Well, I'm guessing he got that stubborness from someone, so it may take awhile.

I see that she didn't offer to have him move in with *her* huh? Does he have a job besides the band?

The coffee went well and we're all back on speaking terms again. Apart from my mum that is, she's still upset about Kayliegh's behaviour and to tell you the truth I'm not sure she's ever likely to forgive her, she's getting very set in her ways, but who knows what will happen in the future. I just think for the moment it's best to leave well enough alone and not stress her unduly. :shrug:

You may find that your situation improves after a good cooling off period too Squiggy. I really do believe that some families just aren't meant to live together, especially when like my own there are some very forceful personalities, and that they're better friends when they have their own homes. My sister and I became much closer that way. :)
 
My mom kicked my sister and I out in our early 20's after coming home from vacation to find the house in relative disarray.

It happened for a few reasons. My sister and I had left before they got home (we had expected them hours before) so when she got home, there was no one there. She didn't know that my brother, his wife and their daughter had been there between the time we left and she got home and he left dirty pots in the kitchen and things like that. He had also let the dog in and didn't let him back outside before he left and the dog had pooped on the floor.

Anyway, Mom normally wouldn't have overreacted but she was going through menopause and made a snap decision. She told us to come and get our stuff and get out, which we did, and within two weeks she regretted it. But we refused to come back. My sister lived with her boyfriend and wound up marrying him and I lived with my best friend Bobbi (who my mother already resented) and then moved to Florida. I remember having one talk about it afterwards, a short conversation, but nothing significant.

I don't think our current relationship suffers at all because of that now. In my case though I was a really good kid (Mom always says so every chance she gets) and although I probably could have made the house a little bit cleaner before she got home, I wasn't completely at fault or taking advantage. Time (and hopefully more maturity) helps to get past stuff like that, I hope it works out the same way for you Joe. :)
 
Aunty, I'm glad that situation is improving. :D

gf, he has no job. He was supposed to start one Monday morning and didn't...which increased the tensions considerably... As for his mom, if I ever told that story, I'd be to embarrassed to ever return to the boards.

:(
 
:(

Sorry sweetie but it still sounds (more than ever) that you did the right thing. How's the younger one dealing? Does he work and kick in to help you with bills and stuff?

And I'm convinced that men go through their own "time of the month" so why not menopause too? Call it a mid-life crisis. :D
 
The younger one returns to work next week. He had quit (at his brother's request) to dedicate himself to the music full time and make this trip to the left coast...Luckily, he is a responsible worker and his boss told him he could come back whenever he wanted... :headbang:
 
ooooooh I knew one son was in the band, I didn't know both. That's a little tricky, he's going to get caught in the middle in all this. Sounds like he knows how to be an individual somewhat and do what's right. :)

I hope you don't really feel that way. Now if you don't want to talk about it, that's cool. But, I'd hope by now you know we aren't going to judge you for that. You are way too cool for that. Now, if you chopped her up in pieces and threw her in the Hudson.... Well, there would probably still be a few of us that would stand behind you. :D
 
K++ to Squiggs... that is the best thing that could've ever happened to him at this point. When he grows up and realizes that too, that's when he'll thank you for it. In the mean time, I'll thank you on his behalf.
 
You did the right thing, Squiggs. My aunt is in her 40s and moved back in with my grandparents. She never learned to do things on her own. Trust me, you don't want a 40ish year old kid living with you.

My poor grandparents. They finally made her move out though, and although our family ties with them aren't as strong as before, it's their loss.
 
Nixy, there's a difference between kids staying at home while furthering their education, and kids living at home with no intention of anything else. And expecting the wench to be welcome ... How many times did you drop him on his head?
 
I realize that Prof, that is what I was saying. I think it's ok if they are trying to make something of themselves. Auntie made it seem like once you reach a certain age (late teens, early twenties I believe she said) you should have to leave home.

For the record, to prevent confusion, I COMPLETELY think Squiggs did the right thing.
 
I left home when I was 18 and 2 months, not because I had to but because I wanted to. My mother wanted me to stay at home and train as a nurse here in Colchester... no fear... I wanted my freedom. :bolt:

I've only been back to stay twice... for 3 months at the end of my training while I made up my mind which job to take and for 3 weeks when I was unable to walk after my accident... as soon as I could use the crutches I was off! I'm not really sure who that says the most about... ?( Hmmm... or am I? :D

I guess it runs in the family... my dad left home at 16 and my mum left her home at 15 and her country at 17 on the way to Cincinetti, Ohio... she just stopped off here to wait for her visa... both had stepmothers... :shrug:
