This is normally what I do but the thing is when it's about anything and everything it becomes grating it really turns into "can you just admit you did something wrong?"

He'll say something that I 100% know he's wrong about, because I know about the topic yet I just nod and say uh huh because if I remotely call him on his bullshit he won't admit he's wrong. I just feel like I'm going to lose it on him one day because this is an everyday thing of him just spouting off stupid bullshit and then acting like no one call tell him otherwise.
If you kick him out, you risk losing some/all of your relationship with your daughter for a while. She may eventually realize you were right, she may not. You just have to weigh if you're willing to take that risk or if you can just ignore him. A lot of young people are like that because they're immature. You just have to let them grow up.

Letting kids, even adult kids, walk all over you doesn't teach them anything other than how to be pretentious, self centered assholes. Tell your girlfriend that you see where she is coming from but if this dude doesn't learn some manners or how to compromise on even simple issues then it is going to be a lifetime of basically little more than indentured servitude for your daughter with this dude. Someone needs to bitch slap this dick head with a good dose of reality.
Yea I'm there with you, I think my girlfriend assumes he's going to take off with this kid is born because all of his actions say he's not wanting any part of this.

Maybe I spend too much time on the JustNo forums on Reddit, but I don't think he's your problem here. I think the problem is you don't have say what goes on in your own home and that's not ok. Home is supposed to be your sanctuary and yours is full of tension, from what sounds like a bunch of different issues. You've reached BEC status, which means Bitch Eating Crackers. BEC status is when literally everything a person does makes you f'ing furious, like 'Look at that bitch over there, eating crackers'. They need to go, regardless of who gets mad. Being so enmeshed with your own family can be really unhealthy and lead to longer-term issues.

BEC that is awesome.

I personally think he grates on me because his personality is a series of pet peeves of mine. It's like creating someone I know would irritate me. I try my best to deal with him because I don't think he's being a dick on purpose I think it's just who he is right now..My 19 year old son that is leaving for college in 3 months..that post sums up exactly how I feel about him though.

The real question is how many use more than 2?
I basically have 5. 3 monitors on my main machine (w/total of 9 virtual desktops), my laptop, and my phone sits on a stand next to my keyboard.
It is okay to have scripts running on two different computers? Just for clarification, two computers logged in to one mturk account. And what is a virtual desktop?

I guess at the end of all of this is, are adult children or kids who are becoming adults about the most difficult age range to deal with?

It's a shame this batch doesn't pay better because I would love it.
