I was watching the Cowboys game on Sunday and for a moment things didn't look so good, so I overturned her coffee table, which had on it, among other things, a sculpture my little brother made of John F. Kennedy a few years ago when he was in high school (he's in art school now and thinks he's better than me). So JFKs head got broken off and my mom like flipped her grill and was telling me I have to move out, I have a kid on the way and this is no way to treat her. I'm like F**k you and she's all up in my grill telling me I can't watch the Cowboys anymore. I might as well move out. What should I do?

Your dilemma probably doesn't have anything to with the Dallas Cowboys; that's just what was going on at the time. That was just the excuse, or the proverbial straw that was added to break the camel's back. There may be more to this than you are telling. It sounds like she has taken care of you long enough and has had it up to her elbows. Your brother may not be 'better' than you, but did you even feel some remorse for what you did? And don't ever curse at your parents no matter what!!!

You should invite me to your new pad when the Cowboys play the Redskins. If the Cowboys win, I'm throwing something through your TV screen.
Serious answer--get a handle on your temper. Lot's of people yell at football games, but flipping the table is a little much, doubly so when it has stuff on it such as sculptures and none of it belongs to you. If you need to start throwing stuff around over that, what's it going to take to start slapping your girl or your kid around? I'm not saying you do that--I'm saying that's the road you are starting down--if you don't want to be that guy, figure something out--get a beanbag to throw around the living room, a pizza box to destroy, or some other better way to let the physical tension out without destroying anything or hurting anyone. If you don't get a handle on your emotions, they'll control you.

Yes it is a very long question and I am not sure that I can answer it in an way that makes good sense, but I will try. I guess the first and foremost thing to say is that it is your Mother's home but that does not mean that you are not a part of that home. You were there long before Gary and I find fault with both your Mother and Gary to make you feel out of place. They both owe you more respect and privacy. Your Mother is trying to relive her youth which is maybe something she missed out on depending on how young she was when she married your Dad. But, irregardless of that, you are her Daughter and she owes you !!! I don't know if this would work but I would suggest that you ask your Mom to sit down with both you and Gary and tell them in a nice way just exactly how you feel. If that does not work I would suggest that you talk to Dad and maybe work part time so that he could afford to have you live with him. It is much better to love and bump heads than it is to feel left out. I'm sorry if this is not much help, but it is the best advice I know how to give. Take care young lady and may God be with you.

I think first you need to realize that everything in that house isn't yours unless you paid for it. You disrespected her stuff by treating it how men in movies treat their OWN stuff when they get excited about a game... and then you disrespected her.
You need to tell her you're sorry, and that you'll do anything to make it up to her and that if she decides to let you watch the game at home that you promise never to treat her things disrespectfully again. Next time put your IPod in front of you... you probably will pick it up and never throw it... because it's worth something to you... just like your mom's table and lil sculpture was important to her.
When I first answered this, I thought you were a teenager, you need to really grow up and move out anyways. You have no right to be in your mother's house anymore if you're just going to disrespect it.
After I moved out, whenever I went over to my parent's house, it felt disrespectful to even eat their food without asking first!
You have already made the mistake of sleeping with somebody, now live up to it like a man and take care of the child like he/she deserves!

I am quite an ardent Dallas fan myself, but can not imagine what ever possessed you to destroy someones property because of a game you are watching on their television. The fact that you broke a prize keepsake is really bad and yet you seem to treat it like it was nothing. Maybe, you should move out.

first of all grow up.
then fix the statue.
second realize that you cant help the teams by wreaking stuff around the house.\
thirdly apologize to mommy. first for cussing at her and then for breaking the stuff.
next if you have a kid coming you should be finding a great job so you can get on with your adult life. and get out on your own.
PS cowboys suck but footballs great

Move out - if you are over 18 and out of high school, she is not obligated to take care of you anymore and what she says goes.
So, get your own place and you can destroy things and curse all you want during the football game.

If you have a kid on the way, you might want to grow up, get a job and get out. It was her stuff and you broke it doing something less than intelligent. She had every right to get upset.

What you should do is apologize to her for being a punk! You should never disrespect your mother like that. My mother and I disagree frequently but I never disrespect her. I think you should get your own place. I get along better with my mom now that I no longer live with her. Good Luck!

Get off your rear end and get your own place; but most of all, show a little respect for your mother.
