So, this is my couch. I don't know where to begin. I am finding myself easily slipping into a depression again. I am staying in bed until midafternoon. I am doing just enough to get by. My oldest child, Erika is really pushing my buttons. I have told her since she moved back to call me before midnight if she is not coming home so we can lock the doors and turn out porchlight. Well, she did call last night but only because I called her raising hell for not calling the night before. She loaded her laundry in my washer and she was off again. She goes back to work tomorrow and I expect her to ask me for help then. Erika believes she should not have any chores just to stay at home. I ask she put up clean dishes that I wash. She resents putting up dishes and changing doggie pads. Those are her chores, but you would think she would rather pay me cash. geeeeez! My son, Zach says he is sick of me and Erika swapping jobs at one another and he wants to move out too. He is 15 and ain't going nowhere. Matter of fact, I have allowed his best friend to move into my home as that kids parents are divorcing and he has been left out as his parents went in different directions and thye allowed him to bring his stuff to my home and never even spoke with me first. I told them to give him money each week for whatever he needs and they don't have to pay me anything. Somedays I wonder why I even try......other days, my daughter can be my best friend. Just sucks that she is so much like me and such a smartass, like me. I don't take being on recieving end too well. =/ |

Cynthia .. It has to be very difficult raising teenagers and they are very good at pressing the buttons. Your son is going into full bloom in being a man and starting to spread his wings. That was a very kind gesture on your part allowing his friend to move in. I hope you see a different attitude with your son now that he has a male friend his age in your home. I am not sure fighting and arguing will change your daughters irresponsibilities. You have taught her to stand up for herself it sounds like lol.Little do they know you have given so much of your life for them. You may feel they don't appreciate you now but they will see and know they are loved. It is quite normal that the kids pay monthly for their food and some rent once they are working, it's part of learning responsibilities and you are helping them prepare for adulthood or that old bullet "reality". You must feel your walking on egg shells not wanting to upset the nest and their threats. Fighting is endless. Hang on dear friend. You know it won't be long until they grow up and they will thank you for all those hard times they gave you)= Take care of yourself in the mean time because you are very important to everyone around you.) Hugs, lorraine |

Cynthia, Good lord when i read your post i had to look twice to see who wrote it you see im go through the same in my house but i have many more to deal with... Out late and lights burn into the wee hours of the night and not a call then i finally fall off to sleep to here them raising through the house stomping up the stairs and yelling at each other so that desturbs my sleep and im up half the night while they sleep all damn day. Dishes huh good luck at that one i get my 10 yr old to do more. Suck up when they want something and like you said we are all buddies then but any other time its kiss my arse and then there was also a friend i let stay with me and what did i get a headache he wouldnt do sh-- either .. Unless i asked .. I didnt charge him either but i have to say he respecred me better than my own. I have gone and bought atleast 7 washer in the last year my future daughter inlaw loves to over load them and i have to pay.. And hubby forget it he is what you call an ornament another piece to dust off .. I know how you feel and i would be in bed all day to if i didnt get 5 children pawned off on me.. Hope this help you to let you know that your not the only one. And i do cheerish you as my friend. So anytime im here i do understand.. God BLess Joanne |

Well, here I sit unsure what to type out. I am having a decent day. Erika has finished painting my bathroom ceiling and it looks so clean again. Hope it can stay that way a few days. lol Been deep cleaning for special company coming tomorrow. Every winter i say I am going to spring clean and I end up cleaning in mid summer every year it seems. Guess I am a procrastinator.(sp) I do want you each to know you are very special to me and I have quickly grown very fond of you each and all. I sure am glad I wandered into this group a few minths ago. Can't imagine life before I met you ladies here.Although we would not recognize one another in line at Walmart, I have truly felt that I am bonding with you all and I appreciate you each and all. |
