How can you say that when your baby girl loves that movie SO much?

 

 

My mother- in- law is under five feet...I thinks she's around the 4 foot 3 inch mark...does that count as a midget?

You have my sympathy about the baby boy but at least there's pop tarts and dialogue flying. I haven't seen the stepdaughter since Christmas when her and her father (my hubby) got in a shouting match and somehow I was to blame for whatever her problem was (even though I wasn't in the room at the time and I've been there to welcome her in every time time her mother has kicked her out of the house).

It should be your house , your rules but teenagers are NEVER simple. My nephew is living at my sister- in- law's mother's house after he called his mother the "C" world and assaulted his grandfather (he just turned 15). I know it probably doesn't make you feel better to know that most teenagers are a handful but maybe you can take some hope from knowing that there is a channel of communication open even if it seems fraught with flying pastries and errant laundry.

Wow Indigo....if I ever managed to get divorced (just a dream I'm afraid), my oldest would be just like yours in a few years, I KNOW it.  We knock heads something fierce.  I vote for living with Dad awhile if it's possible.  You can only do so much and the rest is in God's hands.  Therapy is good - I guess.....however....currently our therapist is giving my son the vague impression he has more power in this house than any child should.  I don't think the therapist is wrong or bad....I think my son only hears what he wants to take away from their chats right now....so...you know...*throwing hands up in the air*.  Do the best you can and keep your sanity by whatever means necessary.  (((big hugs)))

*Oh, and the "sex" thing....it was nothing....just was letting everyone know I didn't get my UTI from sex....it's from a kidney stone  (don't want anybody thinking me and my husband actual do it....*snickering & rolling eyes*).  Sassy just gave it a life of it's own.  lol

Well...maybe he should just close his door.....or does your cats know to open the door?  :)  Poor cats...gets the blame for everything, huh?  Hope you have a good weekend!

Well, when I was at home, I got a healthy dose of 'as long as you live under my roof,' which didn't do much in the respect department.  But, hey, it's worth a try!  I would tell son it's him or the cats, but then he might go out into the night again!

Good luck, Indigo......I do so feel your pain!

If I close the door to my room... I hear a thumpa..thumpa..thumpa.. and the chipping of the bottom of the door.  Morpheus preferres his doors open.. thank you very much!  So therefore, it's easier to sleep with claws in my feet.

As for the kid... take it one minute at a time...eventually he'll grow up.  My Neice finally thanked me for the difference I made in her life.  And she said that she's surprised that I didn't kill her. I cried. I'm so proud of her.

Anyhow, have a good weekend.  Take your son on a roadtrip!  He'll wonder where you're going to drop him off!

KAT????? You don't like antique furniture??????? (Loads up a trailer to go take all that nasty antique furniture off of Kat's hands...) LMAO Steph

Ok, I have a daughter who's a very light sleeper, so, she has a small fan running in her room for noise cover (cough, mom'ssnoring, cough) AND she closes her door, because the Cats wake her up if they are in her room.... sooooo, why doesn't he just close his door?

The attitude and problems, I'm sorry Indi, I have no answer, my younger son has added gray hairs and cut years from my life expectancy. I keep trying to remind myself, I need him to know that I love him no matter what, but that I do not condone or approve of his actions. Your ex is full of it... don't antagonize him indeed. The kid is a teen,... all you have to do is be breathing to antagonize them! He really should step up to the plate, but I kinda get the idea that won't happen. Remember you aren't alone, lots of us are going through the same crap with our kids, and have NO idea what to do.... and that we luv ya! BIG HUGS, Steph

I can't believe someone called the Oompa-Loompa's creepy!  I loved those guys.

 

I don't have any advice for you, Indigo.  Maybe he should go live with his father for a little while.

It could be worse.  It could be a daughter. . . .

I know what you mean about midgets.  That creepy oompa-loompa vibe.

 

And thanks for the perspective(re: your comment).  That which you described is exactly my goal, so I shall now hop on my short horse and get back on that path.

 

Here on our local radio, I hear commercials for a guy offering a product or service (it's a little vague as to what it is exactly) which guarrantees to get your kid in line, no matter what the problem.  Whatever could it possibly be?  From his voice, the guy sounds like what he offers is somewhere between intimidation, severe beatings, and a shock collar.

 

I highly recopmmend the shock collar.

An opportunity missed.

 

Just two days ago a new kitten was brought home.    It could have been one of yours!  Hmmppfft!

 

 

:p

 

Hahaha! "get off your short horse..." I could look for a million years and never find another appropriat sentence to use that marvelous phrase in! I LOVE IT!

 

Oh, and it's nice to know that there are flying poptarts in other nice people's houses too. Do you ever see any flying Eggo's though?

and the cats....they'll settle down in a few years.

1. midgets

2. retards

3. antique furniture

 

The kid, I dunno know with two military trained parents looks like he be getting his ass kicked on a regular basis just for fun.
