Thanks Howie.never having kids I knew I'd be missing out on things;now I see what :holloween:
Sounds very familiar to me..... whats up with this generation thinking mom and dad owe them for the rest of their lives ????Okay, so the revolving door is still spinning...can't seem to get rid of these damn kids. 35 year old son, poster-boy for bi-polarism, is back home permanently. 26 year old daughter is at the house 2 hours a day, 7 days a week and lives 1/2 a mile a way, so can't keep HER away, and the 23 year old just broke up with her husband of 4 years and has moved all her shit back home...and is already seriously dating ANOTHER loser with no car, no job, no prospects. Sound familiar to anyone?
So, this past weekend, mom and the youngest get into a big shouting match. Seems the youngest "loaned" her car to her new boyfriend. Mom finds out and is PISSED! See, Mom ponied up the money to get the girl the car, plus we're paying her insurance, so Mom feels like it's HER car and the girl has no business loaning it to someone, who as far as we're concerned, is a complete stranger.
This shouting match goes on for about an hour, both women are at the verge of tears from the spent emotions, and nothing is being solved, so "Dad" steps in with a few words of wisdom.
I stick my big nose in the middle (just to quiet things down so I can watch NFL) and make them stop. I ask Mom why this bothers her so much. Daughter must think I'm on her side, because she gets a big, smug look on her face and puffs up like a blowfish. Mom stumbles, stutters, can't find the words and daughter prepares to pounce.
Here's where "Dad" steps in it...I look at Mom right in the face and tell her "What's the big deal with her letting Eddie (the new slacker) use her car? She lets him use her vagina all the time and you haven't said a word!"
They're STILL not speaking to me. I'm loving the silence!
Just the brown, wrinkled one.Howie, just curious. Do you sleep with one eye open?

Because their parents raise them that way. I see it every day at work......... whats up with this generation thinking mom and dad owe them for the rest of their lives ????
No...not a joke.RH - I thought that was a joke. Your first post, that is. I guess not :dribble:
Sitting here at the office right now, closing down things, getting ready to ride. 2 more hours of daylight left. Think I might take a little longer getting home than usual.I'm sorry for your trouble. Domestic s**t is a major buzz-kill
Lucky You!!Am I ever glad I don't have kids.
In my case, it's Mom who raised them that way. She and I divorced when our son was 5. She remarried a couple years later and married a true Ricardo Cabeza...non-working drunk. Stayed with him for 18 years before finally kicking his ass out. Now, I'M the lucky guy putting up with her and her kids and their shit.Because their parents raise them that way.

See if I've got this right, Howie, 'cause I think we're homing in on the problem, and potentially, there's a solution in the sanatorium if we can establish a baseline commitment scenario. (Where's SPU when you need him?) Manatee sex is probably a partial qualifier, so lets look into what else might serve to land you a more peaceful housing circumstance.In my case, it's Mom who raised them that way.

Not soon enough...then I could, with good conscience, GTF outta here and find me a little one room apartment (with garage) for my two bikes, car and computer. I'd be happy.[snippity-doo-dah, snippity-day]
When is Mr. Cabeza moving in?
This one took a little longer to answer...had to think about it....And then, lastly -- please explain what exactly you have gotten, or are getting out of the remarriage and housing arrangements.
Oh yeah, yeah -- absolutely. They've really been putting the pressure on about that kinda thing down there since that woman getting busted cavorting with Manatees made headlines, huh?P.S., that Manatee Sex thing is all a put-up job by some Michigan maniac. You know that, don't you???
OUCH! I was waiting for it, I did not know who would have the courage to say it.I don't know RH. I am having trouble feeling sympathy for you. Women are much like motorcycles in that 'Stupid Hurts'. Seems to me you got yourself in this situation by demonstrating some serious lack of judgement and you, and nobody else, are the only one that can fix it. Not that it will be easy, but where do you see yourself in 5 years?
I don't care who you are...that thar is funny chit. :lol:Yeah, show that manatee who wears the pants in the house.
