There's a reason, gn-ze, why GfinS is a ***former*** counselor... Ya' see, she has these spells... Kinda like Turrets Syndrome where she is boppin' along makin' some sense and then... Bang!!!... Things go bad for her...

BTW, for the few folks who have canceled their high dollar satellite service in lieu of "As Bobert's World Burns" here is the latest chapter... Lizzie, you might need to either skip this one or have a stiff drink in front of you but...

...for the last few days the P-Vine and step-ie have not been talking because of the 'lazy' comment but today, with the work he did, there was an opportunity, though short lived, for them to talk and apparently d-i-l is demanding an...

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((drum roll)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

...an apology from the P-Vine??????????????????????????????????????

Well, the P-Vine got a call so I walked out the door with the phone just in time to hear her say to step-ie, "No!!! She owes me an apology.."

So I handed her the phone, step-ie walked back in the house and that was that and now step-ie and d-i-l are once again sequestered in their cell to plot the next move...

Me??? I got cold beer and looks as if I'm the only one in the house who everyone trusts...

That's about it for now, folks...

You don't treat your parent/parents this way, gnu.

You either love them, in which case you do all you can to help them. Or you don't give a darn about them, for whatever reason, in which case you simply stay right away from them.

What you don't do is *use* them, and allow your lazy young wife to be rude, lazy and insolent to the very people who are keep a roof over her head.

Sorry, but men who don't pay for the financial support of their children sicken me. I don't care what his ex-wife is like, he is the father of his children and therefore deeply responsible for them. How do you think it will make his children feel about themselves, knowing their father doesn't want to support them? It will affect them all their lives.

And he's been talking of having more children with his new wife.. ????

This man needs a serious kick up the backside, as does the little madam he married.

He's causing pain all round to a helluva lot of people whilst only thinking of himself and the sex he gets from his little Doll..

Ship out, mate..and take her with you..

I know times are hard, but hell, you all pull together, or not at all, and he's chosen the 'not at all' part...therefore, he's forfeited his Mother's love, in my book.

You NEVER abuse Love, ever. He's got many lessons to learn.

Well. Lizzie, you are 100% correct on all fronts... He is in denial.. He has screwed up his life and in doing so is screwing up his kids lives as well as the life of his barely-20-year-old wife who was still living at home when they meat 1 1/2 ago... Yes, he has some severe emotional problems that he can hide fairly well...

All in all, we have done the right thing... I'm just praying that the light at the end of the tunnel isn't a train coming at us...

"I think getting you to sign for the $250 was the final straw in his despicable nature, to be honest. He has no self-respect, no pride, no love for his children.."

Well, now, hang on a minute. Maybe he is doin it as a last resort, no matter how he got in the position he's in. My post regarding this was a joke which I thought was obvious. Scratcin a dollar out of the government (which spends billions on war and yer ferriner "aid") when yer hard put ain't necessarily despicable... it might be a matter of "doin what ya gotta do".

Yeah, I know he ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer, but you ain't inside his head. Maybe the boy is just stunned as me arse. To wit, so far... it's either that or he is a lazy, manipulative... right, enough of that.

From Alan Prosser's FB page:

"Don't let someone become a Priority in your life, when you are just an Option in theirs."

I'm so ashamed of this man. 40+ years old and he's behaving like this. His Mum should kick him out and tell him never to darken her door step again.

Just because she's his son does NOT give him the right to behave like this. His young wife is irrelevant really. It is her son who is the one who has brought all of this on to you Bobert.

He doesn't care about his children. He doesn't care about his ex-wife. He doesn't care about his mother.

Is there something wrong with him? Or, is he just an Absolute Bastard?

If he were my child I'd kick him out. It would break my heart to be used in such a way.

I think getting you to sign for the $250 was the final straw in his despicable nature, to be honest. He has no self-respect, no pride, no love for his children..and a man who won't support his children, CHOOSES not to support them, I presume to 'get at his ex-wife' is the lowest of the low in my book.

Personally, I'd not believe a word he says. He's untrustworthy and utterly selfish...

Motor scooter - Piaggio 150 Fly - under $3,000 new, top speed 61 and looks and sounds like a hairdryer? What sort of "high end" is that? I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than be seen on one of those. Won't he have to pay people to take it away?

By the way Bobster, are you SURE it's on ebay. I only get one Piaggio up in a search on ebay.com in the motorcycle section and it's new and discounted so it ain't the scrounger's. If it is, post the item number and we can all drive him potty with silly questions...

