11/09 Next Generation of Moochers

Quote From: peepinbud

 As Im noticing on this board, most are angry at those who sink instead of swim.

I have a friends from overseas whose friend said this...

"Its nice that Americans pride themselves so much on being self-reliant but too bad compassion has been thrown out the window along with it"

Young adults can get sick...PHYSICALLY and there is mental illness too. When young adults in some cases  are not even given resources to take care of themselves and have to do things like work 80 hour weeks at demanding part-time jobs pieced together with no health insurance, thats a problem.  Some of the tougher people can make it, but get sick, God have mercy on you!

There is a selfishness prevelant in American culture. Its part of the problem why young adults grow up unable to take care of themselves. They are left unprepared and cast out into a world where they ARE BLAMED for not measuring up right away.  Its almost like if you dont get that plum job right out of college, even ones own parents turn on you like vicicious dogs adding to the cacophony of the world outside. "LOSER"! "GET A JOB"! "WHY DO YOU MAKE SO LITTLE MONEY?"

I am of the belief that those who come into the most success, while hard work is a big part of the equation, have help getting there.  When they stumble and fall, they dont have a family that kicks them in the teeth while they are down. They have people who help them up [not enabling but real help, and answers and EMOTIONAL support.

I have to admit for me, the MONEY in some ways is the last thing some of these young people need, they need families who care about their well-being.. Emotional support instead of looks of disgust because they didnt come out of college making $50,000 a year I had a family so well-off, they considered my first teaching job of 14 bucks an hour in 1990, a LOSER job

I believe college costs are a big part of this too. Some of the parents who help with the college degree, resent the money spent. They think college degree means instant wealth. It doesnt. Its a racket and now instead of helping young people start off with some type of foundation, we got them starting off with loans so huge hanging over their heads, it isnt funny. The whole thing is a racket!

Isnt it natural that YOUNG PEOPLE will stumble and fall? They are young.  If older people are fighting over the jobs in the working class range, with far more experience, should we be surprised we got so many young people finanically struggling. What are we offering them? Stigma, hatred, asking the impossible--to somehow turn $5.15 an hour into a sustainable wage?

Is it all THEIR FAULT?

Sure with some of them there is responsiblity...giving up as some of them seem to have done is not the answer...

But then you ask yourself for some of the moochers, where did they learn to be selfish to begin with?

In a society that says every person for yourself, sink or swim...[where families no longer pull together to help one another out

Where else did they learn it?






Are you serious? 

  

Americans are the most giving people on earth. 

  

We open our homes, our pockets, our lives, and our hearts. 

  

Every disaster americans drain their savings accounts and scream bloody murder when supplies are not reaching the effected quickly. 

  

We are drowning in price increases, gas gouging, Bush's incompetence, and we still plod on. 

  

We are being crippled from the weight of the billions and billions of dollars this war and tax breaks for the rich, are causing us and our children are going to have to bear. 

  

Do not ever say that we have sacrificed our compassion for our children. If we did not care so many of our children would not be able to remain at home until they are stronger financially. We would not have the space to allow returning children into the nest. 

  

You are an american, try behaving like one and stop listening to foreigners tell you what to think about your own. Show some loyalty. We have american sons and daughters dying on other shores and in other countries for other races and cultures, because of our selfishness in wanting to help people to the same freedoms and privileges we enjoy. 

  

Do not throw stones, check yourself, and tell your foreign friends to put up their own selfless behaviors for us to view before they try to tell us we are behaving selfishly with our own. 

  

Foreigners are something else, they behave superior to us, yet seek to emulate us, and the moment anything happens they yell for help from the same people they hate and disregard. 

  

There should be a freaking parade put on by all countries honoring Americans for the giving and sacrifices we have been asked to make over the last few years. 

  

Check Yourself, move out of America, and write back to let us know how well your freedoms and rights are being honored and how much giving you are receiving in your new country. 

  

Shame on you. Stop trying to fit in with every Tom, Dick, And Pierre or whatever and tell them to go screw themselves when they dare to say americans are selfish.

Bridgit gives her daughter the "silent treatment" 

  

What a lousy thing to do to your child. 

  

A child should never feel isolated from her parent's love and acceptance.

You're Right. Guys really are a disgrace these dys

  

What a guy fails to realize is that the woman who loves, cares, and respects them will love them all of their lives, in sickness and in health, no matter what body size they are. What a guy does not realize is that when he trades that woman in for a younger version, when he gets ill, and he will or when his body changes with age, that young woman won't stay with him longer than it takes to pack up her car and put it into gear.  

