Strawberry left. All right, subject blend bless this blended mess.
Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm a forty seven year old married

(04:53):
woman and we have a four bedroom house. I have
two children from a previous relationship, and my husband has
a grown son his ex wife. His parents are living
with us temporarily because his son has a baby, and
they want to be here for their great grandchild. My
mom lives with us too. She's always lived with me,
and when I got married, I asked her to move

(05:14):
upstairs so my husband and I can have the big
downstairs bedroom with the on sweet bath. This is when
my mom started hating my husband and finding all kinds
of things wrong with him, from having stinky feet to
how his hairline is receiving. I put my mother in
a room upstairs that has a Jack and Jill bath,
and my husband's grown son shares a bathroom with her.

(05:36):
He has his fair share of complaints with my mom,
and my husband and I have talked about putting him out,
but he's got a newborn to save up for. He
has asked if the baby's mother and the baby can
move in too, and we both said a big hell no.
So my two daughters, ages eleven and thirteen, are constantly upstairs.

(06:00):
It's fighting because they have to share a room. With
these ridiculous house prices, we can't afford to move, and
we're about to lose our minds. My husband said, my
mom is bad for our marriage and she should go
move in with her boyfriend. We both think his son
should lead. My husband's mom and dad are taking up
our whole basement, and his dad is a sleepwalker and

(06:20):
he peas in the bed. I had no idea that
getting married would be so miserable. My husband seems to
forget this was my house and I welcomed him and
his family. So should I get to choose who's going
and who's staying? Am I right or wrong? Wow? That
is a blended mess. Let me handle this when we
come back. You got it. I'm don't flat out tell

(06:41):
you who all need to go? All right? Steve's response
coming up next. Subject of the Strawberry letter bless this
blended mex. We'll be back at twenty three after the
hour you're listening show. All right, come on, Steve, let's
recap today's strawberry letter with your response. This is part

(07:03):
one of your response. The letter subject is bless this
blended mess. Well, the request to bless this blended mess.
It's kind of a crazy request because you all created
the mess. I'm a forty seven ye old married woman

(07:28):
and we have a four bedroom house that's meaning her
and a hug. I have two children from a previous relationship,
and my husband has a grown son by his ex wife. Now,
so far, that's two four five people living there all right,
here we go. Now, his parents are living with us

(07:51):
temporarily because his son has a baby and they want
to be there for their grandchild. That's two more people grandparents.
That's seven in the house now. But but the reason
they are is ignorant. They're living with us temporarily because
his son has a baby and they want to be

(08:13):
here for their grandchild. But damnan, why they gotta be
in this hillhouse? They need to go and why is
the grown ass son in the house. My mom lives
with us too, Oh yo, mama, that's one more now
we got eight people live in the house in a

(08:36):
full bedroom. She's always lived with me, and when I
got married, I asked her to move upstairs so my
husband and I can have the big downstairs bedroom with
an in sweet bath. This is when my mom started
hating my husband and finding all kinds of things wrong

(08:59):
with him, from having stinky feet to how his hairline
is receiving. That is true though, both of those things,
but it's probably true most men's feet stink and his
hairline is definitely received Because if she noticed it, please
know the kids have noticed it too, and so has
his dad explains the road game that's all over the house,

(09:21):
laying on the countless in everything because he's caught them
getting road game prescription. I had to put my mother
in a room upstairs that has a Jack and Gil bath,
and my husband grown son shares a bathroom with her.
What what the Jack and Gil bath is shared by

(09:41):
the grandmother and the old ass son. Don't neither one
of them need to be in the house, but now
they're up there sharing a bathroom. She mad because she upstairs,
because she was downstairs, but then when you married or heirline.
Now she mad at highline hairline and stinky feet, headline
with the stinkard feet, and not up here with his

(10:04):
with his child from another damn marriage. She can't stand
his ass. He has his share of complaints with my
mom and my husband and I have talked about now okay,
now you're talking about his son now that shares the
Jack Jill bath. He has his fair share of complaints

(10:25):
with my mom and my husband and I have talked
about putting him out. He needed to get put out.
But his complaints is valid because now here and here
he got to deal with all this stuff on the
back of the commode that he don't even know what
it is because he's never seen tussie deal with it before.
He don't even know what that is and why it
is that back hill and the correct pronunciation is tussie.

(10:48):
But when you're a little boy like me, I thought
it was tussie because what else couss it could it be? Okay,
moving here, you're gonna call it tussy when the other
fine ain't. You ain't ever heard of pussy before, So
why as we called him a tuss? It It ain't
one word. Start with the pet and now you have pus.

