Update. He came over Friday and did put stuff in the attic. Then my car was dead - he said it was just my usual battery cable being corroded so he fixed that. It was pouring so he then emptied the gutters. We then went to dinner, but took separate cars so he could go right home. Kinda disappointed about the 2 car thing but tried to be positive.

Still having trouble with both kids, spoke to him about it in length. He is going to talk to them for the millionth time about respecting me and doing their chores. I called my EAP program at work and am trying to set up a therapist for either the family or them. Both of them do not respect my authority unless I get physical and I don't want to rely on that you know. But all H has to do is raise his voice and they pee themselves, know what I mean? I think we have all been there as kids ourselves.