  

Gentlemen, when you are pounding your women into the ground one day you are going to look up and she is not only going to have lost that weight, but she is going to use her feet to walk out the door. Your wives are going to remember all of the hateful and cruel names you called her and carry the resentment with her when she is healthy and at her fighting weight. She is not going to stick around long enough for you to give her the compliment she would have killed for, just months before.  

  

Ladies, I love my son-in-law. He is a dream and perfect for my daughter, but I told my daughter because he is your husband you have to honor him and go the extra mile to explore every available avenue to make your marriage work. The only time you are not to fight the good fight is for the two deal breakers: abuse and infidelity. UNLESS, with the infidelity, you are able to forgive and forget. If you are able to forgive and forget  you must explain to your husband that since marriage is a partnership of equals (100% from each partner) you must even the playing field.   

  

I told my daughter to explain to her husband that if he cheats and you are able to forgive and forget you must have restitution in kind. The best way to get over one man is to get under another. It also works if you find you are forced to give in kind payment.  

  

They have a real peaceful and intensely loyal marriage full of mutual love respect and true caring.  

  

My son in law recognizes that I am not the type of mother that advocates falling on the sword. He also knows that his marriage is his to make a success or fail on his own merit. I am not involved in it, don't want to know about it, and don't want to be brought into the middle of it. He digs me too.  

  

I will not have my daughter become the victim of any man, he recognizes that as well. We have an understanding.  

  

My daughter gave birth to his child and put on weight and he drives me crazy with his requests for me to get out of his house so that he can remind his wife how beautiful he finds her to be. He makes me laugh and I leave their home. I really dig this kid.  

  

I wish all of you women a husband like my son-in-law or the same kind of man as my son-in-law for your daughters.

Phil Did Not Address The Possible Deliberate Addictions

The young guy living in his mother's basement with his girlfriend and child made a statement that sent chills through me. This young guy said " the girlfriend was better and more fun when she had a couple of beers in her".  

   

When he made the statement regarding drinking I thought, "that is what happened to Whitney Houston."  

   

Whitney Houston was clean, sober, and drug free until she met Bobby Brown. They began to have problems when she told Bobby to slow down on the partying and drinking. I firmly believe he deliberately created in her a co-addict to stop her from complaining all of the time and to make her "fun" to be around. Whitney, prior to Bobby, was a family and church oriented person and never partied. She worked, interviewed, and made beautiful music. Bobby, for his own selfish reasons, deliberately  "turned" Whitney out and you see the outcome of their situation.  

   

When this young guy made that statement, I thought "Please make her see through the words to the subconscious intent" He could quite easily and before she could protect herself from his selfish intent make her into the next "Courtney Love" in order to shut her up about bills and adult responsibility.  

   

I may be wrong, what do you think? Did I read too much into his statement?

03/13 Infidelity Aftermath

Quote From: hope1123

How did you get the other woman to openly communicate with you. My husband had an affair back in 1998. I found out about it in November of 2003. I tried to contact the other woman who said she would deny it until she died. I also tried to email her but she did not reply. I've thought of showing up on her doorstep, but I'm afaid of what I might do if I am standing face to face with the slut who (along with my husband) ruined my life. I am trying to get past this affair, but not one day passes that I don't think about it. I chose to let him stay because of the children and because I still love him, but question that decision every day of my life.

What possible good could come from confronting this woman?  

Why have you remained in this marriage? The children is not a good enough response, anymore.  

What are you questioning? If you are still questioning you made the wrong decision. Rectify it now while you are still young and pretty. What does Phil say, "You are burning daylight" and Oprah, "Don't waste the pretty".  

If you have chosen to forgive your husband, forgive him and let it go, otherwise you are living a delusional life filled with pain and heartache and it is just going to get worse from here.  

Leave the woman alone, you can not make her feel sorry for what she has done to you, because she did nothing to you. She did what she did with your husband. He ruined your "life" and you have allowed it to continue.  

I suggest you get right with yourself and your finances. You need to decide to forgive your husband for real or get the hell out while you are still young enough to live happily and fully.

10/02 The Dr. Phil House: A Family's Last Chance, Part 3

Quote From: hannef1958

Dr. Phill, I cannot believe that you are puuting up with these two individuals, especially Jessica. All you need to do is to watch her eyes and face to know that she is just saying what sheknows people want to hear. It's my firm belief that she does not mean a word that she says. She wants out of thge marriage and away from the children. She's quite cunning and manipulative.

The children are in need of help. Please Dr. Phill, help them or get them help. The marriage is so over and has been. They don't need to stay together for them they need to get a divorce for them.

I agree 100%.

 

What I find most offensive about Jessica is the fake tears following every confrontation and then forgetting to sound regretful, instead of flippant. What an attitude she has...

