Catheryn Small: Gosh, sounds awful!! You sound like such a nice kid, I hope you can work this out. Did you tell your dad? I know you don't want to upset him, but gosh, I bet you two are the most important things in his life!! But, if all else fails and he marries her, remember, try to be happy for him. You don't want him to be alone, and maybe she makes him happy. You'll be a grown up soon and will get to leave it all. But remember....communication is the key. Maybe start a converstaion like this....hey dad, can I talk to you about something....I don't want to upset you, but I want to tell you how I feel about _______ (her name) Then, tell him what you just told us. Don't judge what he says and thank him for listening. If you're really nice about it, he will be more likely ti listen to you without getting upset. Good luck!!!...Show more
Galen Gowers: Lol! Guys shouldn't have to depend on girls to do their laundry, clean and cook for them.
Brian M! arquina: First of ALL I would secretly record your step mom and show it 2 ur counsler and dad ... away of letting what your danger level is because I know hard going through a relapse is . Second the farther away u are from that woman or should I say monster ..the better !
Damaris Weiler: Ignore her. walk around witch head fones, pretend to do your hair, etc. dont talk to her. this will piss her the **** off. then she willll stop. easy peasy,
Coleman Coscia: I do laundry all the time. I also cook, clean, iron clothes and share whatever else needs to be done with my wife.Everyone should pull their weight and no-one is above doing chores.If a person can't wash their own clothes, than let them wear dirty clothes !!!!
Nicolasa Henke: If he just being lazy and saying that,there is no changing his mind. If he really believes it,give him all the manly chores repairing the toilet mowing the yard giving all his money to make sure his woman(family) are taken care of! . A little laundry will easily look better.Besides a person is! well rounded when they can do all for them selves and those they love.
Giovanna Sherlin: This does not sound like a good relationship. I'd recommend you leave. To put it simply, if your husband was a good person and loved you, he would not treat you this way(and not let others treat you bad either). But I'll guess your 'blinded by love' or for some other reason you refuse to do the right thing, and will stay with your husband no matter what. So your best choice then, is to ignore them as much as possible. Should mom say something, just ignore it. She says 'blah blah blah', you don't even look at her and say 'It snowed today'. You could also falsely agree with her. She says you do 'blah', and you say 'why yes I do do blah with a cherry on top'. You could go to the extreme dark humor(I do this so often). She says 'the kid with catch cold with no hat on'. and you come back 'mom, don't be silly, he has no hat on so he will catch a cold and we can get rid of him, don't wo! rry we can make another son'. And food, well fine, don't cook for her. Don't see how that would be a big deal. So thief brother in law. Just hide your valuables. And watch him. Never leave him alone. You can always do the classic mom trick of you 'needed to suddenly fluff the pillows'(or whatever) of the room he was in. And you can always set traps fro the BiL. The simple ones are just stack some items ready to fall, so if they are touched there will be a big bang. You can do a lot with string and fishing wire too. For more fun, you can find 'spy gear' at your local $1 store, with alarms you can put on a door, drawer or such. You should not overly much care what you get people like this for Christmas. I'd get them lumps of coal(got one of them for my nephew). You could ask your husband to buy the gifts. Or just get them gift cards. Or...if you want to have too much fun....get them an item that tells them how you feel. Like a DVD of 'Monster-in-Law' for mom. Or 'To Catch a t! hief' for BiL. And to go way too far, you can get the mean gift. If you! know that they don't like X, then get X for them....Show more
Vickie Sterbenz: guys dont have to always depend on girls when it comes to doing the chores... it simply shows that guys cant live without the girls! woo-hoo...!okay, seriously... it's not wrong. guys should learn to do them. even just learn the basics.
Randal Deyarmond: If he can dirty his clothes then he can launder them...........case closed
Edwina Fu: No. My little guy helps me. He's only 17 months old! :D
Christy Tirabassi: I just come on here and blow off steam by asking questions about my sibling. I ask those "is this rude or am I imagining it" type questions then other people tell me how to handle it
Clemente Schoeck: Your cousins mother needs to slap him back to reality. There may come a day when he is out on his own. What's he gona do " run home to mama" and let her do his laundry. Real men do laundry.
