We take a large carry on with us and use it specifically for fragile items so that they don't get broken. You're right; they don't handle fragile items with care.

I also worry a lot about carry on, not because of the crew.. but because of rude people.
I 've had my computer bag (with laptop inside ) being shoved, pushed and hit by rude people trying to cram their oversized bags in a compartment that is already full.

You mis-read my post.
I TOLD my son to pi$$ off. Could just as easily have been eff off, but I'm a lady.

I am hardly being abused. He's a mouthy little twerp who irks me occasionally. He is not my abuser.
One word from me, one nod of my head, one crook of my outrageously long finger ... and Hubby will gladly flatten any or all of them.

In case you haven't figured it out, let me clarify - I am 100% the alpha dog in this house. Avery recognized it immediately and named me such.

When I've had enough, Son #1 will know it, because he won't live here anymore. God has gifted me with an abundance of patience, empathy, and love. I won't apologize for that.

Maybe I should stop posting personal things. You clearly see me as a snivelling beaten woman, cowering in the corner. I'm not. Not by a long shot.

I have so much empathy for anyone in a situation like this especially for how long this has been happening. I can't wrap my brain around the words you describe your son to be or what in return he says to his own mother. :cry:

Exactly a week ago your post rattled me to the core. It is heartbreaking to watch you repeatedly describe the young man the way you do and to see you busting with hope that he will move.

I guess we all interpret abuse in different ways, berating you everyday is clearing not abusive to you even though you say you can only hear I hate you so many times a day. Me, I find it troubling to find a kind and generously lady being told the Mom died to get away from his Mom. Me, I can't imagine my DS speaking to me like this or telling me he hated me so many times in a day as you have shared often.

Yes indeed, These are very personal things you have repeatedly posted for a very long length of time now on an open forum. You will likely receive some posts that might condone #1 and shrug it off as just being mouthy. I for one finding it more disturbing than being simply mouthy like some preteens tend to be given his age now.

Counselling for you and your DH would likely be the most effective tool in your arsenal for a situation that is not improving in your household and that you say you are seriously contemplating fleeing. Counselors can guide you two united to effective ways of correcting all the horribles you have posted. Maybe a counselor could give your husband the confidence to not sit in wait for word , one nod of head, one crook o finger. Maybe he could have a role in setting boundaries for #1 with clear consequences? I wish you nothing but the best but yes it is very sad to read week after week, month after month and well into the second year of your troubling posts. Heartbreaking.
:(

JenniferS, post: 6677190, I haven't mentioned this yet, because I didn't want to jinx it, but I am absolutely busting!
It looks like two of the three kidlets may be moving out. Not the same two as before. It was difficult to see you seriously state you will move out of your own home over all this.

Son #1 - the most miserable, bi-polar, car-wrecking SOB in the Universe says he's leaving as soon as school is over. This means Hubby and I will have the entire upstairs to ourselves! :angelic:
He says I make him crazy with my controlling ways and he has to get as far away from me as possible.
Ummmm ... DITTO!
I will still encourage him to get that counselling that he mentioned.
He asked if I could front him $400 for each of the first two months. Truth is - I would give him $400 a month for the rest of his life if it meant he were happier, living in his own place,
not berating me every day.

Honestly, there are only so many times a day I can hear, "I hate you ... Your mother died just to get away from you ... You are the worst person in the world ...."

Adopted Son is getting his own place, with my nephew and another guy.
There's an apartment that will give you the MUNCHIES every time you walk in the hallway. :eek:

This will give me my bottom basement back for storage. I need to get some order back in my life, I have been so stressed with all the carp everywhere!
Plus, he always has two or three friends over. None of them are bad kids ... it's just that they are ALWAYS over.

This will leave just Son #2. His anxiety level should plummet. I will yell less. He will yell back less.

Maybe, just maybe, this will work out this time.
Please Lord.

Otherwise I'm moving! Seriously.

Bowling alleys are making a strong comeback. They are building very nice ones into gaming facilities. They have just taken on a new look and a more social tone over a sport.

Here is the newest one in Northern IL.

Up in the Northeast, candlepin bowling ruled. I think in most other areas of the country, they used the larger sized bowling balls, so I assume that's what you were familiar with.

Here's an interesting article (from USA Today, a few days ago) on the current state of bowling, and how it's changing --http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2015/05/10/bowling-final-frames-roll/27070351/

Yes, I'm referring to the latter.

Interesting article. Thanks for sharing. :)
