Dealing with an Older Stepson
Question: My husband and I have developed a serious conflict over how to handle his 19-year-old son (my stepson). The son recently left college and moved back home, and he now seems determined to live his own life. He doesn't work. He doesn't show respect to me and in fact is often hostile. Yet he expects me to provide his meals and clean his clothes. Whenever I talk to my husband about the problem, he takes the side of his son. In my mind, the son is old enough to make it on his own. The situation has become so tense that I have told my husband that he needs to make a choice of whether he wants to keep our marriage going or not. What should I do?
Dennis: There are a lot of issues here. The first is their marriage covenant. When a man and a woman come together in marriage, part of the vow says, "Forsaking all others." That means the husband and wife will give preference to one another—even in a blended family situation. Kids need to know that there is one relationship in that family that transcends all other relationships and can't be toyed with. They need the security of knowing that this husband and this wife are still going to be committed to one another, regardless of what happens.
I'd suggest that the husband consider taking his wife away and devising a game plan for how they will deal with this issue. He may need to ask forgiveness for failing to protect her in this situation. They need to talk through the situation—perhaps the husband fears that he will lose his relationship with his son if he cracks down.
Barbara: It may be that this 19-year-old young man sees that Dad is on his side and the stepmom is not. As a couple, they really need to get together and present a united front. There have been plenty of times that Dennis and I have disagreed in handling the kids. But we've tried to keep our mouths shut when the kids are there and talk about it later privately. We don't present two totally different opinions in front of the kids so that they can play off one or the other.
Dennis: The wife is right—it's time for that young man to grow up. The husband and wife need to agree and clarify to the stepson what's appropriate and inappropriate for how he relates to his stepmother. She needs to be protected. If he doesn't comply with your guidelines, tell him that he will need to move into his own apartment. Even if he does comply, they all need to come to an agreement about when this young man should get a job and move out on his own.
Barbara: I'm reminded of a situation that we faced as a family years ago with a child in the neighborhood who was a bully to our children. One of my thoughts at the time was, "I wish this child didn't live near us." But he was there, and I knew as a Christian, I had to love that child too. I began to ask the Lord to give me love for him. So I began to miraculously give me a genuine compassion for the child because of God.
In the same way, I can see how a stepmom could wish this child wasn't in the family. But the God of the universe can put love in our hearts for people who are unlovely. Children in blended families are going to feel like they don't belong, and they often take it out on the stepparent. So that makes it harder for the stepparent to love in return. I would encourage this mom to try to love the son as much as possible. If she is a Christian, I encourage her to take this issue to God and pray for a genuine love for the stepson. She should get to know the stepson and see what the real needs of his heart are. That doesn't mean that she has to go soft on him. But if the stepson and her husband see she genuinely loves and cares for the son, that will go a long way toward resolving the problem.

Hi All, I am having a very tough time at the moment dealing with my wife's stepson, I have read all your comments to get some clarification on what to do. I too am in a situation where I get frustrated. The step son is 25 years old and is on drugs on and off. My wife and I struggle to come to terms with it all. As it's her flesh and blood she takes his side. I on the other hand to the detriment of our marriage complain to the wife that he is a lazy little so and so. This has been going on for the past 2 years. We have been married for only 2 years and out those years we have only spent quality alone time for 7 weeks. I have tried everything to encourage him but when he gives that blank look on his face it just gets me more frustrated. The wife has had enough of our arguments over him and has always said that he comes first. This time she has taken her rings and has asked me to move out. I haven't got a job at the moment and she is working, with what little money we have in the bank account we still support him with food on the table, warm bed and a roof over his head. I do not want to get my family involved as it is none of their business. I have had some serious thought of leaving this life and leaving my wife with the financial support that will come of this. My motivation to doing other things has hit rock bottom. I have tried to talk with my wife and it all ends in the same way. I don't want to lose her and her son knows that very well. I am treated like a outsider under my own roof.
Please anyone help me as I'm at a desperate stage.
I hear all of you. We must decide early in each relationship to marry someone and then make that person the priority.
I made the mistake of marrying a woman with children 18 years ago.
Almost from the start I felt as though her life was about her kids and my life was about providing her a place to raise her spoiled kids.
There was about a year of privacy once the last one moved out where we had some time and privacy.
Now I am ready to divorce her based on the perpetual coddling of her kids.
The youngest is 25 and unemployed again.
He has been out of high school 7 years and had made less than $20K still has all his furniture and clothes in my house.
The next oldest is 26 and is over at our house everyday until well past 10 pm. He is dug in like a tick and won't leave until he gets his tity milk from Mommy.
Only reason I have divorced her is I won't give up a half million to buy my freedom.
I've been married to my husband for 6th are and together for 10. We are about to have our 3rd child togeter. I have a 14 year old son and he has a 21 year old daughter. My son is pretty good for the most paet. My husband tends to think he is lazy and makes excuses for his anxiety. Here about 3 weeks ago his daughter was in a chase by the police where she showed up to our house with 8 cops with sirens and lights. She was hallucinating on meth. She has one.little boy. She has been on drugs 3 times that I know of. My husband continues to make excuses for her about being depressed or going through a break up. He has said that she can possibly move in here. The thing is I can't live with her again. She is the nastiest person alive. She has dirty bandaid and douche bottles in her shower at her gmas house that are used. She leaves her diety clothes everywhere and she let's her kid destroy everything. My kids cry when her son comes over bc he causes them anxiety he's such a brat. I feel like she should have to get a job and a low income apartment bc I'm tired of dealing with her. She pulls this stuff every time we are about to have a baby or something good is about to happen. I honestly can say that I despise her and could care less if I ever see her again.
