My mother is driving me nuts!!! How would you handle this?

  • Posted on May 3, 2011 at 9:23 pm

Deep breath, count to ten Katie.
God she drives me mad!!! My mum (I am 32 and married with 3 children & work part time just so you know) likes a drink shall we say.
We don’t live near each other (thankfully) and this week she has ahad a week off work, does she come to see me and the girls? No she sits in doors drinking. I don’t take the children to her house because she insists on smoking in the very small house (and drinking) and i don’t want the girls breathing in the smoke and it makes all of our clothes & hair smell. Anyway’s my mum likes taking my oldest who is 6 to the ttheatre to see various musicals – that is the only time she does anything for the children or even sees my daughter.
Now, she rang during the week (she had been drinking) and was going on about wether Abbi would want to go & see joseph or the sound of music I said i would ask her later as it was tea time. Mum rang again last night but whilst we were talking my daughter had a bit of a tantrum over something & spoke to me quite abruptly i dealt with her whilst mum was still on the phone listening but once i had finished sorting out my daughter my mum went into one “thats it i’m not taking her anywhere, she can’t talk to you like that” etc etc so i said “ok don’t then” and told her i had to go. She rang again yesterday but i was to busy to talk on the phone & forgot to call her back.
She just called me. MUM: “you didn’t call me back about the tickets”
ME: “what tickets, you said you weren’t going” MUM: “no I didn’t”
She had no memory of it & then after i repeated the conversation she said that she was joking well she was not & obviously didn’t remember.
So I told her not to book any tickets (when i spoke to my daughter she said she didn’t want to go but so far I haven’t found oout why) I told her lets get xmas out of the way before we start booking theatre tickets for next year. And she got all moody & silent on me & said “well fine then hope you have a nice day goodbye” and off she went (she has been drinking)
What do I do?
P.s thanks for letting me rant I can’t speak to anybody else about her. I don’t want to hurt her feelings but she is driving me mad.

Proof the World is nuts – Ratw 1 to 10?

  • Posted on November 8, 2010 at 9:26 pm

In Lebanon , men are legally allowed to have sex with
animals, but the animals must be female. Having sexual
relations with a male animal is punishable by death.
(Like THAT makes sense.)

In Bahrain , a male doctor may legally examine a
woman’s genitals, but is prohibited from looking
directly at them during the examination. He may only
see their reflection in a mirror.
(Do they look different reversed?)

Muslims are banned from looking at the genitals of a
corpse. This also applies to undertakers. The sex organs
of the deceased must be covered with a brick or piece of
wood at all times. (A brick?)

The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is
decapitation. (Much worse than ‘going blind!’)

There are men in Guam whose full-time job is to travel
the countryside and deflower young virgins, who pay
them for the privilege of having sex for the first time.
Reason: under Guam law, it is expressly forbidden for
virgins to marry.

(Let’s just think for a minute; is there
any job anywhere else in the world that even comes
close to this?)

In Hong Kong , a betrayed wife is legally allowed to
kill her adulterous husband, but may only do so with
her bare hands. The husband’s illicit lover, on the other hand, may be
killed in any manner desired.

(Ah! Justice!)

Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool – UK
but only in tropical fish stores. (But of course!)

In Cal, Columbia a woman may only have sex with
her husband, and the first time this happens, her
mother must be in the room to witness the act.
(Makes one shudder at the thought.)

In Santa Cruz, Bolivia , it is illegal for a man to have
sex with a woman and her daughter at the same time.
(I presume this was such a huge problem that
they had to pass this law?)

In Maryland , it is illegal to sell condoms from vending
machines with one exception: Prophylactics may be
dispensed from a vending machine only in places where
alcoholic beverages are sold for consumption on the
premises.’
(Is this a great country or what? Well, not as great as Guam !)

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an
hour. (Who volunteers for these tests?)

The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30
times its own weight and always falls over on its right
side when intoxicated. (From drinking little bottles of???)

(Did our government pay for this research??)

Butterflies taste with their feet.
(Ah, geez.)

An ostrich’s eye is bigger than its brain.
(I know some people like that.)

Starfish don’t have brains.
(I know some people like that, too.)

And, the best for last?

Turtles can breathe through their butts.
(And I thought I had bad breath in the morning!)

Thank you all for reading this, if you need to reach me
in the future. I will be in Guam !!!!!!

Help…Neighbor Driving Us Nuts?

