Am i the only one that has fusses w/my kids?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. ANTIQUELADY (16514)   ranked 353 out of 32,948 in life 2 years ago

I hate to be dumping on all my friends on mylot but need to talk. My son & i had a fuss this afternoon, want go into details , know u aren't interested. Anytime i disagree w/him i'm the dirty dog. Do they think when u get old that u don't have any right or sense to have your own opinions on things. Do they have the right to jump on u? I don't think so. What do y'all think? Do u fuss w/your children? I hate that!!

It happens. How old is he?

My only son is an adult and has a family. Those days are now fewer.


myLot reputation of 96/100. ANTIQUELADY (16514)   ranked 353 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

Thanks for responding. He is 28 w/a wife & 5 year old son. It breaks my heart when this happens. I'm not suppose to have an opinion on anything especially if it's different than his. Happy easter to u.

I know it is hard to not say much. I know he gets angry at me but usually he just turns colors and goes about his way. Tomorrow's another day and it is less important.

We have three grandchildren (girl 5yr., boy 2yr & girl 7 weeks).

Although my husband comes home from his mother's house fit to be tied. She drives him up a wall. He seldom talks back to her but holds it in to take out on someone else.


myLot reputation of 96/100. ANTIQUELADY (16514)   ranked 353 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

I tried not to fuss w/mine yesterday because my grandson was here & i didn't want him to hear us fussing but my son wouldn't leave it be. Why does your mil drive your son crazy. Guess sons forget what all u did for them when they were little. Tell him from me to have more compassion for his mom. Bet she had alot for him when he was depending on her for everything.sadThanks for responding. Happy easter to u.

sorry well, as people grow old they think for their own and while in the process, they think they're always right more and more. I think that's the reason why. I'm sure he didn't mean that.


myLot reputation of 96/100. ANTIQUELADY (16514)   ranked 353 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

Thanks for your response. I certainly don't want to do his thinking for him , he's grown. I raised him to be independant but not ugly to his mother. Happy easter to u.

Dearest Jo,
I have 2 darling daughters that sometimes treat me like your son treated you today. The little bast ards think that they know better just because our body aches. Let him know that you might have an aching body but not a feeble mind.angry. I had a big quarrel with both of my girls before my surgery. I had to apologise later because they got so much into my nerves that I told them to leave (I probably yelled then). But when we made amends, I underlined the idea that I might be older but not stupid.
Relax. Things will go back to normal. Watch a nice movie with a DIET drink nearby.wink. And I am interested in any details you want to share.
hugs


myLot reputation of 96/100. ANTIQUELADY (16514)   ranked 353 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

Thanks marg, u are a sweetie for sharing w/me.I never get to take ryan anywhere . When iask to i'm turned down which hurts my feelings big time. ryan & i were invited to an easter egg hunt & cookout late afternoon at a cousin's & my son said no.When i told ryan about it he seemed excited . I thought it would be a fun thing to do just he &i for a change. I have seen very little of him lately. I just got my feelings hurt then son decided to run his mouth & we both ended up mad. I'm still mad & hurt over it.
glad u & your daughters made up. I'm sure they understood u were up tight about having surgery. Anybody would have been.
thanks for listening to me. U are a good friend. love & hugs.

I occasionally fussed with my children while they were still living under my roof, but that was a long time ago. Now that my children are in their 40s, we never quarrel. In fact, my daughter will frequently ask my opinion about something. Our son seldom asks our opinion, but he sometimes gets it anyway. In my opinion, that's what parents are for. When I state what I think about the matter, Son listens quietly and usually states his views on the matter. Sometimes, he just listens, without comment. Never, do we argue. It is a quiet discussion, one adult to another.


myLot reputation of 96/100. ANTIQUELADY (16514)   ranked 353 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

Good for y'all. doesn't seem like we can do that. He hurts my feelongs over something then before it's over we are both p.o.I think we are too much alike.I just wish he was a more sensitive person toward me. Neither one of my sons have ever been that way toward me. I try to never make waves but when i do it's all my fault, u can't explain to them how u feel w/out alot of cussing & screaming. That's not a good thing.Thanks for responding. happy easter to u.

