I'm grounded

hi stowyk he makes me want to paddle him like a little brat lol lol pointless is a sweetheart and nobody should treat her like that.

she would like my son as he is so kind and giving I just thought all sons and son in laws were like that and I guess they are not.

Exactly. It's over now.. he put my receiver back and I have TV again... so he is over being mad now.

don't understand what you two are saying co ink e dink

he he no pointless a unty hatley says its no co ink e dink at all.

Oh they had TV.. he didn't take their receiver, just mine. He put it back though just a little while ago so now I will be able to watch Idol. Maybe my daughter putting me into overdraft had something to do with it? I had to transfer some money to cover it. She had permission to get milk and eggs. She got some other stuff and it was more than I had in there. Is it a co ink e dink?

That sounds like an option!

I agree. It's hard to live with family. I am like a roommate. I pay for the food and SIL pays for everything else. It's all blown over now thank goodness.

haha that's karma right there!! I'm glad you were able to get your tv back and it's also nice to know that karma really does come back to bite people in the butt

Yes it is ridiculous. My daughter didn't agree with it.. she is the one that got him to be reasonable in 24 hours. It was touch and go after that too.. but it is all okay now. Funny thing now is he is without TV.. he ran over the cord to their receiver with the lawn mower. I have TV and he doesn't.

It's the one for my room. We all live together.. my daughter, son in law and me. He just lifted it, and put my receiver back after taking it out last night. His wife, my daughter, used my debit card (she had permission to use it to get bread and milk) bought a bunch of stuff and put me into bounce protection. I think he lifted it because of what she did. It happened right after that. He pays for the satellite, I pay for the food that everyone eats all month.

Get your daughter to hold him down while you kick him in the nuts and then refuse to buy him any food. Better still, take you daughter and run, he sounds like one of those obsessive control freaks who turn into wife bashers. Lash

Truth hurts sometimes. I hope he learned something.

It shouldn't have been an issue but she didn't tell him what her problem was because he always has a fit. She was hurting with neck pain and back pain and needed more medicine so she needed to see the doc. He said to just suck it up. She handled it in her own way without him knowing. Then he finds out two weeks later that she handled it her way behind his back. He got mad because she kept a secret and I didn't tell on her. She is supposed to see the doc this morning. I told him that if he had not belittled her and shamed her telling her to suck it up that she wouldn't have gone behind his back.

You only get to see clips online. He finally restored the wifi and my satellite receiver. First off he had no right going into my room taking out the receiver. That's my room. Things better change for the better when we move.

It's over now. He apologized. This is the first time he actually physically took something away from me. I gave him an ear full after the fact. We had a long talk today clearing the air. It was good. He really isn't a monster. He just pops a cork once in awhile and then he gets over it. 24 hours was the longest he has ever been mad.

Me too. He is a creep.

I'm not a violent person P1ke. I would live to hit him where the sun doesn't shine though when he acts this way. He gets very verbally abusive at times. He has gotten that way with his own parents before. It's worse for me because I live with them.

It's all over with now. He got over his tantrum. I list my home after a divorce. Since then I was in a roommate situation that was too volatile at times. I moved in with my daughter and her hubby. He is normally very nice but he gets mad and pops a cork once in awhile.

Happy to hear it is over now. I will response to your another discussion regarding this matter. I just saw it in my email box...

It's over now. His tantrum lasted for about 24 hours. Hecrestored everything.

Hegoes off on me every so often.

I don't have a choice. He can take the Internet and tv away if he wants to. He pays for that. I pay for other things in the household. He's just being an azz. It's over now. He restored it all.

I couldn't stop him from taking the satellite receiver. I also couldn't prevent him from cutting off the wifi. He put all that stuff in his car to hide it. He gets so theatrical sometimes. He's over it now. If I had a place to go that I could afford I would go, but in stuck. For the most part it's good living with him but he goes off sometimes. Lots of times I get hollered at for something my daughter did. He doesn't want to yell at her so he yells at me. I know he does this and he knows he does this. He will apologize and say he was taking it out on me.

Hi RitterSport, You don't really have an accurate picture in your mind about him. If I tell you something that happens, it happened and then it will be over. I don't keep it going and he doesn't either. In other words, I don't try to go out of my way to make war and neither does he. I don't feel that going for months not talking to someone or being irritable is the way to find peace in a family. Do you? Everyone has problems and they deal with them however they do. We don't hang onto anger. We deal with it and get over it. He just pops his cork from time to time. He doesn't hold a grudge, and neither do I. He pops his cork and then he is over it. This was the longest he has stayed mad. He isn't mad now. I just try to stay to myself most of the time to give them their own time together without the mom in law hanging around. He doesn't stay mad at all. I wouldn't want to live in a nursing home, for sure. I may have to one day, but I don't want to if I don't have to. Right now, I couldn't anyway with the hospital bills I have to pay every month. We don't have free health care here, so anything the insurances don't pay I have to pay. There is no Medicaid for me where my medical is free. He really is a good person. He just has a hard time coping with things and blows his top for a bit. This time it was my fault that he blew his top... but I suggested a way to handle things.. so hopefully, in the new house things will be better. I don't do much cooking anymore .. just for myself.

"I don't feel that going for months not talking to someone or being irritable is the way to find peace in a family. Do you? " Dear PQ everyone has to handle things as he or she sees fit. I really prefer a day or two of not talking when the offense is as big as this to just think about the situation undisturbed and then talk about it. This is far better than a false peace where you pretend everything is okay again and just tiptoe around the other person waiting anxiously for the next time he will let the handle fly.

having gone through some of the other answers now, I would even do womething different.- You are constantly facing abuse and as soon as its done with you will almost defend him saying he isnt sooooo bad. Please realize that he IS that bad. I would start writing all these things down in a notebook or in a file on your computer so you always have access to it and when he does it the next time you turn this creep in to the police for elders abuse. BTW I dont think there is no way out for you. If our dear online friend Hatley who has been evicted in her old age (shame on the landlord who dare do this to her and her son) and got into a senior citizens home, you can too........

It's all over now. Got the tv back. Will watch American Idol wednesday and Thursday..

Nope, I don't think I'd want your brother . Sorry you don't get any alone time with the tv.

LOL, he is a big child, beleive me. I don't blame you.
