Warrior07 Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 Been there done that. My Mom even lives in Myrtle Beach. We are from South Carolina and after 20 years of living here, my Mom decided to move back to Myrtle Beach and my Brother moved back to Hilton Head Island. I was the only one who stayed in Las Vegas. After a few years back there, my Mom and Step-Dad decided to come back to Vegas to be closer to my kids. That lasted about 1 year. See my wife and my Mom really don't see eye to eye sometimes and I'm stuck in the middle of it. Yeah blood is thicker than water, but my wife is my wife and my kids are my kids....it's MY family, no one elses. If they (parents) aren't paying my bills, putting food on my table or cleaning my house, then they have to understand that the umbilical cord has been cut years ago and they have to understand this! Stand your ground, you will be miserable if you don't. You have to go to bed with your wife every night, not your Mom. I do agree that the door needs to be opened for family, but sometimes, the door needs to be closed and they have to understand this. If they don't, then oh well. I know it's easy to say and hard to do, but your wife and kids come first IMHO. Whatever you do, don't let your parents come between you and your wife, this is the worst thing that could happen. Good luck! ok this is basically my post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warrior07 Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 Right on Pete That was pretty much close to the topic. ok i'll try this again my main post was to express my issue with family moving out here wanting us to change our lifestyle . and to basically cater to them . but i see if i let them live with us for a long period of time it's going to go backwards . and i'm in the same boat as dani i'm in a slump until i came to this site . and have met some really cool peeps . esp. dune freak dunimonkie ogp and randog at cleanup . sin city blonde at pres day . yamapimp at hooking us up with the rhino . that's why we bought the rhino so we can meet new peeps instead of leaving the kid and wife at the trailer cause you can't ride doubles . opening our world of duning and off roading to a new level of having fun .
