11 years and your still living on his land

and talking about moving on to your mothers land. Here's a thought, buy land from him, or buy land from her and then its YOUR land. Better yet, move away completely and stand on your own two feet.

    Living in la-la land
    I cannot believe in this time that anyone would leave their door open for anyone to enter. It does not seem like you either hear/read the news or know about things that go on around your little world. Why invite danger by opening your door to the world? In my town some children molested by strangers coming into their rooms in the middle of the night- oh by the way, not only their doors left open but some windows not locked of a night. I read a post on here where a man showed up in one persons home through their garage door. My home is just as secure as I can get it. I love and cherish my life, my hubby's and my pets as well. What is someone other than someone you know comes in 1 day- then what? Good luck with a dangerous situation.
    Living in la-la land
    NM
    Been with my man for 16 years, living together 8..

    I have been living that life for the last 2 years. Very familiar story. SM

    I have two kids at home and a baby on the way.  My husband keeps gettign laid of jobs due to slow business  Just got word that after Christmas he will be laid off again.  As it is, we can barely afford to feed the family... so dont know what we will do come January when we lose his income.


    There are no jobs for him to apply to.  We do not qualify for unemployment for some reason....


    And its not like we are lazy or bad people.  All we do is work.  I work 3 different jobs for 3 different MT companies.  I wake up 2 hours before the kids go to school, work while they are in school, and even have to make up soem time at nigth when everyone is sleeping.  That in addition to my husband's job...  we can barely, and I mean barely make it...


    Then I spend the rest of my free time cleaning the house, doing dishes, laundry, errands, bills, homework with the kids.  Im pregnant and should be getting more rest.  HA!!  What a joke.


    And I know all about the bank fees.  We pay probably 100-200 a month in fees becuase when you live paycheck to paycheck it is just something that happens..  Sorry folks...  Its not about being good a balancing your checkbook... not in these times.  We have to play russian roulette with the monies sometimes.


    My husband and myself do not have insurnace.  I do now through Medicade because I am pregnant.  We were hoping to drop the Medicaid when my husband's insurance kicked in... but he got laid off before that happened.  My kids have CHIP, so that is good...  But I am down to my last pair of contacts and I havent taken them out in 2 months because I do not have the extra 100 dollars to make an appt and then 50 for the contacts.


    The school hits us up for $$$ every week for this, that, and the other thing... which all that does is take food off our plates.  If one of my kids loses a shoe or needs a winter jacket, etc.... it puts us out.


    Not to mention on top of all of that...  My brother-in-law was in a car accident in a car he bought from my husband, but never took the time to put it in his name, and now it is back on us.  We have 30 days to come up with 4000 dollars or my they take my husband's license away.  Sounds crazy huh?  Lawyers say they cannot do that... but they say they can...(the insurance company), but who has money to pay the lawyer for the help??  Not us.


    I could go on and on and on and on and on and on.. LIke how it is Christmas, which is hard enough, but on Dec 31st it is my daughter's b-day and then just 3 weeks later it is my other daughter's birthday...  How I am going to give them a nice birthday is beyond me...


    Anyway, you are not alone!!!!!  Of course I have never thought about suicide.  That is not an option for me and I cant imagine ever would be... 


    If you think that way, you need some medication and therapy real quick!!!!!!  Other than that, what is the worst that can happen?  There has got to be help somewhere... food stamps???  I am going to look into them myself...  I might have to skip on paying rent this month...  and hope the landlord understands... 


    Come January 20th, I hope some good things start to happen and we can be on the road to a brighter future... but until then... we have to ride it out somehow.  How, I dont know.  I just take every day at a time... 


    And this morning, I cried during my first hour of typing... Typing through the tears.. so you are not alone there either.


