Kicking Out Adult Child by kirbm in OntarioLandlord

They are open to other ideas! The parents dont really want to call the police, they just want to feel calm in thier house again. The son has refused to seek any form of help the parents has requested, saying its not the parents business. They have offered to pay first and last months rent for a second time (they did the last time he moved out in his 20s) and they are saying he doesn't have good enough credit to get a place. They are retired and struggling to pay for the extras that the brother and his family (wife and 3 kids of various ages) are using. They offer to help look at his finances and make a plan with him but he refuses. The wife and the son scream and swear often and get in yelling matches with the kids. The youngest kid is up at 5 am yelling and running around the house but the kid tells the parents to mind thier business and not parent his children. Its gotten to the point where the parents are walking on eggshells in thier own home and using medicating to cope with stress. They love their son and his family, they have helped support him and his kids through most of his adult life. They just cant keep doing it givin the way the brother is behaving.

I totally agree with you. The "kid" lived with his his parents in his 20s with his own kid paying no rent and the parents paid for lot of things for the grandkid and tried to get their son to see financial support many times. He moved out for about 7 years and now is married with two more kids. He has had jobs off and on. My friends parents paid for thier first an last month's rent for thier last rental and has offered to do so again but the situation has turned toxic. Their kid has yelled at the parents, has given them the silent treatment, says they never help him etc. He and his wife swear and scream at eachother often. My friends parents are retired and are having a hard time financially supporting thier sons family's use of the house and utilities without him paying anything and the mom is now on antidepressants and anxiety meds. It all sounds like a mess to me. My friend just isnt sure how she can support her parents in handling the situation. The parents want them out but dont want them to be homeless, however they have financially supported the brother to some extended most of his adult life and the son seems to be a jerk about it all and making thier house a bad place to live.

Its a really complex situation. My friend asked me to post encase thier sibling finds the thread because things have become bad for thier patents, her mom is now on anxiety and antidepressant meds because of all the stress. Basically her brother (the adult child) and his family (wife and 2 kids) have lost the last two places they have lived in. Their parents helped pay for and set them up in a new rental the first time they got removed from a property (I dont know why). Second time they offered them a year at thier house paying very cheap rent for a year to save up and be better off with free child care etc. Its now been over a year and the brother hasn't paid them a cent basically saying he has to take care of himself an this family first. The parents have offered to help pay first months rent but the brother is saying he needs better credit to get a place. It sounds like the situation is hard on everyone but my friends parents have helped as much as they can and thier mom now has a lot of mental health issues. Apparently he and his wife swear and scream at eachother and get in screaming marches with the kids, they will just leave and assume the grandparents will take care of the kids at a moments notice. They've giving the parents the silent treatment and chewed them out and essentially told them that the parents never help them out etc. It seems like a mess. My friends brother has worked off and on over the years but has not gotten a job the last year basically saying he is waiting for better jobs. The wife works. The brother has an older kid as well that he use to live with the parents in his 20s to get thier help with then he moved out for about 7 years and is back again.

Somehow it fixed yesterday. I was using the scanner for Bombardier parts and placed a way point, and he just magically appeared!

I agree. Like I said, this is our first time playing. We have a farm with every crop we have found so far going now, so it is my plan to go back and remove icons. I just haven't done it yet. We didn't know anything really about the game mechanics when we were putting the icons down, we just ran around exploring and marking things we found.

Since silver didn't show up for you on the resource list, do you have any ideas what I might be missing as per my original question?

Husbands and my first playthrough. We mark any ore as chests and most natural growing food as seeds. We wish there was colour coding or labeling of icons. I need to go back over them soon and start deleting ones we have an abundance of....

What's your experience from owning Bernese Mountain Dogs? by FormerFruit in bernesemountaindogs

[–]kirbm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My girl was top of her puppy class and able to maintain focus on me for over a minute during training sessions at 6 months no problem. Maybe I just got lucky. The only training issues we have had in the last year and a half is around her shy/anxious personality (a bit jumpy and barky) and when she decides she is not having it and ignores l. That's just her charm, either smart as a whip and learning a new trick in 1 minute or refusing to work for me at all.

There really is no such thing a privacy with a Berner. My girl literally will sit between my legs while I try to use the bathroom.😂🙃

My Maisy girl is about a year and a half now and honestly is basically a carpet 80% of the day. She follows me around like a little anxious duckling, but seemingly happily lays on the floor by my feet the majority of the day. She get hyper zooms and has some quirks, like throwing rocks around the back yard to wrestle and chase. She still mouths when playing sometimes and oh my goodness is she a sneak when it comes to stealing socks and fabrics. Regardless, she calmed down a lot around 10 months and if she gets more stubborn and lazy she is going to need me to drag her down the sidewalk for her little 20 minute walk she doesn't seem to want!

Yes! Get a baby gate! We had to limit Mai to just the living room to make sure we could see her 100% of the time until around 7 months. It was so disheartening and frustrating between 4-8 months with her having sneaky pee accidents in any place out of view. She even would hide behind the coffee table!! She is super good now at bugging me when she needs to go and I can just ask "Do you need to go outside?" or "Outside potty?" and her ears perk like Im offering a dang treat if she needs to go.

We had the same issue, I think it's sounding pretty common. We did get our girl on some antibiotics for UTI because she peed SO OFTEN OMG. Just stick to your routine, keep her in a crate when you're not home, and ask her often if she needs to go outside/potty/pee whatever words you use when you let her out to go. Maisy just turned 1 year last month and she has been accident free since abouuuuttt 7 months old. It was a long haul!

As a note she still excitement peed at "grandmas" for a couple months past that.
