  i have a teenage daughter and she is very lazy.

  we have to get on her constantly to get her room clean, when asked about her progress, her answer is always"i am working on it".

  then when we check, it is usually worse than the day before.

  I have a teenage daughter and she is VERY lazy. We have to get on her constantly to get her room clean, when asked about her progress, her answer is always"I am working on it". Then when we check, it is usually worse than the day before. We have removed all video games, t.v.'s and even books, but still no progress. I went through her clothing with her and made her get rid of 3/4 of her clothes because she threw them all over the floor and I was sick of washing clean clothes. She takes it upon herself to go to the swimming pool all day and not call and tell us where she is. My hubby works 7 days and I work 5 very long and physical days. What can we do? Any suggestions would be helpful. Grounding doesn't work, taking away priveledges don't work and she just ignores them most the time cause there is nobody home during the day to moniter. She leaves empty pop cans everywhere, she is just becoming very disrespectful and over sloppy. We have tried to reason with her, but it just goes in one ear and out the other. We have tried yelling...same thing. Nothing is working here. Anyone have any suggestions here? I have even gone to the extreme measure of threatening her with Kingdom hall attendance, but I can't wish that hell on anyone, plus it would just backfire anyway...lol.

  She is too young to get a job yet, and although I could take her with me to work, she would hold up my schedule so I would have to work even later. I have no family or friends close by to help out, plus they all work as well.

  Please, if anyone out there wants to write a nasty comment, pleaese don't. I have raised this girl on my own for the past 8 years with no child support or assistance. This has happened suddenly over the past few months, just need some input from experienced parents out there.

  Thanks!!!!

  i was able to totally rework my kitchen about 5 years ago.

  with limited funds we found premade cabinets very cheap.

  we made them fit.

  Tile is an awesome alternative here. If you have a curve to the corner of your countertops just take a skilsaw and cut them flat and flush. I did this to my old laminate countertops and they look spectacular. You can do a simple pattern or get real funky and try a mosaic pattern. Plus, the cost is about a third of granite countertops.

  when i did janitorial work, i cleaned a law office.

  one night, as the owners were leaving, they told me that one of the attorney's, by the name of bill, was leaving to work for a different firm.

  for the next couple of months, though, i kept seeing this attorney there, working.

  I was in an empty townhome today painting, and kept getting the feeling of someone watching me or standing right behind me. Plus, the doors kept opening and shutting themselves... no breeze was going through. Kinda weird

  update on my divorce situation

  by depressed in

  i'm shocked!

  if you remember my experience, in a nutshell, basically my ex-bethelite ex pioneer husband cheated on me with an older "worldly woman" from his job and left me suddenly.

  i had no idea that we had trouble with our marriage, however, when i discovered the love letters from the other woman, he moved out, and a week after that, i received divorce papers.

  Depressed,

  I have been where you are now, and I KNOW your pain and also still feel the pain as I read through the posts. I have been in your situation, where revenge and enlightening his family and freinds was my only goal in life. Then, one day I woke up. The only one I was hurting was myself. Honey, you need to move on and let go. Get a good worldly friend to go out with and get smashed and dance the night away. Forget them!!!! Believe her when she writes that they all sit and laugh about you...cause guess what...THEY ARE!!!! I am only saying this, cause I lived in your shoes for a year myself with my ex and his family. If she sends e-mail, copy them, file them for your lawyer and delete them. Do not forward anymore to his family. Do not talk to him or his family. Any further communication can be through your lawyer. Time to get tough here girley and stop being the victim.Do not allow yourself to be the victim anymore, or to be made the fool.

  Written with love and compassion, not to be hurtful,

  i have made a decision.

  a very difficult one, indeed.. i'm going back to the truth.

  i figure i can probably get 10-15 hours of service in a month and be appointed an ms in about 3 years and elder about 3 years after that.. if i can also pioneer, i'm sure that will speed up the process.
