We got it for you here. It is Strawberry Letter.
All right, Thank you, nephew.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Subject she's nice to him and naughty to me. Just
Stephen Shirley. I've been married for thirty eight years, and
my husband and I live together as roommates now because
he told me years ago that he didn't feel the
same about me. It happened after our oldest daughter got
into a fight with her aunt, my sister. My sister
worked at an upscale restaurant and my daughter got drunk
(00:51):
in the restaurant and walked out without paying her tickets.
My sister got terminated over the way. My daughter clown.
My husband defended our daughter her and he's always been
a fool for our daughter, so she has no idea
of how the real world works. I have a rental
property that was my first home before I met and
married my husband. The house was in bad shape, and
(01:14):
I learned recently that he's having the house fixed up
so my daughter and her teenage son can live there
for free. He feels like she's had a hard time
adjusting to being a single mother. Yes, she's had a
hard time because he doesn't force her to keep a job.
If she has a disagreement with anyone at the job,
she calls her daddy to tell him about it. He
(01:35):
will make a way to get her another job one
of our friends in town. It's embarrassing because now everyone
knows she's trifling. If I intervene, my daughter tells me
that it's between her and her daddy and they will
handle it. I'm shocked that my husband is chosing this
trifle in net for over me and our wedding vows.
I tried to have a talk with our daughter and
(01:57):
set some rules for living in my house, which in
my name. She had the audacity to tell me that
I was out of line. How much more do I
have to take before my husband checks her. She's thirty
five and will continue to be trifling if he keeps
enabling her. What can I do well? I mean, you're
right about a lot of things that you say in
(02:17):
this letter. She will continue to be trifling if he
keeps enabling her. And guess what, he keeps enabling her.
And this is a problem. Your daughter is overly grown. Okay,
she's thirty five years old. She's disrespectful, she's a brat
because your husband has coddled her. And guess what, You've
lost her and you've lost your husband. He's awful the
(02:41):
way he's treating you. And you said it. Your husband
has chosen her over you over the years. Your husband
has encouraged her horrible behavior. He'll get on the phone
if she quits a job and gets one of his
friends to hire her. And you know what, This just
didn't start after she was so ugly to yourself, sister
at the restaurant. This has been happening her entire life.
(03:03):
I think you left out a lot of stuff in
this leather. This has been happening her entire life. Like
I said, otherwise, she wouldn't have acted like she did
in the restaurant in the first place. She's been coddle,
she's been spoiled, allowed to get away with her actions
since she was a kid by you and your husband.
Why are you just speaking about this now? I mean,
(03:23):
you know, this woman's thirty five with the child of
her own. She treats you her mother, like her competition
for her dad's affections and attention. You can't allow her
to do you any kind of way. You're the authority
figure here. You're her mother, not her friend. Your husband
is dead wrong for this. He's the one that's dividing
and separating. I mean, you're the queen and the family,
(03:46):
not her. But she gets treated like the queen.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Not you. Why.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
I don't understand why you let them band together against you?
I mean, are you the enemy now? It looks like
you're the enemy in their eyes. I mean, didn't you
raise her? I don't know where the mom respect is.
I think the excuse your husband gave you for not
feeling the same about you anymore is a lie. You
didn't act a fool in the restaurant, your daughter did.
(04:11):
What did that have to do with you.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I think he's.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Turned his back on you now, But her going off
on her aunt had nothing to do with it. That's
just an excuse he gave you so stop blaming yourself
for your daughter's ignorant behavior and your husband's neglect. You
get to decide how you want to live your life.
You're not happy with this arrangement. You got to do
something about it. Start with putting your foot down with
(04:34):
your daughter and your rental property. Step in, make her
pay rent. Let your husband know you mean business too.
I don't think you should tolerate anymore them against you, Steve.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Let's get to this. The subject on this letter is
she's nice to him and naughty to me. The name
of this letter should be way many. Ain't she your
daughter too? The name of this letter should be way many?
Ain't she your daughter too? Listen to this? Just Steven Sheryl.
I've been married for thirty eight years. My husband and
(05:09):
I lived together's roommates now because he told me years
ago he didn't feel the same way about me. It
happened after our oldest daughter got into a fight with
her aunt. Who is my sister. Hold on, wait a minute,
Ain't ain't she your daughter too? My sister worked at
an upscale restaurant and my daughter got drunk in the
restaurant and walked out without paying her ticket. Ain't this
(05:31):
your daughter? Then we talking about too. My sister got
terminated over the way my daughter clown. Oh, okay, so
it is your daughter. My husband defended our daughter, and
he's always been a fool for our daughter, so she
has no idea how the real world works. Ain't she
your daughter? I had a rental property that was my
first home before I met and married my husband. The
(05:54):
house has been in bad shape, and I recently learned
that he's having the house fixed up so my daughter
and her your teenage son can live there free. Wait
wait a minute, excuse me him. I'm sorry, Ain't she
your daughter? He feels that she's had a hard time
adjusting to being a single mother. Yes, she's had a
hard time because he doesn't force her to keep a job.
