Has anyone come across this situation. My Partner's son cooks a meal and retreats into his bedroom to have it. so far so good. trouble is every time he has a meal the plates and accessories disapper and reappear when nearly bowl,plate saucepan or odd things has been used. this leave his mother and myself making sure that our plates remain in sight at all times. when the do come out they are covered in food and furry things. He cooks a full meal then only eats a part of it. Never does the washing up and expects us to do it. He is 23 years old and has indicated in no uncertain way he is there to stay

My Gay lover used to do that. He would raid the food store and cook the best food [smoked salmon etc.] that I had just bought. He rarely shared. When I ran out of plates/cutlery I had to search his room.

I started serving dinner on paper plates with plastic cutlery. He soon moved out, claiming things were too primitive!!! [His Mother was a Consular diplomat!!!]

Talk is better then watch the door close in your face,out comes the forks and knives hello where's the plate. Snap into it, clear the table and lay the footage. Be up front with him, then you will know who is listening father or son.

Hate to say it but it's the way he was bought up. My 19yo has left home but on a recent weekend stay I was taken to hospital in an ambulance. When I came home son had washed dishes, tidied up and vacuumed floors. I've visited him at his place and his room's always messy (always was at home too) but he was never allowed to eatin his room for that very reason (furry plates) and still doesn't do it now.

How long have you been with his mother?
Maybe the son is not use to having another male around.
At least he cook's his own food.
Just ask for a clean room inspection once a week to make sure you don't have to call pest control.

Hi there, I'm 21 and I think that is disgusting. I have flatted with people who have done this so what myself and my other flatmates did was put it in her bed and covered it with the blankets. she never did it again and we lived happily ever after cause she got the point...

Give him an ultimatim. Shape up or ship out. Tell him exactly what you expect and if he cant abide by the rules he needs to go. At 23 he should know better!
