Dear Stephen Shirley. 15 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: I'm a thirty year old flight attendant and I'm married 16 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: to a forty four. 17 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 2: Year old professor. 18 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: I met him when I was in grad school and 19 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: we started dating after I got my degree. He was 20 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 1: going through divorce and we kept our relationship private until 21 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,520 Speaker 1: it was finalized. He has a seventeen year old daughter 22 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: that found out on social media and she started a 23 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: lot of chaos in our lives. She didn't show up 24 00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: at our wedding and itd devastated. My husband was upset 25 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: that his ex wife allowed her to skip the wedding. 26 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,839 Speaker 1: I was over her by that time, so I didn't care. 27 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: Now she's about to turn eighteen and asks if she 28 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: can come live with us in Florida and attend a 29 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: fashion school. I never answered my husband, and he eventually 30 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: flipped out on me and made the executive decision to 31 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: allow her to come. I fixed up our home office 32 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: for her, and I moved my desk on to our 33 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 1: sun porch. 34 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 2: I was so irritated. 35 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: She has been here four months and she has done 36 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: exactly what I knew she was going to do. Now, 37 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,759 Speaker 1: when she's got an attitude, I leave and go to work. 38 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 1: I take any flight available so I can get away 39 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: from this girl. My husband and I argue because he 40 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 1: says I'm not a positive role model for her. She's 41 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: a grown woman to me, and she's got parents that 42 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: failed her and allowed her to disrespect grown people. I 43 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: told my husband that if she pops off at the 44 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: mouth one more time, I'm going to pop her. He 45 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,919 Speaker 1: says I need to learn how to be a parent, 46 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: and I told him I will as soon as he 47 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: makes me one. I would rather work and deal with 48 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: the plane full of needy passengers instead of dealing with 49 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: the grown child. My husband told me that my fight 50 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: or flight mentality is ruining us. He can't see that 51 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: his child is divisive and honoring. Am I wrong or 52 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: does he need to put her out? Absolutely? Yes, I 53 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: think you're wrong. I do think you're wrong on so 54 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: many levels. Here I'll tell you why. It's simple. You 55 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: are the adult. You keep calling her a grown woman. 56 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: You keep saying she's grown, but she's really still a child. 57 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: You're grown when you can pay your own way and 58 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: when you can take care of yourself, and she's not 59 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: doing that right now. She's in your home, she's living 60 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: off you, guys, she's living with you. 61 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 2: Guys. 62 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: You're also grown when you can face your problems head on. 63 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 2: But what do you do? 64 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 1: You run and jump on a flight and, as you say, 65 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: deal with the plane full of needy passengers rather than 66 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: trying to fix a problem at the house. And yes, 67 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: it is a problem because it's causing you and your 68 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:04,959 Speaker 1: husband to argue. 69 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 2: Now, why would you let that happen? You too should. 70 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: Prevent present a united front to his daughter, making it 71 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: impossible for her to come between you, guys, because that 72 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: is what's happening, that situation. You all are allowing to 73 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: let it come between you stay home in the midst 74 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: of all this and handle your situation. No more jumping 75 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: on planes when you can't deal with it anymore. I say, 76 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: first you and your husband should talk agree on some 77 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: basic house rules. Then a family meeting should be called 78 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: to let the daughter know about the new changes. And again, 79 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: remember you and your husband are on the same team, 80 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: and you guys are the adults. I mean, she needs 81 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: to see that you guys are together. He's her dad, 82 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: but he's your husband, which means it's your house and 83 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: your rules. So as you know, she's welcome as long 84 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: as she abides by the house rules. I mean that 85 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: means no attitudes, no popping off at the mouth. 86 00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 2: No disrespect of any kind. 87 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: Let me say this, if she pops off at the 88 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: mouth one more time, you're gonna pop her. Don't pop her. 89 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: That's not what this is all about. Don't do that. 90 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, she's angry, she's trying you and 91 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: all of that, trying to come between her. 92 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 2: But you don't have to take it there. You can 93 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 2: be the bigger person here. 94 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: You can invite her to lunch, you can do something 95 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: fun with her, you know, and try to make peace 96 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: with her and like your husband said, be a role 97 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: model for her. I think you should try that before 98 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: you give up on this situation and start, you know, 99 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: popping her and all that all together. 100 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 4: Steve, Wow, this is gonna have a couple of twists 101 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 4: and turns in it. I agree with what Shall is 102 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 4: saying about the letter. The problem the real problem here 103 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 4: is in the letter writer. That seems to be the 104 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 4: real problem. Now, if you're a thirty year old flight 105 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 4: attendant and you're married to a forty four year old professor, see, 106 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 4: I want you to understand something. 107 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 3: The news got out. 108 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 4: Some kind of ways because this story got told because 109 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 4: somebody knows he was your professor at the school. I 110 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 4: met him when I was in grad school and we 111 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 4: started dating after I got my degree. He was going 112 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 4: through a divorce, and we kept our relationship private until. 113 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 3: It was finalized. 114 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 4: He has a seventeen year old daughter that found out 115 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 4: on social media, and she started a lot of chaos 116 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 4: in our lives. Well, the daughter found out what on 117 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 4: social media that you all were dating or you all 118 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 4: had gotten married. I think she found out y'all was dating, 119 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 4: so quite naturally, her and the mother are now blaming 120 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 4: you as the cause of the divorce. That's how it 121 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 4: always works, ain't it. Yes, So now after they found 122 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 4: out on social media, she started a lot of chaos. 123 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 3: In our lives. 124 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 4: She didn't show up at our wedding, and it devastated 125 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 4: my husband. He was upset that his ex wife allowed 126 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 4: her to skip the wed. You mean his ex wife 127 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 4: didn't make her go to the wed? His ex wife wasn't. Now, 128 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 4: so the ex wife didn't make the daughter go to 129 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 4: the wedding? What you mean allow her to skip it? 130 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 4: She's seventeen. She didn't want to go down there because 131 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 4: she figured you the reason her mama and daddy ain't together. 132 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 4: And her mama didn't co sign that, because as soon 133 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 4: as you start dating somebody, they go, oh here she 134 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,359 Speaker 4: is right here.