  • Posted on October 25, 2010 at 5:23 am

I rent a duplex with my husband and 2 children. My neighbor is driving us nuts and I don’t know if I have any recourse to get her to stop. We moved in about 2 and a half years ago. The first conversation I had with her she told me in explicit detail about her sex life. I decided that this was not someone I wanted to be associated with too closely and kept our relationship to “hi, how are you?”. When we moved in it was only her and her daughter who lived there and we suspect she is on Section 8. Our landlord has a lot of section 8 housing around town. The first incident was when she decided to go drunk driving. She took out a parked car 5 house away and slammed into a tree. She left the scene of the accident and tried to hide her car in my back yard. But she left her bumper at the scene with her front license plate attached. My family and I awoke to 5 cop cars surrounding our house. About a year ago she met a man who I assume has become a boyfriend. One night I see things flying into my driveway. She is throwing things out of her second floor window and screaming at him outside. This goes on until 2:30 in the morning. He would speed away in his very loud HEMI truck and come back…and leave and come back. The next morning I woke up at 7:30 and yelled down the stairs to the kids and asked if they were ready for breakfast. My neighbor starts banging on the wall we share and told me “to shut the f**k up, I am trying to sleep”. I lost it. I was up until 2:30 listening to her and her boyfriend fight and now she is telling me to shut up. She called the landlord and said I threatened her (which I didn’t) and he called and told me if I can’t get along with her he was going to kick us both out. Her and I share a driveway. We each have 2 spots and there is one visitor spot. If 5 cars are parked it is a tight sqeeze. For the last week she has had her car, her boyfriends HEMI truck and his SUV parked in the driveway. My husband and I have to sqeeze our 2 Sebrings in and out of the driveway everyday. When we moved in we made sure it was ok to have our 10 lb. dog in the duplex. The landlord told us small dogs and cats are ok. NO BIG DOGS. He was real clear about this. Well it seems that the boyfriend has moved in his 150 black lab into the house too. I have to listen to this dog run up and down the stairs. And he takes the dog for walks not on a leash and does not pick up after it after it goes to the bathroom in the yard. My dog is on a leash each and every time she leaves this house and we have doggy bags attached to the leash so we never forget to pick up after her. My children play in the yard every single day and I have to warn them to watch out for dog messes. The lack of sleep from the noise of his truck that he revs on purpose, the dog and their fighting is killing me. My children start their summer activities at 6:30 in the morning and I really can not afford to lose much sleep. Is there a way I can find out if she is in fact on section 8 so I can report the boyfriend moving in, and if she isn’t what are my other options? My landlord seems less than helpful. I love living in this dulpex. It is 3 floors which is the perfect size for my family. It is affortable in this sucky ecomony and it is in the perfect neighborhood right across the street from my younger sons school. I don’t want to move until we save enough for a house, so what can I do??
I have in fact been keep written detail of the goings on over there. I have picture of the cars parked all over the driveway and of him walking the dog without a leash. My husband, who is usually a very laid back guy is starting to lose it too. I think we are going to go to the landlord with all of the pictures and the log we have. I just don’t think he will care much because he is getting his Section 8 money for he apartment.

Daughter, ADHD + Addict, Driving Us Nuts?

  • Posted on August 25, 2010 at 5:22 pm

daughter is 42 and has been on and off crack cocaine for 2 years. Xanax b4 that. Two months ago she left a close male friend and her ten year old son, “D”, at the circus after saying she was going to the restroom. We had to drive 550 miles to pick him up and she wasn’t there. D was with the male friend. Before third grade, she was on crack and
her bf’s relatives brought her son to our town where we kept him for 9 months. For second grade, her sister kept him. I’m losing track. Her father told me she drank all his vodka when visiting. I hate to say it, but she is living for the third time with a 79 yr old rich guy (he kicked her out twice and called the cops) just for his money. I know she has never wanted to work, even to support her son. I can’t say all that has happened but she LECTURES ME on “forgiveness” while Never saying she wants her son back. She doesn’t want to raise him and takes it for granted we will in our sixties. She is driving around in a Mercedes convertible with bleached out hair suggesting that I READ BOOKS ON HOW TO LIVE. Would YOU simply forgive this girl? She claims the boy as a dependent but we did ,too, so I don’t know what will happen there. Her son keeps going back to her, thinking she’s ok now, then she turns to drugs again. Even if she’s not on them, she gets very depressed and sleeps/cries a lot. This anger and resentment hurts me. My husband, not her real father, wants to move away from here to avoid contact w/her. Should we move? I get SO DOWN hearing her voice, hearing her “suggestions” on how I SHOULD CHANGE and we are drug/alcohol/tobacco free around here and love D so much. He wants to see her for brief periods of time; it stresses us out ’cause we know it stresses D out.