    I'm telling you after years of living with the same family - they figure things out! sm
    For example, he knows that if I am going somewhere with the kids, he probably can't go, but if he sees that I am alone and pick up my keys, he heads for the door with that look in his eyes! It's like he is trying his best to convey a telepathic message - "I want to go!!"
    Wow - you would die in Baltimore - land of the Hon
    n/m
    Um, he approached her about the land
    he physically went over there to pay the rent. She made it a point to stay away apparently. So who is chasing who here? LOL :)
    I got one to Land's End but can't find anything I like.
    And boy, are their prices expensive. I'll be lucky to find one shirt or one pair of pants. We also got gift cards to Home Depot and Cabela's. Spent the Home Depot one already so I now have new tile in the bathroom. Haven't even looked at Cabela's yet.
    We just got rid of our line land and use only cells now. nm
    x
    Got rid of our land line this summer.
    I just added another cell number to my plan too so the kids can take one when they go to practice, friends houses, etc.
    About your fellow land-dweller
    She could easily put up her own mail box right next to yours. As long as she clearly labels it with her name, the postal carrier will separate your mail from hers. That's how theya do it out here in my neck o' the woods anyhows....

    (Can you tell I absolutely ADORE being a redneck? LOL!)
    Eviction. Foreclosure. Are you still in the trailer? Do you rent the land?
    x
    My cell is clearer & more reliable than my land line,
    I realize we still need those 2 things - the P.O. & land phone lines, but you'd think that by now the two would be a whole lot BETTER than they are.
    I MEANT "BF" (boyfriend), not BP! egads... TYPO-LAND!
    .
    I used to have a friend that called them land torpedos. I always thought they were cute. nm
    x
    If I got rid of my land line, how on earth would I be able to call my cell to find it!
    LOL! I misplace my cell all the time. I use my land line to call my cell so that I can find it.
    My friend has you beat... she paid $35,000 for a small piece of land
    and a home 30 years ago; she just sold it for $375,000, clear profit; she and her DH paid it off last year and now are reaping the benefits.
    Land's End is good for suits. Don't know if you can access their swimwear at this time of year
    s
    Even higher bill w/3 cells & a land line, but sound quality & customer service are good.
    s
    Buy a home of my own - not a palace, but more of a smallish home on a large piece of land. (nm)
    .
    Is he still living?
    I heard leopards don’t change their spots.
    We have been living in ...
    the me me me society where everything is now now now. DH and me cut up credit cards and paid off debt for the last 3-4 years instead of remodeling the house, buying new clothes/cars/toys.

    I live in a $60,000 house that many people turned their nose up at because it wasn't an McMansion. Well we are about two years from paying it off without any help from anyone and those that turned their nose up at us are in foreclosure right now.

    I had a feeling the stock market was going to crater - just didn't know how bad. I'm doing everything I can to keep my job and make the most of it. Now is not the time to go job-hopping.

    Time for folks to live within their means and businesses/corporations need to realize that slow and steady growth isn't bad - its better then the alternative of not even being in business.

    Finally I think we need to STOP rescuing this fat cats that make these stupid decisions that bankrupt these companies and put 1000's out of work. Make them return their golden parachutes and live like the common man. Same goes for salaries for actors/actresses and sports figures.
    Yes, shows are something we could do, living
    where we do. It's not far to go, maybe 12 miles across town.

    And thank you very much. One thing we don't want to do is get Sasha's nose out of joint, LOL.
    Your living your dream like never before?
    ?? That doesn't make sense.
    funerals are for the living
    nothing done to the body is going to affect whether she 'rests in peace'. Let the mother bury HER dead where SHE wants. She is the legal next of kin.

    p.s. her character isn't like too bad if she was a cop so long. don't believe everything the way the media slants it.
    You might consider doing the living room
    (or whatever the fanciest room is) in same color but with a special border tile worked in to set that room off.

