Well it's the same old same old at my house. The boys get curious... play with stuff they shouldn't and whammo it's a battle.... Not between me and the boys... Although I do discipline them I am trying not to yell. Don't get me wrong I am not condoning miss behavior, I just don't think yelling and screaming at children is correct. I also hate

You're right, it's the principle of the thing, but it's not the same principle you're thinking. Heaven forbid that anyone should touch your dad's things, even if he doesn't want them. He'd try to sell a family photograph to a close relative if he thought it'd get him some money. Your boys are just boys, they'll get into things: Thats. What. Kids. Do. The boys shouldn't have touched that and they both knew better, but curiosity can get the best of everyone. They were wrong for touching or doing something they knew they shouldn't do, but your father and your mother were both wrong in over reacting like they did--like they always, ALWAYS do. They were wrong for blaming the boys for getting it out of the back room without proof, they didn't see it, how could they know?

In your family, everyone is out for their own. As shitty as it is, you aren't a family other than you're related by blood and you live under the same roof; and those two are small defining factors. Family wants you around and enjoys your company whether you have something to bring to the table or not; the way I see it, you're only wanted for what you bring, everything else is so easily overlooked.

Yes, your boys are mischief makers, what kids aren't? Honestly, a lot of the times you don't discipline them the way I would, and I don't always agree, but they aren't my kids and I understand that. I help out where I can and leave the rest to you. Both you and your children are learning, no one is a perfect parent, your parents are living proof. Who are they to criticize? I'm surprised you and Tess turned out as well as you did, honestly.

After seeing that tonight, it's a wonder you manage to deal with that at all, let alone grew up to be the reasonably sucessful and responsible adult that you are now. Who in the hell was your role model!?

And in case you didn't figure it out (I forgot to log into post that :P) the above post was mine. I was ranting. Gomen. I'm not the one it was directed at, but good lord was that frustrating. Good thing I don't live there, my temper would get the best of me more often than not.

I have lost my temper a few times.... Those turned into world war 3. Dad is just looking for a way so he can justify moving out without the boys and I. He wouldn't say something like that if he hadn't already thought of it. The boys are just a handy excuse to say it... Otherwise he might have decided to move and not tell me.. It's not like he hasn't planned it before.. Besides did you notice how after the boys were in bed he singled me out.... That is because a couple days ago they boys had put a little toilet paper in the bathtub.... I actually wasn't allot. I punished them for it.. Dad of course freaked out cause the tub wasn't draining. He blamed it on the boys. Do you know what it was? A really large hairball stuck where you could use your fingers to pull it out... So you see they didn't plug it... but do you think he appologiezed for his outburst? Nope... He doensn't have to do that he's always right.