I'm sorry you have to deal with all of that. I do know that when a person is on drugs their perceptions and decisions are completely warped. So, my advice is to just simply ignore your step kids.
Tell your husband that in order to protect yourself and your marriage and that you can not be involved anymore. Then just ignore them. It's hard at first, but it has totally worked for me.
My stepson told my husband that I make him feel un-welcomed and that he's leaving… (Cue the Choir.. "Oh Happy Day")
I can not believe that it has totally worked! When I started ignoring him he literally had no legitimate reason to scream at me. So, his screaming stopped.
Good news is that your husbands on your side, mine just realized the other day that our marriage was in desperate need of help when my parents took a last minute flight to see me and assess the situation. To their surprise they found me in happy spirits and we all had an enjoyable time. When I told my husband they came, because of the tone in my voice and the fact that I sounded really serious about divorce he said the unthinkable…… That he realized he was taking his son's side and that he will defend me and stand up for me!!
Seriously, do the ignoring thing it works wonders!!
I desperately need advise,and wisdom. I also am in a terrible situation with 21year old Step Son.He and his twin brother have had quite the hard start to life, they lost there bio Mom at the age of 5. I have been in there lives since age 6. Its been difficult to put mildly. Animal abuse, fire setting, stealing, drugs,and barely passing high school. They moved out of our home at 17, bounced around from friends etc… and my husband allowed them to move back a year and 1/2 ago. One of the boys was asked to leave after totally disengaging from life,and back to old habits as well as a few new ones. He stopped paying all his bills,and was spending the majority I f his money on drugs and alcohol. He became extremely disrespect and hostile, not violent. His brother was allowed to stay because he has my husband fooled, I think he even had me fooled this time. I recently found out that he has completely crossed a line with me. It is absolutely something that I don't know if I ever be able to move past. My husband has told him that he had to go,that he needs to seek help,and also that he loves him but that I come first and so does my safety. Since then, my husband has tried to be supportive of how I feel but also struggles with why,and quite honestly if he doesn't stop shutting me d own when I need to talk,or try to figure this out,I can see this as being the final straw. I don't know how to be the strong one in this situation as I feel I always have to be. My husband told me last night that he remembers all of the horrible things his son has done but doesn't want to Talk. Any thoughts on how I… We can stop this before it ruins our marriage?
I have the same problem only my stepson is 24 turning 25 & still living with us!!!! I actually can honestly say I dislike him to the core. He is a loser to the highest power. He won't go to college & is a "recovered" cocaine addict. He beats up his girlfriend & screams profanities at me (mainly, because I try to prevent his father from enabling his drug addict ways.)
So, I have found the answer…. Since my husband will not stand up for me & kick his son out or protect my 1.5 year old daughter from listening to his son's temperamental rants I decided to ignore him completely.
Recently I have been listening to Joel Olsteen & he says it's ok to "love people from a distance." Once Jesus was called to bring a little girl back to life & when He showed up to the house, the parents started mocking Him & saying He couldn't possibly bring her back to life and He told them to get out of the house. After hearing that story I thought 'well, in order to save my marriage & my sanity it's ok to ignore my stepson.
When he asks a question I'll answer, but other than that I ignore him. When I make dinner I don't make dinner for him. Since I don't have the power to kick him out myself, the only power that I have is the right to ignore him. It's totally working too! He told his Dad that he wants to move out!!!! Wahoo!
I've been remarried for 7 years after 19 years as a single mom. My step son is 31. About 5 years ago he got a DUI, lost his firefighting job and lived with us for a year and a half. Came back for a couple of months and then again for 2 weeks a couple of times. He's an EMT now and rents a bonus room in someone's home. He comes about once a week to "spend the night". That turns into 2 or 3. The problem is his dad will invite him. I am absolutely miserable when my stepson comes because he's loud, squeals baby talk to the german shepherd, makes irritating throat noises and the spare bedroom (he considers it his) is right outside our bedroom. We don't have a big house. I don't feel I can tell my husband how I feel because he somewhat feels sorry for his son. I don't want to go home when I think he's going to be there and I fanticize about having my own quiet place to go home to after work. My husband is a great guy. He's a retired firefighter with endless free time. I work part time, am a writer AND have a nonprofit ministry, plus take care of my granddaughter 2 days a week. When I go home I don't want to have to deal with a 31 year man child.
Evelyn Ballard, I understand how you feel, or maybe not, because you have girls that you have to take care of and that I think is even harder, unfortunately your boyfriend is supporting his irresponsable son, and with that.say there is not much that you can do, but move on and take care of your girls. To me, they should be the most important aspect to be focus on.
After I have to go through with my step son's situation, I recommend any one out there no to get married or move in together with somebody who has children, it doesn't mother who has the children, that situation is not healthy for the children nor for the step-parent. Children will never understand the step parent position.
I pray to our Lord to give you wisdom to take the rigth desicion that will bring godly order to you and to your children. God bless you!
Well ive been dating my boyfriend for almost a year. And we r currently living together, I have 4 girls and he has 1 boy that is 20. My girls are still minors under 10. Since ive been here we argue constantly. He allows his son to say anything to me and my kids, he doesnt say anything to him about it.. I over heard the talking about me on the phone, the son called me a hood rat. I do everything for them he doesnt work or go to school. He plays the video game all day and talks on the phone, I never say anything about it. He leaves a mess for me to clean it up, his dad has spoke to him about it. My boyfriend has been martied before, and from what im told he called her alot of names as well.i left everything to be with him.. I gave up my home, my job etc. HE BRINGS ME TO THE STORE TONIGHT AND TELLS ME IN FRONT OF PEOPLE" I DONT THINK WE ARE GONNA MAKE IT"! HUH, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN. IM A GREAT PERSON I HELP REALLY ALOT ACTUALLY STARTING TO FEEL LIKE A MAID MORR THAN A GIRLFRIEND.WHAT SHOULD I DO??