Terrell Lawman: If you have an iphone you might want to give ! this a shot : www.picture-punch.com . Take your frustrations out virtually!
Darren Heling: Heck No! I work in a place where there is laundry that needs to be done everynight. Sometimes I get sooo sick of doing it. Finally I brought it up in a staff mtg that the guys should share the responsibility of doing to laundry because that is how I was raised. They argued then agreed to share the load. Come on men it's the 20th century share the responsibilities.
Charissa Riley: Go to your room and close the door.
Vernita Robberson: are you kidding me??!!!! guys should be TRAINED to do house choirs, dishes, vacuming, laundry all that stuff. Would you want to get stuck with a guy who sits on his @55 and does nothing while you are busting you butt doing everything around the house. I don't want to do that. That is why i'm still single.
Joni Ziak: I would make a rule that everyone takes a shower together. Its saves water, great bonding experience , and you can s! ee who is the nasty pervert of the family.
Kellie Waycott: Your c! ousin is sadly mistaken, I do my own laundry. So why in the world can't he?
Ezekiel Kadner: the only thing my dad doesnt like about me is the fact that i have a girlfriend and i think lyn is telling him things about my girlfriend that are nasty also.
Jammie Taddei: No, its not bad. In today's world, anyone can do the laundry as long as they know how to.
Jasper Mangel: i think you have a big issue. you need to tell your dad that you are uncomfortable with her being around you when he is gone and ask your dad to make her move out. if he says no, just remind him that you are his kid and you are very unhappy. then if he still says no then he is just choosing her over you, and you should see about living with a relative. you need your happiness, it is not good to be depressed at an age that young because when you grow up you could have depression problems... talk to your dad and make him choose....Show more
Rosalba Lingner: Your cousin is a LOSER ! ! ! He probably should have lived and died in the 1950's. Have him watch the movie, "Pleasantville" -- he may just see how ridiculous that way of thinking is (but being a LOSER, he may not even SEE the connection). All single men do their own laundry (unless they are a mama's boy) and men in the military do it as well--they learn to take care of themselves.Tell him to GROW UP !!...Show more
Malcom Bourek: my dad got engaged a couple months ago to one of the rudest, nastiest liars i have ever met. as soon as my dad leaves for work she becomes a major ***** and lies and says nasty things about us and stuff. when my dad gets home she turns into an angel and asks like shes worked hard all day and that we have been nasty horrible kids. when really we get good grades, do what HE asks us to do and dont behave badly AT ALL. me and my brother are 14 and 15 and have never been in trouble or anything. Yet she always finds things wrong with us. shes gotten drugged up and drunk! and she cusses and smokes and is vain and arrogant. i have clinical de! pression and im starting to "relapse" i guess you could say because of this. What should I do about my step mom? Im thinking about spending as much time at my moms or my girlfriends house as possible including vacations? should i? any davice? serious inquires only please!...Show more
Elden Bardach: Talk to your mom about this. Maybe she can help you explain what's going on to your dad. If not your mom, then a school counselor or someone that can help you get this situation settled. It's definitely not good that you're relapsing and that's something that needs to be handled immediately. If your dad can't see who this woman truly is, you and your brother need to leave, asap.Good luck....Show more
Damion Oleksa: my stepmother is the same way, if not worse...she is trying to drive a wedge between you guys and your father and obviously doesn't want you around. there are only a few things that you can do...have a private heart-to-heart conversation with your dad...tel! l him exactly how you feel and what is happening. Let him know that you love him and do want to live with him, but you are worried about relapsing into depression and it isn't healthy for you to live this way. Tell him that if he can't figure out a way to make it better, you will have to go live with your mother(you are old enough to make this decision, regardless of custody/court stuff)...and that it is for your own personal/mental health...you should also talk to a school counselor or psychiatrist, as they can help you directly...i know how you must be feeling and i hope this can help you find happiness :)!...Show more
Ollie Hamiel: try to manipulate her emotionally, women are good at that.
