Speaker 1 (00:26):
Thank you for you subject My House, My rules. Dear
Stephen Shirley, I've been married for four years and I
just had my first child at age forty. My husband
has two children from a previous marriage. When I came
home with the baby, he had his two children at
my house and it was a mess. His son is
fourteen and his daughter is eleven. My husband said they're
(00:48):
not used to cleaning up, so he would get to it.
His entitled children have a housekeeper at their main home
with their mom so they don't have to lift a finger.
I didn't speak to him for days because the house
was filthy, and he shouldn't have me and our newborn
daughter come home to filth. I told his ex wife
that she should start now. It's not too late to
(01:08):
give the kids basic chores around the home. She agreed,
but she said the children complain when they're tired or
want to be with their friends instead of cleaning up.
I wasn't that concerned about what goes on at her house,
but I told her they need to be ready to
keep my house clean when they're visiting us. Then she
got testy and said they're not visiting, they live at
(01:29):
my house too. I reminded her that her ex husband
moved into my home, so they are still guests in
my home when they come over. She called my husband,
and I was irritated that he even took the time
to hear her out, and even more irritated that he
said he was offended by what I told his ex wife.
I told him that by all means, his children are welcome,
(01:50):
but it's still my home and all of my household
rules apply, so the kids will be cleaning up behind
themselves over here. Why are he and his ex one
against instilling the values of cleanliness and their kids. Am
I out of line for how I want to run
my house? Help me understand, all right? I blame your
husband for this mess. I really do and know you're
(02:11):
not wrong. The kids should know how to at least
clean up after themselves eleven and fourteen, Even if they
do have a housekeeper at their mom's house, they should
know the basics, and that's on the parents to teach them.
You're also right that at eleven and fourteen, it's not
too late to teach them just the basic stuff. Your
husband dropped the ball, and his ex resents what you
(02:32):
said about her precious messy babies. She does, yes her house,
but if her ex husband is living there with the kids,
it's all of you guys's house, and you have rules
that were in place before all of them got there.
Your husband should not only side with you against her,
but he shouldn't want his brand new baby to come
home to a nasty house. I mean, what sense does
(02:55):
that make. All is not lost because you said they
are welcome. You and your husband need to be on
the same page though. That's the only way your planning
to give them chores, and I'm sure it's going to
be light chores. That's the only way it's gonna work.
They need to learn to respect their home wherever it is,
if it's with their mom if it's at your house
(03:16):
with their dad, and for that you need your husband's support.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
So hopefully he'll give it to you. Hopefully he'll give
it to you.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Tommy, all right, y'all know how I am about cleansiness.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
So I'm gonna say this.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Yes, cleansiness next to god lindliness. Yes, yes, my own creations.
I hate to say this, and then I don't know.
I don't think I'm being petty. You need to leave
his nasty ass. That's what you need to do. I'm sorry,
(03:55):
I am sorry. He nasty, the kids is nasty. Wife
is nasty. And if your new baby get around any
of them, your baby girl gonna be nasty. You need
to get out while you can. You farty. You forty
years old. You ain't got time to raise these damn kids.
At forty you got you got a brand new babe.
This is your first child. You ain't got time to
(04:16):
deal with these other two kids. They nasty. Okay, so
we can we can try this if you want. And
the problem I really got he offended. He offended by
the way you talk to his ex wife. I don't care.
I think you need to get out of this relationship.
That's what I think. I'm sorry if you call me petty,
if you want to call me petty, You're not gonna
(04:37):
be able to change these kids, because guess what, they
don't want to change their children. They don't want to
change their children. They are letting their children do whatever
they want. They raising them that way. You're not gonna
be able to do it. Just when the times that
they come over to your house, and you already saying,
when they come over here, they're gonna have to do this,
do this, and that. He gonna fight you on it,
the kids gonna fight you on it. The mama gonna
be over there tripping from across the way. You do
(04:57):
not have time. You are forty, Get out night, you
and your baby, get out, put these people out your house,
change your locks, and be done with it. That's what
I'm saying. We got to get a divorce and get
these people out of it. We can't do nasty. Well, I
just I don't do nasty. We got to get them
out of this house.
Speaker 4 (05:13):

Speaker 5 (06:49):
Okay, you're listening hard Morning show. All right, we're gonna
recap today's Strawberry letter. The subject is my house, my rules.
Forty year old woman wrote in she just had a
baby at the age of forty. She's been married for
four years to her husband, who has two children from
his previous marriage. Now, when this woman came home with
(07:12):
her baby, brand newborn, brand new newborn baby, she came
in the house was filthy. Now you got the husband
and who his two kids eleven and fourteen staying there
they didn't have the sense to clean the house up
when the mom was coming with the new baby.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
So the husband told her that the kids aren't used
to cleaning up, but the husband could have handled it.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
But anyway, she called his children entitled.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
They have a housekeeper at their house, so they don't
clean up over there. The parents didn't teach them to
clean up. But you know, you should know the basics.
