    Font - Entitled angry mom doesn't want my floor fixed (3ft-3ft hole by my bed) S My dad and mom are separated but we live together, been that way for years. They have differing rooms and don't get along. Over the last 2 years a HUGE hole has formed in my ground by my bed, right where you get off the bed is smack dab where the hole is, hence, I've fallen through it so I've covered it with a board to "deal with it". My dad recently found a guy to replace my flooring and carpeting to fix the hole,

    Font - I understand if she wants to help pick the carpet, I told her we are in talking stages still and she can help with that when it comes to it, but its not enough, the guy hasn't even taken measurements yet and she is acting like her whole house is being torn up but ITS MY ROOM that is getting a 3ft by 3ft fu hole fixed. She told me to "stop protecting your dad", and said I was lying about things, now she is acting all calm while I am visibly mad because of how she treated me and all she is

    Font - Edit: Spelling, and for anyone asking, I am 19, I do not make enough to fix the flooring and new carpeting myself, by the time I save that much, I'll just use the money for a downpayment on a place. UPDATE: My dad said fik her opinion, he's getting it fixed whether she likes it or not.

    Font - W z-eldapin . 3 days ago No. Call a family meeting. Sit them on opposite sides of the room for everyone's safety lol. State something to the following: I don't know what reasons you two have for deciding to cohabitate when you hate eachother, but I'M DONE. Stop putting me in the middle. Stop bad mouthing the other one to me. Just stop. You are affecting my mental health and I'm done. Figure your shit out. And walk out of the room. 106 Reply Share

    Font - indiana-floridian. 3 days ago It matters how old you are and where you live? Child and in US? If floor doesn't get fixed it may be appropriate to call child protective services. Still a lot of factors to consider. I am picturing rats getting in and other dirty issues. 15 Reply Share

    Font - Littlebiggran edited 3 days ago 3 days ago I would tell them it's a safety issue. If either of them prevent repair, if you are injured you'll sue. You won't, but at least you'll get their attention Do you have a job?

    Font - montanagrizfan. 3 days ago Tell her that if the hole isn't fixed the home can be condemned and you can all end up homeless. One call to the city is all it takes. I'd suggest just ignoring your mom and tell her it's a safety issue and you don't want to hear anymore about it. Trying to reason with her or argue is just adding fuel to her fire. She sounds absolutely crazy and you can't reason with a crazy person.

    Font - casey_werealien. 3 days ago Where does the hole lead? Cause. If it's like above the ground floor I would start dropping things down it. Especially when company is over. Mom wants friends at the dining table? Bad dragon falls right in the middle of dinner. She wants to relax and watch tv? Drop an alarm down it. I'm petty as shie so don't follow my advice. On a slightly serious note pick a time when you and dad are out of the house drop alarm clocks down the hole set to go off in 5 minute i

    Font - Cavelady 70 3 days ago Your dad recognizes that they should repair the floor in a home they own. Your mom is just looking for and excuse to fight your dad, and angry that she isn't controlling the situation. Let your dad fix the floor and keep out of their fights. Long term, save money in your own bank account, and look for a place with roommates. You need to get out of this stressful environment.