I don't get your answer. I. am a Christian. They do no live with us. How do I handle the verbal and physical abuse. My husband can't face it. I can't defend myself except by stay away. This disappoints my husband because he wants us to be a close caring family. While he is feeling close to his kids when I am there they treat me as if I am invisible. It hurts.
I have 2 step children, 30 & 31. I have been married 16 years. Both children have been abusive. Daughter verbally
Son bullying. Pushed me down twice against the wall. He blocked me from passing in hallway more than once this has been going on for ten years. Recently told my husband. He talked to them. They denied it. He she he believes me. But I am not allowed over the children's houses, they refuse to come to our house to see there father . They all act as if Ive done something to them so I can't be around them and their father is protecting them. He says he knows his kids would never lie to him and neither would I. He doesn't believe me. I cannot be intimate with him I don't feel respected or loved. Where do I go from here?
Unfortunately, divorce parents feel guilty and do not discipline their kids like other parents.
Stepparents for the most part, we will always be the bad ones.
I see how my stepson manipulates his parents, he's disrespectful,
He doesn't pay for apartment, car, groceries. On top of everything he does not appreciate
all he has.
m… It's is weird and disrespectful. You can try to talk to your stepson that it's your private time. And get the lock and lock your door with a key! I think that he is doing it from hurt and jealousy and anger because every child is affected by divorce. Firstly pray to Jesus, repent, give him your life and then pray for your family and stepson.When Jesus is center in family then he is helping and solving problems. Your husband should talk to his son too.
Sorry if this is too much information.
Everytime me and my husband have sex/make love, his 18 yr old son always shows up immediately after or while we are still doing it. I find it not only disrespectful but weird. It's every time. When brought it up he says it's cuz we wake him up which is bs considering our 10 year old is closer to our room than our 18 year old. It makes me not even want to make love/have sex while 18 year old step son is in the house… what could be the reason/issues…
My wife has a 20 yr. old son that respects more than me. She protect him in every way. My truck had broke down, and I work 75 miles away from home, he on the other hand works 3 miles away. She decided to pick him up and leave me down the road to find my own way home… All he is doing is crippling my marriage. She refuse to see the disrespect going on in the home! He had complained how I treat his friends when they come to my home. She discussed that with me, and wants me to respect them even tho, they are loud, do not speak when entering my home. I feel I loss every battle when it comes to him??????
Our 21 year old had move back in after living out of our home since he was eighteen. Got evicted and was broke.his attitude is rude and he is unsanitary.we have asked him to help around but hardly does.when I asked him for money for food,after three months of not expecting anything because he was paying for a used car.he gave me a hard time about asking . It breaks my heart.i have repeatedly have had to ask my husband to talk to him.he does but does not follow through.it got so bad that I ran away from home for a few days. I really feel unprotected and that our relationship is not important.help!!i am ready to leave and start a new life.
I just recently moved from my husband's home due to a very similar situation with two adult stepsons who cuss at me and are very disrespectful, they remind me it is their dad's house & one had even threatened to beat me up & leave my 13 yr old daughter at the time without a mom. They have accused me of trying to poison them. That was so very hurtful since I would never do that, ever, & no one in his family asked me for 5 days while they all discussed what was wrong with the ice cream, which nothing was. My husband states I certainly must have done something to warrant the behavior & in the other breath praises me for how good I have been to them. That he doesn't understand their behavior. He does not stand up when they cuss at me & require them to be respectful. Providing to my daughters a safe, peaceful & joyful environment in which I live was very important, since my Husband failed to protect me & our marriage. My two oldest daughters visited very little over the past two years due the mistreatment from his sons. I asked him to move with me til we get the situation under control he flat out refused citing he would not leave his sons, nor his (healthy) parents who live right next door. Later says to the counselor he never condoned their behavior and that he never cited them as a reason to not move. Good thing I have that in writing several emails & text otherwise I'd believe I was going crazy. But yet, he still won't move with me. All I can do at this point is pray for him to be the Godly man He was designed to be, leave his parents & sons & cleave to his wife. All else I can do is just go on with my life, being the best parent I can be to my daughters and cleave to God, my Father in Heaven.
You only have one life, enjoy it.
Most children are great, and I love kids, mostly.
However there is always the occasional one direct out of the movie "Omen".
If you are both the biological parents usually this is not marriage killing problem , as both parents are on the same side.
However, if you are the step parent of this type of child, the problem in all honesty is insurmountable.
Walk away sooner rater than later while you still have your sanity and the opportunity to start over with a new life. Not easy, but far better than the alternative, as such children only grow bolder by the day with their success when the biological parent is taking their side.
Get while the getting is good, and don't look back!
I have a similar situation, and I have just made the break, and it feels so good to be alive again
Thank you so much Chris for your answer and prayer, we really need it now. I am leaving everything in God's hands, because there is nothing else we can do, we have tried everything possible in our hands, the water has just reached the top of the glass.
Thanks again, I feel much me better after I read your post.
I am so lost in my situation, I feel guilty. Don't know what to do.
Married for 10 years, 3 1/2 years ago my husband's son moved in with us, his mother couldn't control him anymore, he needed to finish his last 2 years of high school. I gave the best of me, being understanding, i believe in God, so tried the best. His father and set rules, but his actitud over the years, no respect, and lies got me down, he doesn't like his father and hates his mother because he sent him with us, so no pleasent situation, he finished high school, I don't know how, he g went there but didn't do anything, never want to work, after graduation I told his afther, I don't know how much longer I will handle him…, a year passed by, he is 20 years old now, and no work, no looking for it, no college, Nothing, sitting down on face book all day long, he likes pot, so, anyway too long to describe everything. I am done, but nobody wants him, no his mother, nobody, now everything he does it bothers me, it doesn't matter what, irritates me, we get in horribles fights at home, his fathers supporta me all the time, but, I don't know what to do, and his father either.
