Suzy didn't need her mother to help raise children just because she had a hearing loss.

Most people here have done it without assistance. Deaf can do anything.

Well, I know I myself needed the help since I could never her my children cry as babies. I never heard my children talk back. I never heard a lot of things, so maybe Suzy did need the help.
 
My mother also needed somewhere to stay. Father died and left her with massive bills to be paid and she had nothing. Brother was taking advantage and I was willing to help her and she helped in return. Why are you against having family help each other?
 
I raised 2 children, and adopted 3...all hearing...and I'm deaf....nah...don't depend upon other people to discipline my kids. That's my job!....
 
I guess I was just wrong in the way I did everything. Maybe I will just drop this and leave. This is ridiculous.

We now know that I can't handle things on my own, that I'm an ignorant dumbass and don't know how to anything.

Got a question. Does a Grandmother who has lived with her child, in-law and grandchildren since the grandchildren's birth have more rights to discipline the grandchildren than the grandmother who has never lived with them?

For example: Suzy and John are married and they have 3 children. Suzy's mother has lived with the family since before the children were born due to Suzy's hearing loss. Grandma helped to raise and rear the children. Has always been involved in their lives. Now John's mother is in the picture and she calls down and hollers at Suzy's mother for reprimanding the children and saying it is the responsibility of the "fat, lazy, good for nothing mother".

What's your take on this?

Seek psychiatric help. No one here is qualified to deal with your problems.

Sorry - don't need one and STOP pushing it on me. You aren't qualified to say that I need professional help. I was asking a simple question and you had to turn it around to suit your agenda.
 
Kristina....it's your and ur husbands job to discipline the children. It causes a lot of problems when the other family members step in to do a job that it urs in the 1st place.....It's happened to me before also...and I firmly reminded the family member "not to cross me or critize my handling of the problem."...It confuses the children also.....but there is nothing wrong with family helping out each other as long as they get along. Personally, I've never been in ur postion....but again, discipline is dealt from the parents.
 
I will just move on from here. Thanks for for answers Rockin'robin. I know we didn't have the most traditional of arrangements, but it did work for us and my kids have had no trouble adjusting. My kids know who the parents are and they know that we are ultimately responsible for them and not my mother.

Let's let this be the end and I will not bring it back up. Obviously it's just the issues of having to live with MIL and things will get better after we move if we can get the money to do so.

I would say that the Grandmother who doesnt live with the family has issues with control. She should be more supportive of Suzy's mother instead of being critical. Sounds like a power struggle or something.

Thinking about my other two ideas for a design I'm working on. I just love these creative moments I've been digging up lately.
 
I am thinking that my parents are great. They are allowing me to use their laptop, while mine is in the shop.

thanks FF. I really love this place and want to stay/live here. a perfect place for my child also. it's really too bad he has to be a jerk. if I lock myself out the condo, he will want $200. if you lost keys, he will want $100. and $100 per day after 1st if you're late on your rent check til he receives it in hands. he doesn't care if it's on way in mail . . .
