Im at a crossroads. I have 5 kids at home oldest 23(which is my stepson that ive had custody of since divorce past 11 years.) My 20 yr old and then I have my soon to be 18, 16 and 13yr olds. I can not seem to get any help or get the 2 oldest to move out. When I say something they act as if im being unfair and ask to much of them or they just stop talking to me. I feel direspected and like they just dont care what i have to do to make ends meet as long as i do it. I just cant take it anymore. What should I expect of them am i expecting to much. What fair? I never thought id want to kick my own kids out but i do and just cant get them to do anything.(not even chores). Whats even harder is the 2 older ones pick on my soon to be 18 yr old and he's already talking about moving out and he's the one i can depend on. Im a single mom and have been for long time and I had hoped if anything I would have taught them to respect women but I believe I have failed. What should i do???? Any suggestions?

Give them a time frame to step up at home or move out. Make it their choice and give them the options. My daughter was similar and moved out for 4 years with her now ex-boyfriend. She moved back in a year ago and willingly does whatever is asked and then some. She says she did not know what it took to run a household until she had to do it on her own. Maybe your sons will benefit from the same lessons.