My stepson who is 24 has been a nightmare. When I first met hubby, every other weekend he was catering to the boy (4 yrs ago) while leaving his younger children (then 10 and 13) in the house ignored all weekend log. The kid had a bag with drug stuff on our property 3 years ago and we both nailed him to the wall and set boundaries. THEN about 16 months ago the boy ordered $67 in cookies from his sister..we called and called (or should say I called) and he never responded and I ha signed as authority over her cookie sells as husband would not. (Issues with girls doing things) It was 2 weeks past due date on a Monday and money due Thursday. I called and the boy ranted and raved as I told him it is okay if you don't have the money, we will sell them and be okay as I do understand you don't have the money. He yelled obscene things and threatened to kill me! I said I was hanging up and he said I better GIVE HIM the cookies and IF I hung up things would get worse. He also said DAD will do nothing and will not believe YOU anyway!! Jim (husband) came home, when I told him he was mad at me and told me I should not have called and let his son cool off. NO CALL MADE!! 2 days later the boy has his Mom harass me on FB (she was never a wife to husband but 1st love) then when that did not work (I told her cookies already sold) she told him and he came to house beating on door and threatening me yet again, I called the police and of course the police took my husbands side because he got home when they pulled up and told them I was just being histerical over NOTHING!! (Just before cops arrive tho Jimmy sends text that says for me to watch my back, that one day when no one is looking he will "get me". Jim kicks ME out of our home for the weekend, threatens to divorce me and then while I am gone cheats on me with PORNO for hours (10) even while his younger kids around.
We all supposedly made amends but IF Jimmy doesn't get his way he has a fit! I had surgery July 1st to remove gallbladder, not 2 hours after I get home my husband starts in that his son needs a vehicle and we need to loan him one. I said no, I don't feel well and you need to stop. Your son blows up and ruins every car he touches so no. Well he refuses to get me dinner because of it and then a 3 weeks ago brings up selling one to his son after he fixes it. I agree! Now a week ago they decide between the 2 of them to doit different, his son wants brokn vehicle NOW. Jim asks me and I say we already talked about this and that is the answer…he gets it when it is fixed. Jim then says he needs something RIGHT NOW!!!! My husband tells me his way or no way, procedes to call his son when I am gone (he only calls him when I am not around and provokes situation) and tells the boy I SAID NO! This turns into a BIG THING!! His sister gets word and says DAD told the boy I will not let him have a car ever and that his dad cant talk to him per me. I asked that this mess be cleared up and hubby says nope!! He also states that this (lying, hateful) son of his comes first (before me) and he believes him over me period. I need to get along with the boy because iz have the problem, not him. He goes on to say that the cookie fight was stupid so that makes it my fault. I was the one threatened by the kid ad he continues to get in between us but that is okay. (Just like my husbands Mom drinking on our property is okay because he is worried about offending her tho she lives 3 miles from our house. (she visits for an hour or two and cant be sober for 2 hours)
Many thanks Doris for your prayers & support.
I feel like Cinderella with the two ugly sisters!! Cooking and cleaning seems to be the only thing that I do these days. I get no thanks nor appreciation and don't feel like I will ever go to the ball. I gavey home and life up and its been a harsh lesson that I have learnt. I cannot give anymore, do I feel that I have toove on, but I'm 54 and only work part time so I have to seriously onsider my options.
Thank you so much
Kind regards
Hi Doris
Many thanks for your comment. No my partner would not accept a third party involvement. Apparently I over react to everything!!! I can't seem to get through to my partner that he has made a rod for his own back in allowing his son to rue the household. My son is older and was taught and brought up in a very different way, which I'm so pleased because now he owns his own home, business and has a lovely lifestyle. Unfortunately, my son seed what goes on in my partners home and is infuriated with the situation and would love me to leave. My son does my partners garden whilst the step son either sleeps, goes out with friends or watches TV!! My step son ivited 8 if his friends for a takeaway a week ago without asking either his dad or me, so we ended up going out. I asked my partner did he think that was right and he just shrugged his shoulders. Friends turn up and walk in and in my opinion have an air of entitlement to the home because thats how the stepson sees it. My partner does absolutely nothing to stop it. I've got to make a serious decision very soon.
I met my partner 7 years ago when hid son was 1 when i1years old. I too, have and still do experience daily problems. Recently I had an argument with my step son and he ignored mI told my partner that I was no longer willing to cook his son breakfast and do his washing and ironing my partner said, that I was being unfair. I've had 7yrs of watching a very overprotective father and could right a book on what I have witnessed and experienced. My step son does absolutely nothing within the home if anything goes wrong my partner is incapable of confronting his son, so it gets to the point that I have to deal with it and then I'm classed as a WI ked women for upsetting the son. My partner employed his son so they work together, do hobbies together and its that bad that they call us 3 when discussing anything within the household. My step son knows every spit and cough of what's going on. My partner says I imagine it but just recently we put the house up for sale and all 3 of us were involved with the viewings!!! Its an absolute nightmare.
I have been searching the web looking for advice. I am in a similiar situation with a now 20 year old.
I really hate to say this but, likely the child will cause the relationship to end if he is not removed from the home.