So, step-ie and d-i-l have done the math and step-ie now wants to put in a full day of housework... Well, not exactly "wants" but understands that the ice is thin... That's good thing... Or progress... I'm sure that he had to run it by "the princess" but he's crafty enough to get her to sign off on it...

We'll see how that works out today as he stated that he's ready to get going early, as in 8:30 (am)... BTW, 8:30 (am) is very early for the kids... Might of fact, "am" is early for them...

Meanwhile, he has 24 hours left on his motor scooter in ebay and if it sells then the kids will have the $$$ to move to fairyland so if anyone out there is lookin' for a high end (what else???) Piaggo 150 Fly motor scooter then bid, bid, bid...

Stay tuned for the next chapter of "As Bobert's World Burns"...

Wow, Bobert... just WOW!

Seems to me that last update of yours could well make an A#1 case study on how the US has gotten into the fix it is in...

Makes me think of my Dad, who used to teach Political Science at a local (i.e. Detroit-area) university. I still remember him telling me that on the first day of class he would ask, "So... since we're going to be talking about the government, what can you tell me about what impact the government has on your lives?"

After all the complaints about taxes, regulations, etc, he would ask if they could think of anything the government does FOR them. Routinely, no-one could think of anything... so he would start asking questions about the roads they drove to school on that morning, the class they happened to be sitting in (offered by the (state-funded) uni), the public schools they attended when they were younger, the regulations concerning clean food and drinking water, and/or concerning the structural safety of the building they were sitting in, etc, etc, etc. (He did not tell them the government provides these things; he just kept asking questions until they started to realise themselves...)

In general, the students were all acutely (bitterly, even) aware of the government's "negative" effects on them (taxes, "stupid" laws, etc.) and almost completely ignorant/unaware of the things they relied on every day without even thinking about them.

And here's step-ie (and d-i-l?) who hate(s) the government (and would no doubt say it's largely because "their" tax money shouldn't go to help folks who don't "deserve" it), but/so(?) it's OK to lie, cheat the government (while letting others pay to support step-ie's kids) and break the rules, all the while expecting it to provide them with what they "need" (i.e. expensive bottled water & snack foods, an apartment in the upscale part of town, etc.)

A bit like taking for granted everything Mom/Bobert do for them and getting angry if they are expected (and/or reminded) to contribute anything themselves...

Absolutely breathtaking! No wonder we are in trouble, folks.

Hi Bobert, I know you might think that virtually anything I post, you'll want to 'take issue' with...however, it would seem to me, and seem to be fair, for all concerned, that 'punishing P-vine', while you two are extending your 'hospitality', so that they can facilitate fraud, is a bit beyond the pale! I, if it were me, would put my foot down, and give them an ultimatum....Knock it off, show some manners, some integrity, or get the fuck out.....this way, it gives THEM the choice to call their 'own' shots, or reap the consequences. if they are going to inhabit your home, you tell them you WILL NOT enable bad, rude, or dishonest behavior. You will not be intimidated, blackmailed, or pressured to extend any further 'charity' to them, if the persist in inappropriate, or fraudulent behavior, or if they attempt to take control of any sort, as long as they are under YOUR roof!....and resolve within yourselves, to give them the boot IMMEDIATELY unless they demonstrate respectful behavior, to you two, who are ASSISTING them through a difficult time...and let them know, that the decision is THEIRS.
In other words, straighten up, fly right, or take it somewhere else, buckos!
I think YOU and P-Vine have the home court advantage...and should not be subjected to their bullying tactics, just so they can manipulate you two, for their personal self indulgences (as I mentioned before).
I wish you two the best of results!

If this weren't happening to real people, Beaubear, it would be most entertaining. But itis real so it is not funny.

I think you put your finger on it when you said d-i-l is acting 14 years old and step-ie - seeing as how it works - has joined her in that mindset.

It appears that stepanddil are in a power play - just like 14-year olds - and since you won't play the game it has brought them to desperation.

Incidentally, claiming to the authorities that they are contributing a monthly $250 to the household when they are doing nothing of the sort is illegal. Being a rushhead should inform them that making false claims is immoral in addition...

Well, Eb... Just for you...

