OK- so when do I say something or ........do I just keep my big mouth shut? My 27 year old step son and his girlfriend just moved into a house. It has only been 2 weeks but they have done very little. Well, that is harsh. They did prime two walls in the living room, set up most of the kitchen, and of course, they went out and bought a 60" (I am not kidding) TV with surround sound and that is hooked up. But that is about it. Boxes are stacked in the living room. Clothes are strewn every where.

Do I say something to my stepson? I think each of them should be responsible for putting stuff away and doing household chores like cooking and cleaning, etc. Should I say, "Hey, step up to the plate and help your girlfriend get this place cleaned up and get the painting done"? Or do I just do nothing? My husband would faint if he saw the place. He would not be very kind if he saw the house in its present condition.

I have never lived with either of them so I do not know if they are both slobs or just one is the culprit.
