There for awhile he was very upset with me about it and there was nothing i could do but cry. My kids are 13 and 15 and mess the house up like they are 3 and 5. Im talking clothes and trash everywhere, every dish in the house dirty. You name it they mess it up. My 15 year old complained the house needed to be sprayed with lysol last night. I told her to do it and her reply was its not my job to clean up after everyone here. Ha ha so see its my job.....
Not much support here. My husband is my only support and he does not know how to be very supportive but i give him an A for effort because I know he is really trying he just wasnt raised to be comforting or nu rurturing or supportive.

Oh my goodness, I would be very angry if one of my kids said that to me. I would stop washing all of her clothes, and every meal I would set a dirty dish in front of her and say "If you feel like eating, then you need to pull your weight." She's 15... that is horrible! If she says anything say, "It's not my job." You do not deserve to be treated like a slave. I'm serious. When I was 5 years old I was already helping with the laundry, vacuuming the floors! If my 6 year old spouts that attitude his DS, t.v., and computer privilages are all taken plus time out as well.
I tell you I can be the worlds biggest door mat, but when it comes to my kids they do not mouth off to me without consequences. No way.
Moremie, I know you're in a hard time now, but I swear that if you start standing up for yourself you will start to feel power. I never stood up for myself and I felt dead. The minute I turned my pain into fuel and put my foot down was the minute I started taking back my life.
