Do you throw them out? What are YOUR feelings ? Explain your detachment.

[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 410301, member: 1514"] I am so not the one to ask about detachment. I think I am an entangled mess with my kids. I want to detach and I thought I would have been able to do it with ease when they were younger. Oh boy back when they were teens, I thought I was going to open the door, plant a foot in their ass and kick them out the door. Then I planned to break their plates, burn their beds and fill up their rooms with stuff so they couldnt return home. Ha! Like that happened. The only one that did leave was Jamie and we worried ourselves almost sick the entire time he was in boot camp. The rest of his tour wasnt a whole lot better either...lol. Didnt help he was calling home almost daily after he got out of boot. I think I have detached in different ways with Billy and Cory. I dont worry too awfully much about Billy but Tony is worried to death about the boy. Honestly, I want him out as fast as possible. Tony would keep him here forever. Cory drives me nuts but not as badly as he drives Tony nuts. Mandy drives us both nuts. She is simply a taker and does nothing in return for being here. At least we can get Cory to do something once in a while. Billy wont do a dang thing unless it really benefits him and then he does the most half assed job. Asking him to do something as simple as washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen is useless because he can be counted on to not complete the job and I have to do it over. Cooking is horrible. He will not follow a recipe. Food turns out inedible and then when someone says something to him about it, he blows up and says fine then, I will never cook again. Uhhh...do you want to eat? I think all this junk is passive aggressive behavior to not have to help around the house because then everything is left up to moi! Billy will supposedly have days off and we will go out to do some chores and then when it is time to go home and start the actual cleaning and putting together the meals, well then suddenly his boss will call and he is needed at the store. Ummm...why cant he say no? This isnt a one time thing, its every day. [/QUOTE]
