  Hey Shelley,

  From what you have told me about your Mom, you would have to be possessed to act like her.

  I just thought of why I think I feel so yucky........We have a really busy household here, with the grandbaby and running a business too from here.....Well my son is off working and my daughter and Jada are out of town.......

  Well, I am on to everyone about keeping everything picked up and put away and clean.........here they are gone over night, the house is clean, did not take long to get in order and here I am alone.

  So, my mom was a constant nag about the house, to where we hated being there. I have never gotten to that extreme, and maybe that is where this is all coming from for me tonight.

  My kids are not gone cuz I bitched about the house, they are just gone to work and play.

  Thanks for the therapy gals!

  Lurking, because as a single full time dad raising a little girl, i need tips so as to help her grow into a strong woman.

  Avi,

  My son is raising his daughter, she is eight. She got to see her Mom for the first time in about a year on Christmas. Have not heard how that has gone. Her Mom has nothing to do with her and I worry how that will affect her.

  Avi, I get the distinct feeling that her having you as a dad is a strength in itself.

  If a child cannot have both parents, at least a stable sane single parent is better than none or worst yet an unstable parent (thinking about my hubby's crazy mother )

  You know Purps, I got to where I hated myself before I left my ex. Because of that very thing. I felt like I nagged all the time. But ya know, there is a fine line between living with lazy slobs and being a bitch. I mean, there needs to be way to expect responsibility from them, and preserve your own good nature. It's healthier for them if they learn to be responsible, and healthier for us if we calmly demand it without losing our personality.

  How that is done, hell if I know, I had to move out!!!

  I am on the verge of running away.

  Honestly, it's difficult to have three seperate families living in the same house.....although we are all the same family which makes it more difficult. We really do a good job. Now that is something my mother would have never NEVER done.