She's saying, just basic tourers at home. She's blaming that
on the parents. She called the mom and told her
that her kids should know that, and you know the mom.
The mom got a little irritated because she said that
(08:01):
the kids are messy and they don't, you know, clean
up over there. So she called the husband, her ex husband,
and that irritated the new wife. So she told the husband,
by all means, his children are welcome at the house,
but they got to have some rules. They got to
have some household rules. They need to be cleaning up
after themselves. She can't do that. She got a new
(08:23):
baby and all that. So she wants to know is
she out of line for telling them this is the
way she runs her house. She wants to us to
help her understand junior.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Thank you for you subject My House, My rules. Dear
Stephen Shirley, I've been married for four years and I
just had my first child at age forty. My husband
has two children from a previous marriage. When I came
home with the baby, he had his two children at
my house and it was a mess. His son is
fourteen and his daughter is eleven. My husband said they're
(00:48):
not used to cleaning up, so he would get to it.
His entitled children have a housekeeper at their main home
with their mom so they don't have to lift a finger.
I didn't speak to him for days because the house
was filthy, and he shouldn't have me and our newborn
daughter come home to filth. I told his ex wife
that she should start now. It's not too late to
(01:08):
give the kids basic chores around the home. She agreed,
but she said the children complain when they're tired or
want to be with their friends instead of cleaning up.
I wasn't that concerned about what goes on at her house,
but I told her they need to be ready to
keep my house clean when they're visiting us. Then she
got testy and said they're not visiting, they live at
(01:29):
my house too. I reminded her that her ex husband
moved into my home, so they are still guests in
my home when they come over. She called my husband,
and I was irritated that he even took the time
to hear her out, and even more irritated that he
said he was offended by what I told his ex wife.
I told him that by all means, his children are welcome,
(01:50):
but it's still my home and all of my household
rules apply, so the kids will be cleaning up behind
themselves over here. Why are he and his ex one
against instilling the values of cleanliness and their kids. Am
I out of line for how I want to run
my house? Help me understand, all right? I blame your
husband for this mess. I really do and know you're
(02:11):
not wrong. The kids should know how to at least
clean up after themselves eleven and fourteen, Even if they
do have a housekeeper at their mom's house, they should
know the basics, and that's on the parents to teach them.
You're also right that at eleven and fourteen, it's not
too late to teach them just the basic stuff. Your
husband dropped the ball, and his ex resents what you
(02:32):
said about her precious messy babies. She does, yes her house,
but if her ex husband is living there with the kids,
it's all of you guys's house, and you have rules
that were in place before all of them got there.
Your husband should not only side with you against her,
but he shouldn't want his brand new baby to come
home to a nasty house. I mean, what sense does
(02:55):
that make. All is not lost because you said they
are welcome. You and your husband need to be on
the same page though. That's the only way your planning
to give them chores, and I'm sure it's going to
be light chores. That's the only way it's gonna work.
They need to learn to respect their home wherever it is,
if it's with their mom if it's at your house
(03:16):
with their dad, and for that you need your husband's support.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
So hopefully he'll give it to you. Hopefully he'll give
it to you.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Tommy, all right, y'all know how I am about cleansiness.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
So I'm gonna say this.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Yes, cleansiness next to god lindliness. Yes, yes, my own creations.
I hate to say this, and then I don't know.
I don't think I'm being petty. You need to leave

I asked, what becase whoop can't solve everything?
Speaker 5 (06:49):
Okay, you're listening hard Morning show. All right, we're gonna
recap today's Strawberry letter. The subject is my house, my rules.
Forty year old woman wrote in she just had a
baby at the age of forty. She's been married for
four years to her husband, who has two children from
his previous marriage. Now, when this woman came home with
(07:12):
her baby, brand newborn, brand new newborn baby, she came
in the house was filthy. Now you got the husband
and who his two kids eleven and fourteen staying there
they didn't have the sense to clean the house up
when the mom was coming with the new baby.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
So the husband told her that the kids aren't used
to cleaning up, but the husband could have handled it.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
But anyway, she called his children entitled.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
They have a housekeeper at their house, so they don't
clean up over there. The parents didn't teach them to
clean up. But you know, you should know the basics.
She's saying, just basic tourers at home. She's blaming that
on the parents. She called the mom and told her
that her kids should know that, and you know the mom.
The mom got a little irritated because she said that
(08:01):
the kids are messy and they don't, you know, clean
up over there. So she called the husband, her ex husband,
and that irritated the new wife. So she told the husband,
by all means, his children are welcome at the house,
but they got to have some rules. They got to
have some household rules. They need to be cleaning up
after themselves. She can't do that. She got a new
(08:23):
baby and all that. So she wants to know is
she out of line for telling them this is the
way she runs her house. She wants to us to
help her understand junior.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
