Said special prayers for you Connie last night. I knew you needed to clear the air with your daughter. When we moved in with our daughter and Gkids to help them thru their divorce aftermath, I wish we had laid down the rules in writing!!! I never expected her reaction to US doing stuff...like the laundry, dishes, cleaning, etc. She thought we were questioning her ability to function for Gods sake when we did things. We did things to keep us busy...I mean we were mostly house bound...one room bound almost. She had her own business and 2 kids. She ran around like a banshee and we were supposed to jus****ch TV and veg. NO thank you. The things we did we wanted to do and they made her crazy and mad. Accepting the $$$$ we gave her was OK, just not the help. Too strange and made us feel unwanted. Hoping that you can clear the air and come up with a plan of balance. We didn't mind watching the Gkids or being asked to do whatever, just didn't expect being resented.
Monica......I am sorry you were treated so badly. That has to hurt!! I know I am hurting today.
The kids never wanted to listen to us when they were young...you know teenagers! Now they think we have no feelings and no right to our opinions. We are just supposed to sit quietly and wait for instructions.
I too do the cleaning and things because I CAN'T sit on my butt either. I feel like if I get it done there is more time for Jamie to spend with the kids.
I want to be here for my grandchildren but I wish I would have listened to my instincts and got my own place.....just coming here when needed.
I am just not sure what will happen next.....kind of put off.
Thanks for caring and understanding.
Hugs and love to you....connie d

I know I could never live with anyone from my family ever again. I have spent time with my brother and by the end of that time, I was ready to kill him. Same with my mom. I don't know how my brother manages living with my mom. I am not meant to live with anyone. I like my space.
Not giving advice, but maybe you ought to consider getting your own place. (You said it first.)
But it's good you cleared the air now rather than later. Less hurt feelings.

Hi Carla and my OFF family:
I'm getting on here really late. It's after 2 p.m. I've been up since 11 a.m. but it took me awhile to get through 76 emails this afternoon. I slept a blissful 12 hours last night ... once I got to sleep ... took a bit but wow, was it wonderful!
I have today off again so I am really vegging today. I got a little bit done yesterday. Laundry, unpacked my new food processor, repacked the broken one to send back, had my dental appointment, took out garbage ... see, I wasn't such a slug yesterday.
The dentist found a broken tooth on the top left rear tooth that also has a cavity. It's why my jaw hurts and I now need a crown there. It will cost me $1,115, of which I have to put down 10 percent to schedule, then pay the rest when the work is done. Actually, I'll only have to pay about $690, but still... not something I have right now. But if I allow this to go, it will turn into worse ... and as it turns out, I may still need a root canal. So I guess I'll have to suck it up and find the money.
Carla, I agree, Starbucks would be a good job for you. They pay benefits, too. I've been telling my brother to apply there. You don't have the back and knee problems I do, so it's not an issue standing for long periods of time.
Wi**** would rain here ... it's dry as dust and really hot ... hit 100 again and feels like 108. So I'm staying inside. Even the pool is too hot.
Well, hope everyone has a good day. I'm going to watch the All-
Star game tonight.