A dignified relationship devolves quickly in with a bad person in the house. With small children it is deifferent, there is a power and a way to change them, but an adult with bad character is not going to change. It is likely u will always have a conflict with him(stepson) through your lifetimes if together. His behavior is a mark of his character. When I look back one year ago, I was hesitant to move in with my husband because of his youngest son, the son was supposed to go college, went, and was kicked out of college with in the year. The son moved in with us and turned our home into a place no one decent person would want to live, I wish I had never married then moved in with my husband. No amount of love can overcome the presence of a bad actor, daily, nightly, constantly. I actually plan to leave. I feel as tho my values and morals r cut down by his son, and now by his father for supporting him. I just had to say this for what it's worth. I hope your situation has resolved some and you are strong enough to preseve your dignity.
By all means love that stepson, but stop providing a meals and cleaning service at once. Can you and your husband together decide how long his son will live with you (my feeling is that another 10 minutes to facilitate his packing might work well)and what the ground rules are while he is there? If your husband tells his son that he expects the son to contribute market value rate for the room, buy 1/3 of the groceries, do all his own laundry,and clean the house including bathrooms and kitchen every other time – and makes it stick when the resistance starts – I confidently predict that your stepson will move out promptly. In my experience, it must be the biological parent who delivers and enforces these messages. Otherwise, the stepmother is just being set up to be the permanent wicked witch. There must be reciprocity in every relationship, and love the stepson as much as you can, but do not injure yourself to demonstrate that love. This has very long term implications for the health of the marriage and any chance at all that the stepson and stepmother can achieve a healthy, mutually affectionate relationship.
To Nick, Sounds like you have some Mommy problems. A real man can protect his wife as well as his children at the same time. If a man sees it fit to put his children above his wife at all times then he has no business getting married. The husband in this posting needs to Man-up as do you. Name calling and placing blame only shows your immaturity.

Thank you Dennis and Barbara,
Hope springs eternal in a parent's heart.
After some twenty years as a single father of two young men, I married a woman coming out of a bout of breast cancer. She claims that her four cancer cures were, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and a divorce. Her first marriage was thirty years of mental/emotional abuse from an adult victim of a sexually abusive childhood. she spent most of her latter years in that marriage wedging herself between her hostile husband, and her youngest son, his chosen target for animosity.
Now, years later, her son is thirty-something, unable to retain any kind of normal, healthy interpersonal relationships. He expects negativity from me, and, thus, 'twists ' any of my statements of opinion, or, offerings of positive advice, into verbal attacks. He interrupts with astoundingly unreasonable oblique references to an imagined animosity on my part. And, just yesterday, tried to instigate a physical altercation with me,(cursing,posing, verbal goadings…),knowing that his mother would fall into her traditional role of his protector and place herself between us.
Through much prayer empowered with praise, combined with a single father's experiences in life and family therapy, I am made to think that my step-son is indeed congenitally, and mentally impaired.
He is a convicted felon,(drug sales), unrepentant, and full of anger. I can only pray for his serenity and Salvation from a distance, as he is unatainable to me.
I cannot sleep at night when he is in my house. He has broken the air of serenity and spiritual gratitude that Jesus has blessed us with…
Your reminder to us as married man and wife, having forsaken all others to come together, is apreciated.
I hope that you might have more suggestions as to how my step-son and I can free ourselves from this animosity.
Yesterday, when step-son was "trying to start a fight", I sensed as I observed his and his Mother's actions, in positioning of themselves, and how he waited until he was safely squared off with his mother between us before his verbal hazing became more profane and less respectfull,(ahem…), that they were going through a series of motions that they had been practicing for a long time with 'someone else'. Later that evening when the boy wasn't around, Jo Anne,(MOM), confirmed my suspicions. Now, I am made to think that this young man is a manipulator with a plan for agitation, taught him by his father.
I also am made to think that thirty years of standing between two people that one loves more than all others as they rage hatred at each other can cause cancer. Jo Anne's first husband, is out of the picture, but I'm here, and step-son only knows animosity in a father-figure, so, he will attempt to enrage me, so MOM can show him that he's still 'her little boy' when the "Three-in-a-row Screamers" are lined up.
I'm afraid that avoidance will be the only tool that help me get along with my step-son, Forrets.

We've got Hops!
Hops, Humulus lupulus, are fast-growing perennial vines that grow from the ground to 25' inside of a single season. The alpha-acids in hop flowers are used to add bitterness and aroma to beer. They also protect against spoilage from bacteria during the brewing process and act as a natural filter to clarify beer.
In addition to their important place in brewing, hops are quite decorative and can make an excellent screen during summer and fall months. Hop roots expand fast, so allow plenty of space!
We are excited to stock a huge selection this year, with several new additions, including Sorachi Ace, Crystal and Yakima Gold!

We visited the Capri with a family group. In the past, we had stayed at a hotel up the street but wanted to be closer to town. The first thing you notice about the Capri is how neat and clean everything is. The staff is constantly working to keep the property nice for their guests and it shows. Service was very attentive at the front desk when we were booking the rooms and while we visited the hotel. The rooms are a bit dated, but very clean. We also noticed it was quiet in the rooms at night, which made for a good night's sleep. The view is spectacular, there are great restaurants near by and shopping is a short walking distance. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience and we would definitely return to the Capri.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- We are seaside accommodations located directly across the street from Cape Mays beautiful beaches. We offer a family friendly environment for the whole family to enjoy while vacationing. Enjoy the pool, BBQ on the grill, play ping pong and shuffleboard or just take in the wonderful view of the beach. We offer efficiencies, suites and townhouse in the historic town of Cape May, NJ. ... more less

A few months ago I did this Stairway to Heaven quilt tutorial for Moda Bakeshop. I did not finish it via quilt as-you-go as I normally do, so I ended up with a quilt top that sat in my sewing nook for months.
