my parents are driving me nuts!!!!! cdoulatiff: :( I am soooo lost. My parents invited the kids and I to live with them a year ago so that I could go back to school. Of course there were some ground rules set.
It's bad though. I was almost kicked out because my mother didn't like the way I organized my daughter's dresser. She also doesn't like the way i organize my closet or the toy room. I just don't get it. It's really really bad. I'm talking screaming and cussing bad. My mom said once, in front of my 3 year old son, that I was a dirty pig and will always be that way. Of course both my son and I were in tears. It's as if I'm with my ex all over again. The yelling and namecalling is exactly what he used to do. I would rather live out of my car than have my kids hear the fighting. I am trying to do my best at minding my parents. It's hard though, I am an adult and did live on my own since I was 19. My dad even reminds me to give the kids a nap, and make sure I put them first. I don't understand why they assume I don't take care of the kids, they are the 1st priority in my life and have always been. I don't really know how to handle this situation. any advice?
Sorry if this all doesn't make a ton of sense. I am so frustrated I can't think straight. :'(

Re: my parents are driving me nuts!!!!! penguin: WOW! Sounds like my x-boyfriends mom. I lived with them for a total of 10 months, and the woman drove me crazy! Nothing I do will ever be good enough for her.
Sounds like you need to seriously consider finding another place to stay. No one has the right to tell you how to raise your children. You are their mother, and as long as they are taken care of and not abused, you are doing your job.
I love my mom, and welcome any suggestions. I don't think she'd ever dissown me or anything for not raising my daughter how SHE wants me to. I know we don't agree on everything, but she's still MY daughter and MY responsibility to raise her the best I can. (And I love every minute of it)

leave that house.

Your parents are verbally abusing you and your children are not free from it. Also, they are not allowing you to be a MOM without guilt and their rules.
I don't know your situation, but I cannot imagine any situation that you couldn't walk away from if it was detrimental to you and your children. Unfortunately it sounds as though your parents are disrespectful of you and your kids. Calling someone's Mom a "pig" in front of them is harsh and uncalled for.
Stay with a friend, another relative, get assistance, but I hope you leave there.
It may also save your relationship with your p's in the future.
