Bad news. The 12 after that are no picnic, either. Youngest stepson (18) and his fiancee finally moved out into their own apartment two weeks ago. Since that time, they've begged for food, money for tuition, books and gas, and a car, and walked out with a DVD I'd brought home and didn't even get to watch. Oh, and his mom's laptop, without asking.

Got the stuff back, but I don't really expect the whole financial support issue to end anytime soon. At least I'm not having to scrape my DVDs off of their overturned plates on the bedroom floor anymore.
