Leave it alone and let then deal with it later

I have two that have left the house and one on her way out in a couple weeks. The first enlisted in the Marine Corps and intended to make a career of it. This time last year, he had negotiated an extension with orders to the 3/5 in California......then decided he was sick of the BS and was coming home to go to college on the GI Bill. So all his crap is coming back into the house along with his 220# and size 13 feet. Middle kid is going back to college for his senior year and intends to transition directly from there when he gets employed. We are not touching anything. Have no reason to. When they are out on their own eventually, they can handle it. We are in no hurry.

Btw the oldest sent letters to his siblings from Parris Island. "If you touch my stuff, I'll kill you."
