the books must be at my parents place, but I can't go there now to look for them...if my dad gets what I have it would probably kill him.  He would most definitely end up hospitalized.  so going there to tear apart the house isn't an option.

hey...I bet that they are in a bag in the garage...

Good Luck Mel!

Good Luck Mel!

mom's garage that is.  I just called her to see if she has stumbled across them...

 

and I happened to mention how incredibly far behind I am.  she asked why-I am pretty sure that she wasn't actually asking.  

I said it is because there is way too much stress in my life right now.

she said...maybe right now isn't the right time for school.

 

I am now all upset...I don't want to put school off because my family has health issues...am I suppose to bide my time until my dad dies?  will  I ever actually get back to school?   

the stress is mostly rooted in my family's issues and the emotional burden that my mom passes on to me from the incredible amount of stress in her life...no one would want to be in her shoes.  

yes, getting behind in school further compounds this, but still...

Sometimes I wish that I was more like Teresa (my other sister) and could just move out of town.  I would probably be a lot healthier if I wasn't so tied up with my family's constant health nightmare.

Take Care

she has some outside help, but could definitely use more.  I realize that it is incredibly hard and unfair that she has to deal with all this...her life consists of taking care of my dad and sister - whenever she is awake, and then there are times when she is woken up because one of them needs help.  

I feel really really bad for her and try to help out as much as I can, but at the same time I need to make sure that I am taking care of myself as well.

Its a difficult balancing act... I more was thinking maybe she needs someone to talkto about it than can help her deal with the emotional side... because - wow I dont know how she does it!

my mom gave up on me ever cleaning my room fairly early on...but the worst that I left lying around was some dirty dishes and dirty clothes.

you could rarely see the carpet and there was stuff heaped at least 2 feet high everywhere.  And then there was the period that I pulled some boxes out from under the basement stairs and made myself a little cave.  I lived in there for several months.   it was really little...just big enough for me and a heap of pillows and blankets.

This was me as a teenager as well. And I'm still a slob to this day. But I knew that leaving notes saying "Bring it on B#tches" was definitely a bad idea with some serious hell to pay if I tried it. I so dread when my DD gets to be that age. She is so dramatic now.

i was a slob as well!

the note thing - nope wouldn't have dared

on the upside, you'll make it through!  i did

definitely...I think that she calls me the most.  her sharing her emotional burdens is what is the hardest for me to deal with...I realize what she is going through and it sucks beyond belief.  But I can't handle the additional stress of having her letting it all out/having melt-downs to me...I am too connected to the issues already.

I dont know what the situation is in the USA but is there someone she can talk to like a priest, counsellor type service or individual. 

Im sure its a terrible burden on her and someone who actually understands what she is going through and trained in this area might really make her life (and as a result yours) easier...

Not to diminish what you are all coping with right now but just to ease the emotional burden on a daily/weekly basis...I guess a mixture of being able to just talk AND getting practical advice...

It isnt my area but is there someone outside of everything that isa professional in this area you can go to for help? Maybe talk to about what you needemotionally...

Judi!!!

Take Blue out for a looonnggg ride.... you need a breather....

BTW.... you buy all of her clothes, right?
So technically their YOUR clothes, right?
Take all of her clothes away (okay, except for a few run down pieces, I mean why would you want those anyhow), tell her you thought it'd make it easier for her to clean her room...

Then be the nice concerned parent and ask her if she'd like to see a counselor for help, show your concern that you sure hope they don't have to admit her to a hospital, b/c her behavior surely isn't normal for someone... 

Not sure those ideas would work... but just some thought...

oh and BTW... I had a few science experiments in my room... but mainly Kool-Aid and cola in cups....

Mel....
I know going to your mom's is hard, and not medically recommended....
But is it possible she could just open the garage door for you, and you could head over with out ever entering the house....
Your school definitely should not suffer.... this is something you started knowing that you could get it done under the circumstances.

You can will persevere...  now focus and get some studying done
You can only control what happens in your life, everything else will just happen... so take control

GOOD LUCK!!!!

Good morning Nibbs.  Hope all is well.  Jen I got up at 6:30 and knocked out a bike ride.  A short one but a ride none the less.  Now I need to run at least a 10k today if I am going to have any chance at getting close to my goal next month at St. A's

QueenZipp - 2009-03-13 12:27 PM I HATE TEENAGERS!!!!...Especially my own!

uh oh...................

what's happening Judi?

Where should I start, Beth?

She refuses to clean the pig sty known as her room.  We gave her a deadline which has since passed.  John took away her cell phone.  She went on strike and refuses to do anything else.  We sent her to her room. She turned on the radio so loud you could hear it 3 counties over.  John cut the breaker off to her room.  She took the radio to the bathroom and blasted it.  John threatened to cut the plug.  She left nasty trash talking notes all over the house.  She also hid my car keys and it took me 20 minutes to find them today.  She is lying to me a bout that one and denies doing it.

I won' say what is all over her room, lets just say items of a personal nature that have been USED and belong in the trash.  And she is lying around on the effing couch!

how's she doing in school? bad stuff going on with friends?

nothing bad with the friends.  She thinks we disrespect her and treat her bad.  Oh really?  Leaving notes all over that say "bring it on b+tches" (literally) isn't disrespect?

We simply expect her to clean the filth she calls a room.  To do a couple of simple chores every week. 

If I did even a minute fraction of what she's throwing out I wouldn't be here to vuss about her nastiness!

  Not very fun times at your place.  so sorry.   could it be a hormone thing??? at least partially? 

I don't think that I ever was in quite that stage, but getting on something that regulated my cycle really helped reduce my bitchy phases.   

Great...I have three girls that 6 and a half years from now will be 17 15 and 12 all at the same time.  I can hardly wait!

I was definitely NOT like that as a kid, always a neat freak so her filth makes me sick!  Hopefully your daughters will have some neatness about them!