Jamika Gregorio: Hello, I really think you need someone to talk to about all of this. I was never in a situation like that but my kids went through alot of the same things with their first step-mom and now are goign through the same stuff again with their new step-mom. Ya ! their dad sure can pick them. If you want to talk to my daughter she w! ould be more than happy to talk to you. Her father finally told her to get the (F) out and never come back. That was two years ago and he still has not spoken to her and we live in the same small town. It is no_mercy_87 at the famous Y. Good luck and please talk to someone about all of this....Show more
Toby Women: NO wayyyyy guys need to do laundry to... My husband does the laundry but I tell him what to wash because if not he will put white socks in with a red shirt and that irks me!!!!!!!!!!!!! and when you get married its 50/50hope this helps
Serena Doak: unless if the guy is retarded or sick but everyone should be able to do their own laundry.
Patricia Dornbos: ROFL My hubby tries to get out of the laundry but sometimes I go on strike and just wash mine and the kids and then he has to do his own laundry lol..
Lu Tiner: So sad and that is the way it goes when another woman comes into your home. If she really Loved your Dad, she would! do all she can to help you kids. Hopefully, your Father will sense that this woman is not good. You need to take your Dad off where you can confide in him and tell him. If you have a counselor , go and let it all out to him/her. You are big boys, so try to do all you can to keep peace. Stick together . But you need to let your Dad know that by his fiance, being in your home, it is not working out. It's his duty to kep his home for you boys safe and happy. If she is causing problems for his children then he needs to give her the boot. Keep a tape recorder on hand and turn it on, while your Dads at work. Tape her when she is cussing at you. Then play it for your Dad. . Good Luck and I hope and pray it will get better for you boys....Show more
Freddy Shutler: My new rule is that we all go our separate ways and never see each other again! No really, it's for the best :)
Kara Tabian: The sad thing is that she is my identi! cal twin sister............
Ewa Homrich: That's ridiculous! Of co! urse guys can do laundry, and cook and clean house..........(he's just lazy!!)
Inge Mclaurine: an opportunity to make new rules within your family what would they be Ex. Less chores, later curfew...
Renita Sefton: Your cousin should join the rest of us in the 21st century.
Adrian Sherlin: My sister is sooo annoying .I try hardest not to punch the b**ch in the face , but she is so dang stupid.I really try hard not to say anything ,because she has a problem with being mean.So are there any things to make me calm down so i don't kill her???
Veta Slicker: 1. Point fist at her face.2. Take two big steps to the left.3. Throw punch.You may also want to warn your sister to stand still while you're doing all this.
Inge Mclaurine: Try to avoid her.Ignore her as much as possible.Ask your parents to step in.Walk away if you can.As a last resort you may need to administer therapy to help her behavior problem.Here is how it works.You take her to the bathroom! and stick her head in the toilet and flush it vigorously several times.This is called"therapy" and it works.Tell her she will need more "therapy" until her attitude and behavior changes....Show more
Zora Mazzie: I sure do think it's wrong, and I tell my wife of over 40 years that every week while I'm doing the laundry.
Coralie Goldsberry: Go to her room and close the door. and poop on her bed and then put the covers back on
Katheryn Skrobacki: No guys get there clothes dirty therefor they should clean em
Morris Olexy: A good counselor is the best thing you can do. Spending as much time away is one way to go about it, but when you're there, it will still be bad if you don't learn the coping skills. I can tell you one thing- I had a pretty bad step mother myself-your dad will see her for what she is eventually. However, these things have a long tail, and take time. It may not even be until you and your brother are adults. Don't do anything to give her! ammunition and proof that you are the bad kid she says. See a professi! onal to manage your depression and family issues so you can stay on the right track. Don't be afraid to ask your mom to find someone for you....Show more
Russ Kiernan: Let the males do the laundry.......just let them learn on their own clothes.Girls can teach them, then sit back and let them go at it.
Lyndon Mattas: You and your brother need to tall you father how you feel. Be calm, be clear and write down the major points. Your dad knows that you are good kids. He can't believe everything this woman is telling him. You owe it to him to tell him the truth. And, yes, you should spend as much time as possible away from her and you should tell your mother and father why.
Carlee Tangaro: Guys should do their own laundry!