(11:10):
You can have a pus bump on you with some
pus in it, but it's never been called pussy. It's
too early. So now why did the older got to
be tussy? You understand why one of my biggest ass whippings?
Would you stop this? Not about you, the whole lot
about me, bless this blended mass. I told you to

(11:33):
let me do it now. Talked about putting the boy out,
which you should, But he's got a newborn to save
up for. He got saved up for. No damn newborn
newborn costs money. You can't save with a newborn. Newborns
cost some money. He got a spin. He has asked
if the baby's MoMA and the baby mommy, and now
he didn't ask if the baby's mother and the baby

(11:53):
can move into And we both said a big hell no.
That'll be ten people in a faulk bed room. And
you're sharing the bathroom with the old woman with the
musing bacon solder for deodorant. And got that tussing on
the back of the counter, she got that water bottle
hanging on the back of the door. He still don't
know what all that venegeates fault. So see we got

(12:14):
a problem. So my two daughters are eleven and thirteen.
They belong in the house. They stays fighting because they
got the sharing room, because they shouldn't have to share,
because they should be sharing that Jack and Jill bathroom.
These ridiculous house prices, we can't afford to move. You
don't need to buy a new house. All the people

(12:36):
need apartments. My husband said, my mom is bad for
a man. She is. She should go move on her boyfriend.
That's true. We think the Sean's son should leave. Put
his ass out. My husband, mama's his dad's and taking
up the whole basement. Put the old ass out too.
Here sleepwalker, he pee in the bed. You're pee in
my bed one time, and then your ass got to go.

(12:57):
We come back, let me finish this letter when we
go back. Got all right? All right, Steve, hang on,
we'll get to part three. We'll do a part three
of this strawberry letter coming up at forty six minutes
after the hour. The subject today is bless this blended mess.

after this. You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right,

(13:20):
come on, Steve, you have a part three of today's
strawberry letter. The subject is blessed this blended mess and
blended messages. I got three minutes to walk out through
what this is far. The seven year old woman is married.
She got two kids from previous marriage. Her husband has
an adult son from an ex wife. The two children
lived with them, and the adult son lives with them.

(13:42):
Mama also lives with them, and she's always lived with
them even before she got married. But when she got married,
she wanted to move her and her husband down stairs
into the bedroom with the big in sweet bathroom and
moved a little mama upstairs. Now she madcause she got
a jacket, geo bath she got to share with the boy.
That is wrong, ass man. Now he got the girl

(14:02):
pregnant and he's staying at the house so he can
save up money for his son. You can't save money
with sons. You got to spend money for son. Now,
his mom and daddy the moved in because they want
to be near the grandchild. But damn it, too many
people in here. Now is her and the husband, is
the two daughters. That's faulk is the son that don't
need to be there. That's five? Is your mama stay there?

(14:25):
That's six, and it's his mom and daddy, and that's eight.
Then the boarden came in and asking the baby and
the baby mama move in. Now y'all want to say
hell naw when you need to put his ass out.
Now you got a problem because your husband say that
your mama bad for the match, and she is because
now she ain't hit talking about his hairline is receding
and everybody know that. And he touches about that headline.

(14:48):
That's why he've been buying that row game. It's hard
as a man to wake up and see your hair
on the pillar. So now he now he knows, everybody
knows that the hairline is going back. Now he back
there combing his hair started as it is. We know
it's bad. He need to just go ball. It's time
to move that. But now you got a problem now
with his mom and daddy, because his damn daddy downstairs

(15:10):
and moved into the basement and they're taking up the
whole basement and his daddy is a sleepwalker and peas
in the bed. Now your old ass is walking around
the house. Then soaked up these sheets with that old
yearing you've got. You've got aggrel in your yearing, you
got Hennessy in it, you got penicilla in your yearing,

(15:33):
you got in it by out, and you got antie limatory.
Now you're rubbing being gay on yourself. Man, you stink.
My husband seems to forget this was my house, and
I welcome him and his family, so I should get
to choose who's going and who's staying. Am I wrong
or right? The only people need to be in that

(15:53):
house is them two girls, that's eleven and thirteen. You
need to put everybody else ass out of that house.
Walking around, sleep walking in peeing, even mama too. Huh,
put your mammy out. We're talking about him the top
of the hour. Listen to this what what's the weirdest

(16:17):
thing you've ever done to get a girl? Think about that.
We'll answer it right after this. You're listening to The