I hate to be in a fuss with anybody, myself. It upsets me. Don't worry about dumping your problems on any of us at mylot because we all need somebody to talk to. That's what we're here for. I think all children think their parents are old fashioned. I know I did mine. Now, I see that they were right about a lot of things and I really miss them. I think it's normal for all children and parents to fuss. Kathy.


myLot reputation of 96/100. ANTIQUELADY (16514)   ranked 353 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

tHANK U kATHY, U ARE VERY KIND. i TO HATE TO BE IN A FUSS BUT SOMETIMES SEEMS AS IF I'M IN ALOT OF THEM. gUESS THAT HAS TO BE MY FAULT. i TOLD A FRIEND THE OTHER DAY I CAN sit in this house & think i'm not bothering a soul & get in more crap. i don't try to tell my sons what to do they are grown & unless they ask for my opinion i don't give it. Seems like i'm not allowed to say anything unless it's what they want to hear. I'm not turned that way. Right or wrong, i say what i think, always have & always will. I just hate it when people try to turn it into something else if u know what i mean.

cry most certainly. i have 5 and its a thing happens with every one of them now and then after they are grown. sometimes they act like they've become our parentsuspicious i dont often get into it with the boys and its usually not bad except they hurt my feelings more then making me mad. and one girl i seldome get into it with. with these 3 boys and 1 of the girls always apologise quickly and make up for it. but i have one, my oldest daughter that jumps on me at least once a month over the phone. it seems we can hardly ever have a conversation without she starts something or disagrees with me. the worst thing is, she NEVER says shes sorry. im always the one that has to make up to hersorry oh well, shes my black sheep.


myLot reputation of 96/100. ANTIQUELADY (16514)   ranked 353 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

Happy easter morning Bon, It makes me feel better knowing i'm not the only one that has fusses w/their children but am sorry u do. I know how hurtful it can be. they may think they can boss me but they can't. They may have to someday but i'm not ready for that yet. Thanks for your response. hugs.

Hi Jo
With me it is more my Daughter and I lol
But it is only because we have different opinions about certain things and of course I don't know anything I guess lol
I let it go over my Head as 10 minutes later it is all said and done and she tells me she loves me
My Son and I are very alike and do not like arguments and to be honest we have never had an argument we talk about things and sort things that way


myLot reputation of 96/100. ANTIQUELADY (16514)   ranked 353 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

I'm glad they aren't anything serious w/your daughter & it's wonderful u & your son never argue. I don't like to argue w/anyone but have never backed down from one either[not bragging].What gets my goat w/my son is that he's hurt my feelings & he can't tell the difference between feelings & being p.o. I usually end up being p.o. before it's over with because i don't like him going off on me.I'm afraid we are too much alike. Thanks for responding.

This is not really uncommon problem. It generally occurs due to mismatch of the temperaments. I also have faced this problem, when I used to stay with my family. My Mom and I would quarrel about anything on the earth. Sometimes, it would irritate and annoy me.

Here is what you can do! Try to have a conversation with your kid. Tell him that it annoys to argue with him about things. Let him know that you would like to see his point of view and would expect him to do the same too. This is kind of an agreement and I have found that it works sometimes. Maybe, you should try it too...

Have a good time!


myLot reputation of 96/100. ANTIQUELADY (16514)   ranked 353 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

Thanks for your response & happy easter to u. I'm glad your mom & u have come to a good way to solve your arguments. That's a good thing. I'm afraid my son & i are too much alike.He hurt my feelings, he didn't make me mad till later when he was running his mouth. Thanks for your advice.


myLot reputation of 98/100. mr_pearl (1858)   ranked 160 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

I hope you had a great time on Easter with your family, miss. Yes, my mom and I came to a solution. I simply started staying away from my parents and now we don't quarrel. lol Well, it is not the perfect solution, but I had to move out, because it had become too much for me in the end.

Have a conversation with your kid and I am sure all will be well soon...

Have a great time! thumbup


myLot reputation of 96/100. ANTIQUELADY (16514)   ranked 353 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

Thanks for your response. I did not see one person yesterday or talk to a soul. It sure wasn't a good easter but hopefully there will be another one. I'm glad your mom & u worked it out but that's a sad way to do it. I bet she misses u. Have a great night.


myLot reputation of 98/100. mr_pearl (1858)   ranked 160 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

Sure there will be another one and trust me it will be the happiest one... thumbup I know my Mom misses me and I miss her too, especially the food that she cooked for me. And yet, I was and I still am, helpless.. blush

Hope things become bright at your home, very very soon... Have a good time!

Hi Jo! I am always a dirty dog in my house..LOL. I am not one to be agreeable just for the peace factor. I say what I mean and if I don't agree...I don't agree. I think it's better for them in the longrun if I am honest. If my daughter has to much makeup on...I say...dang kimber..it looks like someone hit you in the eyes..get some of that stuff off..that = dirty dog.

My daughter says I should say more to her face than going into my bedroom and complaining in a mumble tone just loud enough for her to hear a few choice words.
I know she lets me know in plain terms what she is thinking. Actually, my wife does too.