I love quilt as-you-go because there's a sense of pride you get when you can say you finished an entire quilt all on your own (plus the quickness of Quilt As-You-Go Made Modern is always a plus), but I still enjoy making quilts the traditional way as well. That being said, I can end up with unfinished quilt tops laying around. Anyone else guilty of this? ;)
To my timely luck, my good friend Monica (owner of The West Seattle Fabric Company), just opened machine quilting services in her shop. Monica asked me if I had anything laying around that I needed to just get done and so I jumped at the opportunity to get this quilt finished, once and for all! One less work-in-progress, right?!
So after months of my sad quilt top folded up in my sewing nook, I bundled it up, dropped it off at her shop with high hopes, and...
...VOILA! Within 10 days my quilt was finished. Monica did a beautiful job, and took such great care of my quilt! She quilted the cutest hearts with edge to edge machine quilting.
What was refreshing about The West Seattle Fabric Company's machine quilting services was the super fast turnaround time. Their goal is to get your quilt back to you within 10 days. They are able to accomplish this via straight forward, edge to edge quilting options.
All you would do is mail in your quilt top and backing (or choose a backing from their shop - they have minky and flannel options for the backing fabric, too!), and then they'll mail your quilt back to you within 10 days. Super simple. That's how I like it!
I love to share my quilting experiences with you all, and this was a very good one! I'm really looking forward to getting a quilt finished with minky backing. I'll let you know how that goes once it happens. :)HERE. And for more details on The West Seattle Fabric Co.'s machine quilting services, visit HERE - and check back for online quilting services coming soon!
online. My son and I are frequent visitors.
And with that, I leave you with Paige =)

Is it time to give up?
Long time lurker here, but have been gardening for several years.
I tried winter sowing peppers and tomatoes last year for the first time and loved it! This year though with all the rain, lack of sun, and cold temperatures, my winter sown peppers and tomatoes have not come up and it's been over a month.
I started seeds around the same time as last year. I know last year was unusually warm so I shouldn't compare my results, but how do I know when to give up? Are the seeds in my containers still good at this point? Or, should I start over?
Thanks in advance for your responses.
I hope someone else can speak to "veggie seeds" but I can tell you that only about half of my WS flower jugs seeds are "up" yet (and when I say up, I mean miniscule sprouts in many...)
It's cold! Seeds are smart... they germinate when they are ready. They are waiting for it to really feel like spring. I wouldn't give up yet!
In zone 5, especially with warm weather plants like tomatoes, it's nowhere near time to give up. When we've had consistent temps above 60 and at least a few all day sunny days, then things will start to pop. Be patient. This really has been a slow year. Everything is very late.
Yes, my sprouts are about 2 weeks late this year. I've only got 5 containers sprouting out of 132 so far, last year by this time there were probably dozens.
I did sow a lot of trees and shrubs this year, which are a real wild card - some may require 2 years to sprout, or not sprout at all... :-/
I'm in 5a IL and I haven't even sown my tender annuals like tomatoes yet because it has been so cool. I may work on them this week though. Last year everything was extremely early and this year things are later than usual. I wouldn't use last year to gauge anything since it was SO unusual. I only have a handful of containers with sprouts and that was only after moving them into full sun.
I WS for the first time last year as well and now I feel spoiled by the results. If this year was my first WS year I think I might have thrown in the towel. Though with the suuuper slow start this year, I do find myself wondering how WS vs started indoors would have done in a side by side comparison. I think my WS tomatoes are going to be at least a month behind what they could have been if started inside.
I just got my first sprouts, I've had sprouts on my chocolate cherry tom seeds for about a week, and finally one more peek of green out of the Gold Medal toms. Nothing else. Even my spinach hasnt come up!!
So as a quasi-newbie myself, I'll say I'm not throwing my jugs out by any means, but that i'm tempted to start at least a few indoors so that I'm not faced with transplanting inch tall seedings after our frost-free date and running into problems with not cropping before the fall frosts, especially if we frost early this year.
What most of us have found is that wintersown seedlings may emerge later than inside under lights (because they are waiting for warm soil), but they catch up very quickly and are stockier with leaves interval closer together and without the damp off and hardening off problems.
Spring has been late over a lot of the country, but eventually the soil will be 70 degrees and everything will be jumping out.
The only seedlings I have out in bulk right now are jacobs ladder and forget me nots. Even the foxglove seedlings are microscopic. But I can almost hear the seeds holding their breath before leaping out.
The hippie in me is philosophically attracted to the idea that the seeds know best. But I'm wondering if "forcing" them with a few days in indoor temps until seedlings emerge might not be a fine idea. My thinking is something like this, and only refers to weather dependent seedlings, not daylength ones.
weather-dependent seedlings respond to environmental temperatures. But environmental temperatures vary widely from year to year and without obvious patterns. All my tomatoes that burst out in the 80 degree weather we got last March didnt magically "know" that the rest of the spring was going to be fantastic. And indeed we got plenty of hard frosts after that warm streak, including right up to our 90% CI last frost date of May 11th (Z5). But my tomato seedlings were tall and stocky and robust and grew fine through those frosts inside their little WS recyclable "greenhouses."
So why shouldnt I simulate that freak warm spell by bringing them in after a period of cold strat, and then right back outside as soon as they start to sprout? My understanding of what makes seedlings robust, stocky and free from hardening off is that depends on everything that happens AFTER they break the seed-coat and decide to give life a go. So if I bring them in until green peeks and then back outside in their jugs, wouldnt that be just as if Mother Nature decided to give me two days of 72 degree weather and then go back to the 50s?
Someone who knows more than me tell me why this is a terrible idea, otherwise I'm going to start experimenting...
