That's too bad about your girls, it's also sad when family is stepped on for love, stepped on meaning feelings are hurt and whatnot, not meaning that in a bad way or nothing.

that's great about you working from home soon, don't go into a blogging mania now ya here?!?! LOL

Take care :)

That totally sucks about the girls...

There's no way you can talk any sense into them ?


I sure hope you get Stella...

You need a kitty, DAMNIT !


DON'T FORGET IDOL !!!

Those girls. Somebody needs to sit them both down and mediate a conversation between them. This has been going on too long!

I agree, if Seth keeps getting sick living there he needs to move, but he didn't really like it out here, so who knows.

I think you'll still get the cat, it will just be a matter of him being able to get her over there.

Hope they'll be able to mend things soon. It hurts like the devil when they drag Mom into it, because you have to be so careful what you say or they think you are taking one side over the other. No fella is worth sisters feuding over. Hope your son either gets himself a different job, or comes back to warmer climate. Good luck with the cat. Sounds like the new nephew might want to keep it.

Patty - 01:14 - 2008-Feb-5

I think you might have to gently remind the girls that they are placing more importance on an outsider than each other. I don't know if that would help... I hope they come to their senses, soon. The longer these things go, the more difficult it can be to find your way back.

Seth is making a big mistake. He's gonna wind up back in the hospital if he's not careful. I hope it doesn't get worse. Can Seth do maintenance? I was on Pixar's website the other day and they had openings in their maintenance department. I bet they'd be cool to work for...

I hope you get the kitty and yay for not having to commute every day. Good for you.

Oh no they're still fighting ?? It has been going on too long, I know that has to put a strain on you:( . I was wondering about the cat, I'm sure you'll get her. Poor Seth, he really does need to be careful, or he'll be back in the shape he was. ~hugs

No one named Dan is worth it. Believe me, I KNOW this from experience....
Your girls are being what they are-immature girls and someday they will both stop this stupidity and figure that no one is worth more than family.
Stay clear Mom-for your sanity and theirs.

I know Kelly, I didn't think any of my kids would let a guy/girl come between them and now look at them.....:(

I have to admit, it's hard when I'm working at home to not be clicking on this blog haha

lisalisabobisa - 09:16 - 2008-Feb-5

Nope Cam, if I say anything, I'm taking sides. I learned that right away....all I can do is sit back and watch them, and hope that at some point they will stop this nonsense.

I think I will get Stella, it's just a matter of when. My sister and I were looking at cat houses, scratching pads, pretty collars (even though she won't wear one) the other day. It was fun!!

lisalisabobisa - 09:19 - 2008-Feb-5

Yeah Laurie, you know how stubborn they both are. I really didn't think it would go on this long, but unfortunately it keeps getting worse instead of better. They made Seth work outside today, I bet he will decide to move back here.

I think Mark will bring her here, but he needs to do it before Maxim gets too attached though.

lisalisabobisa - 09:20 - 2008-Feb-5

Thanks Patty, I hope they at some point will realize what they are doing....as for Seth, he is always sick, so I think he needs to move back here. And I'm ready for that cat....I've waited long enough for one...;)

lisalisabobisa - 09:22 - 2008-Feb-5

Rene, honestly, anything I say to them just makes it worse. There's nothing I can do. Seth started out doing maintenance in his job, now he does electrical. I'll tell him...thanks! Yeah I'm wondering how he is going to feel tomorrow after working outside in the freezing cold and wind today. He is still on antibiotics.

lisalisabobisa - 09:24 - 2008-Feb-5

Yes Windy, those girls....dang...I think it's been about three months now. I don't know...... I know, I feel bad for Seth, and I hope he's not back to where he started tomorrow.

I hope so with the cat too! I think I will get her, I was just expecting her sooner than later...;)

lisalisabobisa - 09:26 - 2008-Feb-5

Jana, I sure hope so. I'm starting to worry that they will ever mend this rift that just keeps getting bigger and bigger. I have to stay clear, I have no choice, it's all up to them...

lisalisabobisa - 09:27 - 2008-Feb-5

I still don't understand regarding the girls...

If you spoke to both in a manner of reason, you wouldn't be taking sides, right ?

We're talkin' FAMILY here, for cryin' out loud !

Every single day those two refuse to talk is another day lost to their family history together !

Cam - 09:59 - 2008-Feb-5

I try Cam, but they both are determined the other one is wrong....basically Erin feels she has been betrayed, and Hillary feels Erin is being ridiculous, it's a no-win situation...

lisalisabobisa - 10:06 - 2008-Feb-5

I guess I would tell each of them that every day that they refuse to resolve it will be another day lost as sisters...

But since I'm not a parent, I can kinda understand where you are coming from... I think.

Cam - 10:14 - 2008-Feb-5

I try to tell them that, but then they think I am defending the other one, and it turns into an argument. I don't know.....help!

lisalisabobisa - 10:19 - 2008-Feb-5

Well, to quote some rather precise & true song lyrics :

Time heals all wounds they say, but the self-inflicted won't just fade away

Cam - 10:22 - 2008-Feb-5

That is just so sad about your daughters. I hope they soon realize they need to find a way to work this out.

I can't imagine the luxury of working at home. On the other hand, I'd be terrible about self-discipline! I'd find too many distractions to keep me from working. *hangs head in shame*

DeeJay - 06:36 - 2008-Feb-6

Having 4 daughters I know well the spats, fights and knock-down drag-outs they can have...and the immature notion that they're never going to speak to each other again.

Sometimes time cures all, but other times, especially in the teenage years, it required sitting them down and reminding them that, "you know you love each other, and you know that you can't do without each other, and you KNOW that nothing or no one is worth carrying on this way....so what do we do now?"

Everyone is different, but they'll come around...maybe Dan needs to hit the highway!

Rubicon - 07:39 - 2008-Feb-7

Thanks Deejay, I do too. Hopefully they will talk it out at some point.

Working at home does take some discipline, but my boss/brother is usually at the other end of the computer so I can't stray too much....lol

lisalisabobisa - 08:10 - 2008-Feb-7

Michael, they are both in their 20's and usually pretty mature about things. But they are both extremely "hard headed". Dan disappearing wouldn't do anything at this point, the damage is already done. Hillary works with him everyday, so there's no getting away from him even if she wanted to.
