Guess what I did today

Threw my daughter out of the truck. My tolerence level is O. If you want to be a bitch, fine , walk in the rain three miles, give you time to think. PC

She had a gathering at her house on Sunday, Grandaughter turned 13. I was actually invited. WooHoo. She didn't even talk to me. I had more conversation with a 6 month old infant. When me and the baby were done gibering to each other I got up and left, said nothing to anyone. Haven't spoken since. haha. Not really funny but amusing. Silly girl. I'm breathing. I hope she is gasping. aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh PC

We haven't talk since tuesday, life is good.

It will all come around. And when it does, I'll have something new to bitch about. Oh My. PC

So I'm not on your Zhit list Mike. None of us want a bad relationship with our children. It takes a lot and a long time to bring ourselves to throw our hands up in the air.

I am hoping, this temporary seperation will make her think.

Listen to the stories this generated. I am obviouslly not alone. This wasn't a plan, when I started this thread it was a frustration.

I thank all for listening. I hope that all recover.

Mike how's that little BABY. PC

I would beg to differ.

The human heart longs to be loved more than anything. Real love takes a real relationship. Real relationships take real work. We have our demons, our walls, our secrets, and we are afraid of getting real with people. Until we do, we don't really have what we want. We have what's easy.

Patty, it's about time you kicked her ass to the curb. Tough love is real love, and it sounds like she needs a heavy dose of it.

LOL Alba.

My daughter was a sweetheart at 14. 16 was a different story. When she rolled up with a drugged up, drunken boyfriend, all hell broke loose. We battled until the day she entered college. 4 years later, everything was fine again.

I did have a "spat" with here when she was about 28. I learned my lesson. Never again will we have a "serious" conversation. We now talk about the garden, the weather, etc. It's a very shallow relationship but that is what most people want. They don't want me in their business and I don't want them in mine. Only my wife gets that privilege.

Mine just turned 32, grandaughter picking up pace at 13. Alba what roof are you working on, can I join you. PC

Sometimes I feel like it's easier to go tear off and put on 100 squares by myself than deal with my 14 year old daughter.

Patty, You now have three men in love with you.. :blush:

Oh we all will Ottowa, life is life. Sometimes it sucks. PC

I haven't been thrown off yet, I guess that's good.

Hi Vickie & Steve, best friends in the world. PC

Patty, My girl is now 21, we had a spat ohhhh 6 months ago, and we haven't spoken since. Breathing room is alright, if space is what is called for so be it. She'll come around.

OS...it's a good thing I don't know where you live. :laugh: It'll all be OK. Time is the tamer.

I think it is genetic. With what you both said made me think of my own childhood. It must be a Mother Thing. My Dad was so serene and gentle, we never had a problem. My Mother was a witch in my eyes. Oh God I've turned into my Mother.

Thank you for the insight, I will do my best to keep it in mind.

OS as for the Male Hormones......I'm letting you off the hook this time. :laugh: PC

Jim, that is about it. My daughter is going to be 25 this Sunday and we get along fine too. She will talk to my wife, but my wife also gets the grief. I just talk to my girl about life and Linda has to take all the crap.

Sounds like Patty is getting plenty of shots of "Male Hormones" from the other posts. sorry Patty, I couldn't resist that one!

Patty, it takes two to Tango.

I watch my wife go through all kinds of gyrations regarding her relationship with our daughter. It makes me laugh because I don't have a single issue with her (my daughter). What's the difference? Its all how we choose to deal with the things we don't have any control over. My daughter is 36 and I know I'm never going to change her, so I don't try. I've got no battles with her...she is what she is and I am what I am and never the two shall meet.

We get along fine. My wife, on the other hand, can't let go of anything despite knowing that the daughter will never change. To me, it's a stupid waste of energy talking about it. I refuse to get into the emotional battles that my wife has carved out.

Maybe you need a few shots of male hormones.

Just tell the bill collectors that they have the wrong number. Then, hang up.

Ciak it is not like this all the time. She would be dead and me in jail. We both need a breather. It will turn out OK.

I am allowed to not like my children on occassion.

Please grant me that. Thank You all of you.
