Journal Entry for July 10, 2007 Mood
Tuesday, July 10, 2007
Battle number 101.  Same type of fight, just another day. This morning we put the puppy in my step daugter's room, my oldest daughter was sleeping in there too.  We had to go to work and the puppy cant be alone.  My step daughter took the puppy and put her in the basement and shut the door.  My husband got the puppy and put her in the powder room, which is where we put her when we go away.  I was pissed because here again she is getting her own way.  No way, these girls, including my daughter do not need to sleep until 1, cause they chose to stay up all hours.  They need to learn to be responsible.  He is not doing them any favors, by giving into them.  They are spoiled brats and little prima donnas.  I am so sick of it.

    Hey cmain, sounds like your having fun!!lol
    Seriously, I feel for you. I know I was never aloud to sleep in until 1:00pm. I find that's the problem with the teens now adays. They are lazy. They don't want to do chores or jobs in their own home to keep it clean, they don't want to get a job because Mom and dad can pay for everything, besides, it cuts into their socializing time with friends. They certainly don't like doing as they are told, so alot of them leave home and end up on the street or shelter. I have a teen shelter right around the corner from where I live, and you should see the behaviour coming from these kids. Cursing and swearing, girls hangin' off the boys with a cigarette in their mouth, and talking rude and disrespectful to who ever walks by.
    It's crazy. Please don't take that the wrong way. Im not calling your children lazy at all. Im just saying alot of teenagers now a days certainly raise themselves. A part of the problem that parents have now is, we have lost alot of our rights to our children. We are not allowed to raise them as we see fit. The moment a child feels unhappy about rules, they run for the streets. We have lost our rights to our children. The government decides what and how we raise our kids. I think that's alot of the problem why the kids now a days are so lazy and disrespectful to their authority figures and themselves.
    If the government wants to see an improvement on the poverty levels and welfare of the children, we need to have our rights back. We have very few rights to excersize at parents.
    I also agree with some of the comments you got earlier, they do need to get up and start learning. If they don't , they will never survive without you and their father.
    That's just my opinion though not fact.LOL

    Anyways, keep control and teach those kids that it's you and their father that "Drive" that house and everything in it!! Not them.
    I hope your husband can see your part of things and I hope he supports you on your decisions.
    Good Luck honey,

    your friend,
    Janet

    I am sorry, if your husband does not stop giving into them they will grow up to be LAZY. They will depend on him for the rest of his life if he doesn't put a stop to it now. I will pray for you and your husband.

    I agree with CourtneyR, they will grow up dependent on him. When there is discord of that type in a marriage, it makes life really difficult. I pray God will bring some peace into your lives. God bless and keep you...Donna