(06:16):
Wait wait, I'm sorry, excuse me my Riama's letter w
on Ain't she your daughter? Too? So I think you
all get where I'm going with this? Yeah, because she's
talking in this letter like she didn't actually birth this girl. Yep.
So this is why I'm confused. So when we come back,
(06:39):
more confusion.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yeah, hang on, Steve, we'll have part two of your
response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour.

to me. We'll get back into it right after this.
You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, come on, Steve,
let's recap today's strawberry letter and get to your response.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
What you got. She's nice to him and naughty to me.
Like I said the name of this letter, she'd simply
be excuse me, Wait a minute, ain't she your daughter too?
So all the way I've been doing the first half
of this letter was I was reading this letter and
plugging in where I thought she should be saying, but
this is your daughter too. I'm trying to realize how
(07:21):
she wrote the letter. But here's a part about this
other She said she'd been married for thirty eight years.
Her husband and I live together as roommates now because
he told me years ago he didn't feel the same
way about me. And then she said the reason he
said that was it happened after our oldest daughter got
into a fight with her aunt my sister. What wait
a minute. A man tells you that he don't feel
(07:45):
the same way about you no more, and you think
that it happened after your oldest daughter got into a
fight with her aunt, your sister. I don't want sleep
with you no more. I don't love you no more.
I ain't in love with you no more because our
(08:07):
daughter got in a fight with my sister. With your sister,
what dog?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
What?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
That don't make no damn sense? And lady, after that,
your whole letter don't make no sense. Your sister worked
out an upscale restaurant, Your daughter got drunk in the restaurant,
walked out without paying a ticket. Your sister got fired
over the way your daughter clown? What that got to
do with how your husband feel about you? My husband
defended the daughter. He's always been a fool for our daughter.
(08:35):
What they got to do with how he feel about you?
So she has no idea how the real world work.
What that got to do with how he feel about you?
And this is your daughter were talking about her. Then
you had a rental house that you had before you
met your husband in the house in bad shape. You
learned recently that he having a house fixed up so
his daughter, so your daughter and her teenage son can
(08:57):
live that for free. Ain't she your daughter too? He
feels she's had a hard time of justin being a
single mother. Yes, she's had a hard time because he
don't force her to keep a job. He don't force
her to keep a job. You her mother too. She
has had a dreat groom agreement with everybody at the job.
She calls her daddy to tell him about it. He'll
make a way to get another job with one of
his friends in town. So this is your daughter, don't
(09:19):
we talking about It's embarrassing now everybody knows she's trifling. No,
it's embarrassing because everybody knows she trifling, and she your daughter.
If I intervene, my daughter tells me that it's between
her and her daddy. Woman, excuse me, and they will
handle it. Didn't you make her? Ain't you the reason?
She on earth? I'm shocked, and my husband watched this though.
(09:44):
I'm shocked. This is what she said. I'm shocked that
my husband has chosen this trifling helfer over me and
our wedding vibue. Wait a minute, this trifling helfer ain't
just your daughter? Then you give birth to her. I'm confused,
and now you think it's your husband has chosen this
trifling hell for over me and our wedding vallece, I
(10:05):
try to have a talk with our daughter and set
some ruds for living in my house, which is in
my name. She had the audacity to tell me that
I was out of line? How much more did I
have to take before my husband checks her? Why you
ain't on your husband to check her? Didn't you make her?
Ain't she your daughter? Ain't the house in your name?
You don't have to let her live there. I'm so confused.
(10:30):
She's thirty five and will continue to be trifling if
he keeps enabling her. What can I do? Stop the enabling?
First things? First, my house my name had it for
I met your father and had it before you were born. Okay,
so now that's your house. You're not moving into it
with your son. What else you got? Let's start there.
(10:53):
You can't disrespect me no more because I'm no longer
accepting disrespectful behavior. Why because I'm your mother and I
won't accept it. So and the way you stop accepting
it is you stop the communication. You already calling her
trifle and helpholic. You don't even know it, So why
don't you quit talking with her? See what you're not
finna do? And none of my kids. Finna do this
(11:13):
to me is play me and then come to me
and need something. Okay, come on, come on, I want
to see how this work. Try. I got what my
job as a parent is, but I got news for you, partner.
You disrespect me, then come to me and need something.
Oh we finn to go right back to what this
disrespect is about. Now, you need to go to somebody
(11:34):
that you respect and get some help up. Oh it's happened.
That's how I know how to handle it. I know
exactly how to help it. Or I'll get your ass
in line right quick, because I tell all of mine. No,
you will need me long before I need you, because
I didn't have you for years. Anyway, you'll trust and
believes here. I don't know what y'all thought I was
(11:56):
doing for your ass was born, but I was making it.
I was surviving. Oh I might not look like I
look right now, but I was getting here. Your ass
don't even know the way who I am. So now
clearly your ass needs to make an attitude adjust me
(12:17):
cause you will't need me long before I need you.
I promise you that because every every hardship I've ever had,
I've never had to go to you for you to
bail me out better, get to be in a parent
I wish somebody would disrespect me in the house that
I'm paying for. I'll tell you what, it's funny. I
(12:39):
want to see it. I like when they come up
to me with it. Man, I started laughing because I
already know the ending of the movie. Al Right, now