I'd say experiment. In fact, I just put a great white seed in a pot in my garden window because that and the stupice are the only tomatoes out of 13 ws varieties that have not sprouted, and I really like Great Whites.
And for Jade, my tomatoes went out Feb. 2 and Feb. 5 and they just started sprouting about a week and a half ago when the temps got into the 60s (with one 80+ day thrown in), so a month is not time to give up, especially in a colder zone.
The stupice were new, commercial seeds so I'm not sure what's going on with them, but the Great Whites were about four years old so I'm going to try coddling one inside, at least till it sprouts. Then maybe I'll give emcd's suggestion a whirl and put it right outside.
I just noticed tomato sprouts today. Go figure since today is really cool compared to what the rest of April has been like (getting down in the 30s tonight). I sowed my seeds around the last week in March. Doing the happy dance because I was afraid I maybe "cooked" my seeds a couple weekends ago when it got over 75 and my containers were in full sun. Yes St. Louis weather can be all over the place. After that I moved them to my covered porch that is filtered shade.
I read somewhere that tomato seeds like 3 warm/cool cycles before they will germinate. Though I can't say whether or not I have noticed this to be true. Still a newbie when it comes to WS tomatoes.
Remember that when you see a spout, the germination process has been going on for a day or so. In some cases it can take weeks or months. I think I saw a video of Trillium germination that took several months. So, the weather on the day you actually see the sprout may not be telling the whole story. Of course, there are many seeds that will germinate very quickly, as well. It's part of that fascinating miracle of science.
Most of my tomatoes came up over the course of two weeks and one straggler just popped up a few days ago. Now I'm waiting for second leaves, which an internet search said can take about a month. It's been nearly that long and the cherokee purples are beginning second leaves and hopefully the rest are soon to follow.

Ethnic Mapping: Prophylactic Or Offensive?
By editor
After the terrorist attacks on 9/11, some law enforcement agencies adapted crime mapping tactics into what is known as ethnic mapping. Some Muslims welcome ethnic mapping as a useful approach to preventing terrorism. Others say the surveillance amounts to domestic spying and racial profiling.

puffin, you can put multiple photos in one post if you use a photo-hosting site like Photobucket or flickr.
Or you can always add a second post with another photo ... and a third post and.... (If the software tells you that's impossible, just change the title in the Subject of Posting box. The software gets paranoid sometimes and thinks you're trying to do multiple copies of the same post; changing the title relieves the software of that worry.)

I just found your question doing a search for Garrison floors. I brought home a sample of "The Garrison Collection - Maple Carbonized Cappuccino" yesterday, not sure if it's the same as your's. We like the look, but had never heard of the company - What did you find out about it? Are you planning to use it? Thanks!
All I've been told is that the Garrison Maple Cappuccino floors are beautiful, but it's the flooring store people who told me that :-) I have not heard from anyone who actually has the floor, but I think we're going to go with it. The flooring people did send me some pictures of the hand-scraped Maple Cappuccion (we're going with the smooth) and it looks nice. I'm kind of a computer novice and it's taking me too long to figure out how to post the pictures I have, but if I can figure it out I'll post them for you.
I have the Garrison II white oak Autumn in the distressed pattern and just love it. We did our family room, kitchen, dining area and dining room almost 2 years ago and last Sept put it in 2 bedrms.We have 2 cats, and a 5 year old boy plus us in the house and still looks great. Easy to care for. Very reasonable, paid about $3.25 sf for the flooring not including installation.

Anyone think there will be any?
If they're smart.
Do yourself a favor. Watch "Ancient Aliens" on The History Channel. The original 2 hour special, and the new series.
There will be
will it be "on-line" or "split-screen" co-op, or HOPEFULLY, both...?!
"The mind is like a parachute, it only works if it's open."
I also want to know if it is online or off. I don't like to play offline co-op so hopefully they have online.
I would rather have both. As when my dudes are over I like to play splitscreen. Its pretty bad that everything has gone into the online era (which I love don't get me wrong) and forgotten about local splitscreen. I hope its a option..but it won't be. As far as this game having co-op overall..it only makes sense so hopefully.
Oh lord that would be beyond words sweet if there will be a co-op mode.
Play something new for a change and foremost a game where you can bind your time, strategically, carefully and taking out the tangos.
Heck I and my clan wingman will get this one.
Stockholm Island Thunder
so the splitscreen will be like COD:MW2 or RBS: Vegas 2?
actually i think there will be co-op. both splitscreen and online
I have been wanting to be a sniper since i was 11 years old and ive done a lot of research them. Every sniper is almost always required to have 1 partner known as a spotter. The spotter basically just uses like a telescope and tells the shooter coordinates, wind speed, length of the shot, and so forth...
So I believe there will be co-op
Gamer Tag: ChocolateCow12
"It's simple, we uh..... kill the Batman"
The spotter is also the more experienced sniper..as well. Either way though both the sniper and the spotter take turns on the scope. Co-op only makes sense. I als ohope it is split-screen. I do not have a xbox and I doubt my pc would be able to run it. As I am hoping to heck it comes to ps3. Chrome engine has the tools to do it..I have no idea why its not. IF you want to be a sniper choc...all branches of the military usually have some form of a marksman unit. With the exception of the air force..I do not believe they have a sniper unit lol.

Looks like a "sell the news" pop.
I don't know about your math, but buying at the open seemed like a no brainer to me. Got a bunch this morning @13.25, which is right at recent support. Also seems like oil has found nice bottom support. Gotta think this goes munch much higher from here.
Might see a gap in the morning, but without follow-up news, as you say...I think it does drift way down from these levels. How much I don't know, but 2-3 dollars is not out of the question. I think most of the volume today was from day traders. not investors. When the price stops rising the traders will move on, leaving a lot folks holding a bag.