    Just a thought.
    Living in the country is so...
    enjoyable.  We have two neighbors and that is about it.  One neighbor is across the pond from us and the other neighbor lives back behind a wooded area and we can't hardly see their place unless it is in the winter.  I don't think I'd like living right next door to someone else. 
    Living arrangements
    I don't have personal experience, just an opinion. I think you should remain in the community with the best school for her. If you are in an apt. now in that school district, stay. Don't go the mobile home root. Then if you can in a few years, get a condo or townhome in the same area. That way the friends she makes at school now will stay with her as she grows up and she will have continuity and stability. I would cross mobile homes off my list. JMO.
    Sexy men who are still living !
    Patrick Dempsey, Dennis Haysbert, Keifer Sutherland, Thorsten Kaye, Ryan Reynolds, Sam Elliott, Tom Selleck, Aidan Turner. Thorsten Kaye is the sexiest! Sam Elliott is second. Dennis Haysbert is third except Patrick Dempsey is tied for third with him! So many men! So little time.
    After 6 months of looking and living
    like a pauper I am now pretty happy in the new job I have. I am also behind on every bill in the house! Has anyone used a credit counseling service to help them with debt and paying off everything to get their credit back on track? I want to use a legitimate company and not worsen my situation more than it is. Thanks everyone.
    what's wrong with living
    with a 29-year-old? I was married with two kids, owned a house, etc. when I was 29. It is not like he is going to live with a 19 or 21-year-old who might not be that mature or responsible.


    Not if they are legally living here or if
    they have become citizens. That is why Carly could not compete 2 years ago when she made the top 24. Her paperwork had not yet gone through.
    Anyone out there living in Maine? SM

    An old boyfriend, who is now a minister lives in Bath, Maine. Can you tell me where it is located and something about it?  I would appreciate it. I was thinking of maybe visiting his church.


    what i think is there are too many people living
    what is good to one person, may not be to another but a free ride may be a lot of fun to some.

    i don't sit and worry about it.... i just think it is incredibly sad the way i've seen it work so well for someone who doesn't even deserve it and works so slow for someone who does.


    We are living in a sad world.
    //
    how ridiculous! I said living
    thing with a SOUL. Humans have souls. Oh i love my animals dearly, but they are not people, and i understand the difference. No, it cannot be twisted 1000 different ways, not accurately anyway. Human babies are innocents in God's eyes. But i doubt if you are a believer, thus the difference in understanding.
    My MIL is in an assisted living...
    I think it depends on location and what is available really.

    She lives in Salt Lake area and is in an assisted living, paid for through her Medicare/Medicaid and Social Security benefits. She has an apartment there and is wheelchair bound and they even let her have a cat. You should do some checking for her because there are places that will take them.

    I worked in an assisted living for a while here where I live and it was mostly for private pay. I think nowadays they do allow otherwise due to the need for it and it is cheaper than putting them in a nursing home.

    Once again, I would check on it. She will have to be evaluated of course to see if she meets the criteria for assisted living or if she needs to be in a long-term care. Prepare yourself for that one as well.
    Hmmmm. What does he do for a living?
    I'd be a little suspicious about selling drugs.
    Yay! We've been living vicariously through you. sm

    I'm really glad you had such a nice time!  What a bummer about that Pakistani doctor....pretty scary!


    Have a great day!  It's the last day of my pay period and I am soooo behind!!  Gotta work!  See ya!

    Every living breathing male does if they can.
    Only most don't codemn it. THAT is what I would have a problem with. :)
    Try living downstairs from them sometime..... Gaaaaa!

    I am living it presently, so I go by what they have done and told me.

    All living in my house have curfews.
    My youngest is 19 and lives at home. He has a curfew. He tried the now-that-I'm-18-I-don't-gotta-do-what-you-say stuff but I packed a WalMart bag with his deodorant and his stinky tennis shoes and took my house and car keys off his key ring and told him he couldn't live here if he didn't respect the rules.

    He wandered around with friends for a couple of hours then very apologetically came back and we haven't had any trouble since.

