Step Son Blues

So now the wife is contemplating moving her soon to be 20 year old son back in our home. This is the same son who turned his back on her, moved out to live with his Dad, and up until he lost his driver's license to a DUI, had almost nothing to do with her. This is also the same son who caused our family all kinds of problems and in fact played a major part in my own kids moving out to live with their mother. He is currently living with his grandfather and his grandfather has had enough and has told him he has to go. He had to move out of his dad's house as he couldn't get along with his step-mother, even though she busted her butt doing things for him including getting him enrolled in a special school as he was about to flunk out of normal high school. In other words, he is trouble from the word go. So anyway, she wants to move him back in with us so there can be even more problems. Even now, because I am resisting it and am trying to tell her it's a disaster waiting to happen, we are arguing and he hasn't even set foot in the house. Of course, there's always the possibility he won't want to move back in. But if I could get free rent and board, my meals cooked for me, my clothes washed and hung up, and never have to do anything to help out and could come and go as I pleased, no strings attached, would I turn it down? I don't think so.