So since Step-ie and d-i-l quit using any of their money to put a few peas in the pot, yet have "saved" enough to supposedly put a deposit down on an apartment and continue to buy bottles water and sweets for themselves we have gone to buying the cheapest of cheap staples... Like $1.50 a box generic corn flakes... So, step-ie comes to me today with a statement to sign saying that they are contributing $250 a month toward food and household expenses so thar step-ie and d-i-l can get...

...drum roll here...

...Food Stamps???

Here's a Rush-head who hates the government, right???

Well, I signed the thing because I'm still in good cop mode but seein' as step-ie is punishing the P-Vine for calling his oldest daughter, opps, wife, "lazy" he's not talking with her so good luck on the other signature, step-ie...

Meanwhile, to further punish the P-Vine the kids are trying to look as if they are on a hunger strike... Problem is that soon as we turn in at night they come out of their cell and eat and eat and eat???

I've been walking the P-Vine thru this little childish ballgame of theirs and we actually have concocted a counter-offense... Yesterday, while they were out trying to get money from the government they hate, the P-Vine called step-ie's ex and unbeknownst to step-ie and d-i-l, the grandkids can't come back here to visit until step-ie an d-i-l have moved... The reasoning is tight... When they cone here step-ie and d-i-l take them to the cell, everyone watches movies and eats and we don't see the grand youngins for 5 minutes over the entire weekend... If we go out they trash the house and then once they go back to their mom d-i-l refuses to clean up after the visit so the P-Vine and I get stuck with the clean-up... This is what brought the P-Vine to call d-i-l "lazy" in the first place???

Now here's today's kicker... Seems that step-ie used the kids on last year's tax return even though he didn't see them but a couple weekends and so he got a tax credit and large check from the government he hates of about $8000 in low income credits, etc... The I.R.S. didn't question - or hasn't to date - that aspect but is questioning $4000 in unemployment that the state of Georgia reported... Stepie says he didn't receive that much and is fighting the government that he hates over it... Hmmmmm??? Given the $900 the I.R.S. wants back verses opening that entire can of worms which could land step-ie in jail, a smarter step-ie might just work out a paymnet plan rather than go to jail by fighting with people he hates???

I donno???

So, Eb... How'd you like this installment of "As Bobert's World Burns"???

Bobert: "Well, GfinS, of course you are 100% correct... "

Hey, maybe, just maybe, families will start to take care of each other, and that means the kids, as well, start taking care of their elder parents, and stop relying on the 'State'...imagine that!
Naw, their priorities are 'texting' and hanging out at their parents place, 'cuz it's cheaper..and spending their money on their self indulgences, and 'toys'....but then we raised them that way, huh?

Well, GfinS, of course you are 100% correct... Unfortunately, this ain't us... We'll ride it out a little longer and see if we can come out of with "grace" and no regrets for how we handled things...

BTW, ya'll... Step-ie has prepared a check list for the move and left it on the kitchen counter so...

...who knows???

Correction: (from my previous post)

"....that's right up your ally!"

Should read: "..that's right up your alley!"

Well, "the kids" returned from play day about 6 this evening and rather than say hey they made a bee line to their room... Then step-ie had to come down for something in the kitchen and tried to get there without the P-Vine or i knowin' it so the P-Vine, being the mother that she is, went in and told him that they could warm up some leftovers to which step-ie said "no thanks, I'm having some plumbing issues..."

So the P-Vine and I went to bed but couldn't get to sleep so I just got up to see if yackin' to my friends might make me sleepy and sounds like Step-ie has recovered from plumbing issues as both are in their room watching tv an munching on stuff???

Musta been the 2 hour flu??? Actually, d-i-l is scared to be around the P-Vine now that the P-Vine called her a lazy child???

So there ya'll have it... Another chapter of "As Bobert's World Burns"...

Good idea Richard, LOL.

I like to think I would be as patient as you Bobert if I faced a comparable situation. It's clear that your love for P-Vine is your priority.

I don't think you can insist she listens to your CD - but if she doesn't like it you could put it on repeat in your CD player and TURN IT UP!

Well, step-ie and his 3 little girls have left to take the two youngest back to the ex...

Things a tad funky around here... I think that step-ie has some idea that his mom is mad because step=ie has stepped into a monster shit-trap and he has to know it... I mean, this girl acts like a stuck up 14 year old... Everything is 100% about her..

Igave her one on my CDs a month ago but has she taken 45 minutes away from her precious TV watching to listen to it??? Heck no, she hasn't... I find that not only insensitive but down right disrespectful...

But I'll play good cop as long as I can hold up if it means getting these children out..
