I just feel like getting this off my chest. I'm just so very tired. I've not been able to get any sleep lately because I moved back in with my mother. (no beds in this house except hers.) I have to sleep on the floor with my sister in a room thats colder than a well diggers ass (don't ask.. I don't know either), with only a sheet to cover up with. And all the while my mother shoves down my throat how "this isn't the holiday inn express". Well, mom, you're right. The holiday inn had beds and blankets for me to sleep with. What also ticks me off is how when I try to crawl up in my mom's bed when no one's in it, I have to be waken up every hour when mom feels like blaring the most retarded and eye-gougingly stupid songs. I HATE nickleback. I HATE three doors down... please let me sleep...<img src=smilies/cry.gif>

What, isn't Brad being a good boyfriend for you? Men are supposed to provide for their significant others so that their significant others don't have to do these sorts of things. <img src=smilies/headshake.gif>

I get the feeling that they aren't going out anymore.

I tend to agree with some of your more trollish posts, but this one seems like a total shot in the dark, looking to stir an angry response from someone.

Girl, you can do it. You just need to be strong.

Since the problem you outlined in your post dealt for the most part with conflict with your mother and problems with sleeping arrangements, let's focus on that.

With regards to the sleeping arrangements: You didn't mention whether or not you have a job or not, but if you don't, that should be priority number one. Even if it means a part-time job at a fast-food joint, you need to get your hands on some money. With that money, you should buy yourself some sort of bed comforter (the nice thing is that they can even be used on a bare floor and they're still comfortable) as well as either your own sheet or a blanket. While generally linens cost a great deal at stores, most department stores like J.C. Penny and Proffit's will run sales on a fairly regular basis. For example, just the other day we were able to pick up a comforter/blanket set for something like $40 at Proffit's.

Anyway, to sum up, priority one should be: Get yourself better sleeping arrangements by buying a comforter and blanket.

Priority two should be to air out your frustration with your mother. You didn't give us a reason why you moved back in with your mother or any other background information to go on, so this advice will be intentionally vague. If you're frustrated with her blaring her stupid songs, you should mention to her that you're trying to sleep, and all you ask is that it not be played loudly while you're in bed. I cannot stress enough that this needs to be done in a NON-CONFRONTATIONAL MANNER. I know from experience with my own mother - in a discussion, if she senses that you're getting angry or are trying to verbally push her, she'll respond back with two times what she's sensing from you. Secondly, with regards to her "this isn't the holiday inn express" comments, you need to bring this up even more gently than above. When she says this, you need to make it clear to her that you realize this, and the reason why you came back home is because she's your mother, you love her, and you appreciate any help or advice that she can give you. Even if you're angry at her, you still need to keep in mind that she is your mother. Unless she's done some horrible thing that you've failed to mention that would give you a reason to permanently cut yourself off from her, a mother/daughter relationship should not be this strained. Clearly something is angering her, and clearly something is angering you. If both of you can sit down and calmly discuss these things - because clearly, neither of you knows the reason for the other's anger - and do so in a NON-EMOTIONAL, NON-CONFRONTATIONAL manner, then things might be a great deal happier in that home.

Anyway, that's just my advice, do what you want with it.

Holy shit, that is one of the most well thought out and well written (non flame) things I have read from you since I started lurking here! Damn good advice moogle.

Damn, that is rough. I'd probably shoot my mother if she did that kind of stuff to me... but that YEARS of repressed hatred for my mom, and that would be the final straw...

As for your situation, I agree with TheOtherMoogle, you first priority should be to get a comforter or something like that (even if it means getting a crappy job (if you don't have a job)). Then you can focus more on trying to get an actual bed, then eventually a place of your own (even though that would be more of a long-term goal), and finally (after you have your own place), smashing your mom's radio into millions of tiny pieces as you walk out the door, laughing maniacally...

Well it seems that i don't have to worry about my mother anymore. Once again she got drunk and kicked me out, and once again i'm living with my dad. I've transferred schools and will be getting a job nearby. Also, my artwork has been selling alot lately, i'm in the process of selling 3 works and getting money for 2 other pieces. I've been getting more sleep since i've been at dad's, but my brothers still tend to be moronic and all...

oh... yeah, i forgot to tell you that they are mean too. They're the ones who drove me and brad out of my dad's house in the first place. Now i have brad's laptop with me, and they want to smash it just because it's brad's, which means i have to always hide it. My brothers are stupid (and i'm not even going to begin to list the drugs they do) and mean as hell.

Beat the shit out of them. Be sure to take them on one at a time.

Kill them. It is spring break for me this weekend, so me and a few friends can make a 24 hour drive to Florida to help you hide the remains. Just a suggestion (Please please don't really go and do that...)

you really, REALLY, don't know how big these guys are. I mean like 250+ pounds each. I think the only way to take them down would be MB beating the crap out of one, then the other, or SwampGas sniping them