Rah! Rah! Rah!

Quote From: erinezzell

I don't know what the story behind the biological father is, but how dare you say that he doesnt have the right to be a parent to his daughter.   In a time when so many fathers don't live up to the responsibilities that they helped create, here is a father that is and the law says too bad. It makes no sense.  If you think that he shouldnt be able to raise his daughter because he isnt married then there should be a lot of children placed for adoption.  How many single mothers are there out there? lots.  So unless this guy is an alcoholic, drug abuser or child abuser, then give him his child!!

 

Good for you and well said!

Arrogant Little Bitch

 

What A Bitch!

 

What mother raises their child to be so damn disrespectful to their elders?

She is an emasculating little bitch and when her husband wakes up and reclaims his balls he is going to hate her and how she made him look on national television.

06/24 Banned from the Wedding, Part 2

Quote From: tina2010

I'm sorry life is not about my way but I'm telling you that Jay is a grown man it is not about your way too when you have family it is not all about your way all the time because there is give and take/ Michelle when you are in a relationship  there will be comprmises, cooperation  and conflicts in relationships. Jane as a parent there will be problems we all have problems in life. Dr. Phil has problems I know being a mother in law is not simple but this is something you have to adjust to. Someday  you will be buried. Who is going to bury you when you die. You don't know if Jay and your daughter in law will be around  they might have an accident. They might get hurt. Like Isay it is not always about what you want. It is not always about what I want when he is married he is married someday he will make up his own mind and he will believe you right before your eyes. Take Jay as he is and take your daughter in law as she is

 

what are you smoking?

 

Please do not tell me that you are one of those parents that are controlled by your children?

 

God help you.

 

I would kiss no ass of any child I gave birth to. Remember about the tail wagging the dog? Respect is due the mother, because if there is a loser she is it having to swallow her pride, apologize to an unforgiving bitch with a closed heart and arrogant attitude.

 

You guys have a knack for raising children to admit to nothing and with the beleif that the world is theirs and it owes them everything. You do such a good job that when you tell your children NO, they plot your death for denying them something they want.

 

You had better wake up, before you wake up dead because you made one of your children unhappy.

Quote From: swarren8703

I would like to talk to Mom. I had two children and I was a stay at home mother. I enjoyed my kids to the end. When school started summer vacation and other mothers dreaded having their children home all day, I looked forward to it. My husband traveled 9 states and it was just me and my children 5 days a week. We had fun together.

My daughter married first and it was a great wedding. I think that planning her wedding got me through the (what I perceived) lose of my daughter.My daughter and I were very close. We even went to college together for her first quarter. Then I graduated    Later, I realized, this was not the case.  We have a wonderful relationship with her and her husband.

My son, at the time of mydaughter's wedding, got a girl pregnant. Only 2 weeks after my daughter was married, the mother of my grandchild moved in. I never felt the empty nest syndrome that people told me to expect.  . My grandson mother did not stick around. However, my grandson did. We helped my son raise my grandson for 3 ½ years. Then he met his wife.

When I see your daughter-in-law, I see mine. She does not want you in their lives. Maybe its because she feels that she is in composition with you for your sons love. There are some people that feel that people can only love one at a time. They dont believe that there are different kinds of love. She had to divide and concur to win his love. Now, she is not going to make any effort to reconcile . It is not in her best interest. She has been successful at putting a wedge between her husband and his mother and that is the way she wants it.

My daughter-in-law managed to do the same thing, and it work to an extent; however, he had a son too. After dividing us up, she trying to drive a wedge between him and his son. For a while it work. However, she went too far and put my grandson in a mental hospital saying she was afraid of him. The hospital told my son that the problem was his wife not his son. They are now split up, not divorced, but she is living back with her mother and father over a hundred miles away. The only problem is that there is another child. We havent seen our youngest grandson for almost a year.  she will not let us.  Everytime we sent up a time to visit, something comes up.

Dont hold out too much hope that things will get better unless you son will start to put a foot forward to help with the problem. He wont until he see her for what she really is. Hopefully there will not be any kids yet when he sees her this. The honeymoon will last anywhere up to 5 years. Then hell start to see her in her true light. then maybe he'll be willing to do something about it.  If he doesn't and things don't change, some day, when you past on, he will never forgive himself for never seeing his wife for what she is; an unforgiving woman who could do the same to him (not forgive him for somthng that he says under anger)  Sorry for you problems. I know how much it hurts.

It is often amazing what human beings do to each other, based on a lack of understanding.

 

You are one very patient and admirable woman. Good luck with the second child, but continue to love the first one to erase the bad experience of the step-mother. A mental hospital??? Sad sad sad.

 

good luck to you all.
