Dear Abby: Stepdad ready to put his foot down about 42-year-old son who lives with them, does nothing

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I have been married for 40 years. Her 42-year-old son came to live with us four months ago.

He has never worked in his life and does nothing. I’m supporting him now.

Tonight, my wife told me, “Don’t forget about the trash. The pickup comes early in the morning, and I know you don’t want to get up at 5 to put it out.” I said, “Have your son do it. He doesn’t do anything except sleep all day and eat all night.” “Well, he’s in bed already,” she responded.

So I took the trash out and finished the dishes. He walked past me to go outside and have a cigarette (that I bought). Am I wrong to be mad? My wife says I’m wrong. -- IMPOSED UPON IN NORTH DAKOTA