    You are not too hard. If she wants to make her own rules, she needs to support herself. Adult decisions should be made by adults - that means supporting herself.

    This is why I am perfectly content living
    I love them, but I don't have to deal with them on a day-to-day basis.
    How cute! She is definitely living her dreams
    in that picture, Ha!
    ...appetites. Living composters! nm

    Keys - Son - Living with Daughter

    However, why post if you were wrong and then defend yourself to the opinions that were posted????  I don't get it.  My parents had an open door policy.  No matter what, they stuck by my decisions.  I moved out twice and moved back in before getting married when apartment life did not work out for whatever reason.  I did not move out when I was 16 though as my parents were responsible for me until I was 18.  Once I turned 18, they still let me move in and out and I also always had a key.  I had a key to the house they lived in, and then I had a key to my Mom's independent living apartment after she sold our family home when our Dad passed away. 


    I think there are more issues here than you want to admit.  I think if you tried counseling instead of arguing with your son about a key, then you may get to the root of the problem.  The fact that you won't allow him access to your home symbolizes that you don't want him around unless you are home.  You are now telling him that his home is no longer his home by taking the key away. 


    I think that it is just understood that once one moves out on their own that the original home is not their home, but they are still welcome.  I don't think you want to welcome him into what you are calling your home. 


    When we bought our first home and had children, we became a team.  We are a family and even though my husband and I pay the bills, we do tell our children that this is "our" home.  They help with chores and that's the best they can do. 


    I don't want to go on and on, and I'm not bashing you here.  I just think you may want to consider some help from something other than this board. You may want to try a church or a counselor to help you with your teenager.  I'm sure none of us here are saints by no means and we need to support one another here. 


    My Mom used to say "You are born, but you're not dead yet."  In other words, anyone here can state their opinions on the rearing of their own children, but not until you die can you say "that never happened to me"!  My Mom would say this when I would give judgemental remarks of others.  This was to open my eyes to the fact that the very same thing I am talking about could happen to me! 


    Lots of luck and love to you!  I certainly hope there is a way to keep an even ground with your son.  Blood is thicker than water...


    Are we living in a big-brother nation
    While I feel it was disrespectful from the student I feel it should have been handled differently. I don't believe the school should have been involved, since it didn't happen on school property or with school property. If I was the teacher I would have contacted the parents and talked to them and let them know how uncomfortable I feel about something that was written about me and let the parents handle how to discipline their own child. The school should have no say on how to discipline this child. What will the next step of the studen't personal life will the school decide to be involved in.

    I think I'm living with your husband's brother
    I've got a very similar issue going on right now, too, so I'm very interested in hearing the responses. I don't know how old you are, but one of the biggest problems for me is that at 49, my body image is more comfortable having sex with wild abandon under the cover of darkness and that morning light (not to mention the sheet wrinkles, morning mouth, etc.) just don't let me feel relaxed enough for great sex (I might add that we've only been together about six months, and while being comfortable enough to ignore one's own body flaws may come, I'm not there yet). In our case, he does at least seem interested in the sex, with days full of flirtatious innuendo (he owns a ranch, so we see each other a good deal during the day), but somehow, he cannot drag himself to bed before 3:00 a.m. (and gets up at around 11-12) about an hour after I've finally given up waiting and gone upstairs (I'm an 8-9 riser).

    This is a hard one not to take too personally, but if your husband has always been like this, it doesn't seem like it could suddenly be you. And, for what it's worth, there are many women who fall into the size 4 category (although I ain't one of them) who have the same issue, so it's not that weight loss/starvation will be this magical cure-all. As noted, I look forward to hearing from those who have gone through the same thing (and sorry for all the parentheses).
    Are we living in the Wild West?....sm
    I wonder that the police do not take more action against him.
    Your mother has now to live imprisoned with a shotgun next to her bed?
    She should make him institutionalized, declared incompetent and the property should become hers and yours.
