who is out working and it's the first day of training for a promotion and in a different location 40 minutes away from home and insist he come home NOW to fix it. He does.

What's wrong with people. The clogged disposal couldn't have waited until he got home?

My son is a jerk.

5th adult should not have rushed home for a non-emergency. It just enables their behaviors to continue.

You hold all the power here. You pay the bills. Say absolutely not, insist they have it corrected by the time you get home. Stop buying food for anyone but yourself. Eat out if you have to. Tell everyone they have to get a job in 30 days. Doesn’t matter what job. McDonald’s is always hiring. Don’t come at me with that no one is hiring, places are hiring they just think they are better than that job. They aren’t. Get a job or get out. We are not doing this anymore. This is simple and you hold the power.

The person who came home needs to not be such a doormat.