Yes, I've been on and off the board for a while. I don't pay much attention to those self-proclaimed experts who claim to have predicted every positive move a stock may experience. I bought a modest position here @6.59 avg. Plan on holding a few years at least or until oil prices get back close to where they were. Only the naïve would believe oil will stay at these levels for a period on years. There will be bumpy times ahead, but I feel much better knowing DNR is run by top notch mangers.
It's so nice to know these guys know what they're doing. I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see the share price ascend into the 10's before not too long.
but I am pretty sure that the bottom is near if it hasn't reached it already. I am very certain that oil will return to multi-year highs at some point in the future. Whether it's in few months or a few years, it WILL happen. One thing we can count on is for every barrel extracted is one barrel less in the ground. As oi8l gets harder to find, it will require more expensive methods to get it out, which will make these companies excellent investments going forward. I'm initiating small long position in several companies, of which DNR is one. A year from now I'm sure I'll be a very happy investor.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/09/13 --
-- Inmet shareholders offered consideration of C$72.00 per Inmet share with the opportunity of electing First Quantum shares, cash or a combination thereof resulting in an aggregate consideration mix of approximately 50% in First Quantum shares and 50% in cash, allowing for the opportunity to realize immediate cash return while retaining exposure to a major international and widely owned copper mining company with strong growth prospects. -- Offer values Inmet at approximately C$5.1 billion and represents a premium of 65% to Inmet's underlying equity value, excluding net cash of C$1.9 billion, as of 23 November, 2012, the last trading day prior to First Quantum's submission of its most recent proposal to Inmet's Board.
-- Creation of a new industry leading, globally diversified base metals company with a balanced portfolio of seven producing mines and four world class development projects in eight countries across all continents with a projected industry leading growth profile in copper. -- First Quantum's demonstrated project execution, reflecting its in house engineering project management and construction expertise, gives it the confidence that it can bring significant improvements to Inmet's major project, Cobre Panama, for the benefit of all shareholders in the enlarged group.
First Quantum Minerals Ltd. ("First Quantum") (TSX:FM)(LSE:FQM) today announced that it has formally commenced its offer (the "Offer") to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Inmet Mining Corporation ("Inmet", TSX Symbol "IMN") for total consideration of approximately C$5.1 billion by mailing the takeover bid circular and related documents required to be sent to Inmet shareholders under applicable Canadian securities laws and filing such documents with Canadian securities regulators.
Under the terms of the Offer, each Inmet shareholder will have the option to elect to receive consideration per Inmet share of (i) C$72.00 in cash or (ii) 3.2967 First Quantum shares, or (iii) a mix of C$36.00 in cash plus 1.6484 First Quantum shares, subject to a maximum aggregate cash consideration of approximately C$2.5 billion and a maximum aggregate number of First Quantum shares issued of approximately 115.9 million, representing an overall mix of approximately 50% First Quantum shares and 50% cash.
The share exchange ratio and total consideration value have been calculated based on First Quantum's closing share price as of 23 November 2012, the last trading day prior to First Quantum's submission of its most recent proposal to Inmet's Board.
Philip Pascall, CEO and Chairman of First Quantum, said:
"I believe this combination creates a uniquely attractive, large, liquid and high growth copper focused company. First Quantum and Inmet are very complementary in terms of their copper focus. I see the combination of the two companies creating not only a new global leader in copper, but also one of the most exciting, 'must-own' companies in the global mining sector.
We are taking the significant step of making this proposal directly to Inmet shareholders and requesting their support for what, together, we know can be achieved. We invite Inmet shareholders to participate in this vision and to become shareholders in this most exciting new venture."
Benefits of the Offer:
-- A significant premium of: i. 65 percent to Inmet's underlying equity value (adjusted for net cash balance of C$1.9 billion on Inmet's balance sheet, or C$26 per Inmet Share) as of November 23, 2012, the last trading day prior to First Quantum's submission of its most recent proposal to Inmet's Board; and ii. 35 percent to the 30-day VWAP and 33 percent to the closing share price, of the Inmet shares on the TSX on November 23, 2012 -- Creation of a premier, globally diversified base metals company with: i. A geographically diversified operating platform comprised of seven producing mines and four world-class development projects ii. Enhanced scale, liquidity and industry presence through its rapidly expanding copper production footprint with the capacity to deliver, according to third party research analyst estimates, in excess of 1.3 million tonnes of copper production per annum by 2018, which would make the combined entity a top five copper producer iii.Enhanced financial profile with greater liquidity, greater free cash flow generation ability and enhanced flexibility to raise capital when necessary at a lower long term cost of capital -- Creation of a new global leader focused on copper with industry leading copper production growth, based upon third party research analyst projections, of over 24 percent, compounded annually, from 2012 to 2018, driven by a strong pipeline of low capital intensity development projects and low cost expansions of existing operating assets. -- Opportunity to benefit from the implementation of First Quantum's unique and proven approach to project construction at the Cobre Panama Project, in respect of which Mr. Pascall commented: "Our in-house expertise and technical competencies have translated into a real competitive advantage. These unique technical capabilities have allowed us to construct projects at a fraction of the cost achieved by our peers. We deliver on our promises to meet budget, to be on time, to attain rapid commissioning to commercial production and to achieve absolute production targets. Our commitment is to apply these skills to Cobre Panama, creating an opportunity for all shareholders to benefit substantially."
Commenting further on the Offer, Mr. Pascall said:
"First Quantum's Board of Directors believes that a combination of the two companies would be an industry defining event and one of the most exciting opportunities in copper for many years. We hope that you share our enthusiasm and respectfully request your support and urge you to tender your Inmet shares in acceptance of our offer."
