1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,880
Speaker 1: All right, ladies and gentlemen, it is time for the

2
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: Strawberry letter. Well, my friend Shirley straw thank you, my

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,799
Speaker 1: friend Junior. All right, subject, our modern day full house

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: isn't working. Here's Stephen Shirley. I'm a forty eight year

5
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: old female and I live in my childhood home with

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 1: my two older sisters, older brother, my son, my son's girlfriend,

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: and my daughter. My parents moved to Texas and left

8
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: us all in the house. It's a six bedroom house

9
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: with three bathrooms, so there's plenty of space for everyone.

10
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: The house is paid for and we all split the bills.

11
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: We have not had any issues with our living arrangement

12
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: until recently, when my bitter older sister, who has no life,

13
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: decided that it's time for my daughter, my son, and

14
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 1: my son's girlfriend to move out. She has no valid

15
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: reason for wanting them to move out of the house

16
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: or wanting them out of the house. She's just jealous

17
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: because her son doesn't want to have anything to do

18
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: with her. She has my parents in the middle of

19
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: it and are sick of her complaining, so they said

20
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: we can all get out and they will sell the house.

21
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: There's so much tension in the house now, and my

22
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: sister is being petty by putting her name on food

23
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: in the fridge. She has also put a lock on

24
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: the bathroom door by her bedroom so it can be

25
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: exclusively for her. My brother said that my sister is

26
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: being unreasonable, but if it would keep the peace, then

27
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: maybe the children should move out. They're grown and very responsible.

28
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: But why should they have to move out. I don't

29
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: want to leave my childhood home, but if my children

30
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: have to go, then I will go to We are one,

31
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: We were one big, happy family, and she just snapped

32
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: one day. What do you think we should do? I

33
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: hope we can settle this soon because I can't live

34
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: like this. Please advise. What do I think you guys

35
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: should do? I think you need to move out, all right,

36
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: because it's only your sister, it's only your brother. But

37
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: it's you, your daughter, your son, his girlfriend. That's a

38
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: lot of people. It's only three bathrooms. She didn't just snap,

39
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: She's been thinking about this for a very long time.

40
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: You never mentioned what kind of relationship you and your

41
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: older sister have. You just said that you haven't had

42
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: any issues yet, and you guys split the bills. Well

43
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: that's over now because it sounds like Big sister is

44
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: just fed up with all the people there and all

45
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: of that. She wants her own space, she wants her privacy.

46
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: She's sick of sharing the bathroom with whoever waiting on it.

47
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: She you know, it's her parents' house. I'm assuming that

48
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: she'll probably be okay with you staying there, but you

49
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: come with a lot. So yeah, I mean, she's fed up.

50
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: She didn't snap, but she's just fed up. And you know,

51
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 1: she's ready. She's ready. She's probably gonna put a lock

52
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: on a lot more. She may even put a lock

53
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: on the refrigerator. She's already named putting name tags on stuff,

54
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: so that could be next. So I think you guys

55
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: need to, you know, start looking for another place, because

56
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: you say, if your kids go, you're gonna go, and

57
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: she's she's sounds like it's not gonna have it any

58
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: other And the parents say they're gonna sell if you

59
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: all don't get it together. Steve, you know, this is

60
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 1: kind of trifling. You know, people get old and bitter.

61
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: The lady forty eight years old. She lives in her

62
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: childhood home with her two older sisters, her older brother,

63
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: her son, her son's girlfriend, and my daughter. Now the

64
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: parents moved out because they saw this coming. This is

65
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: a disaster. Now, did ladies say it's a six bedroom

66
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: house with three bathroom, so it's plenty of space for everyone. No,

67
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: it's not because the people that you think is plenty

68
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: of room for everyone, they're not really connected. See your

69
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: two older sisters and older brothers and you is the

70
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: only one that's really connected. That's their nephew and niece,

71
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: which is your son and your daughter. But now a

72
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: girlfriend is in there. Now they young, they in that

73
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: reminding them of things that they don't do. No way

74
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: they walk in pay as they bed room dope, This

75
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: handprints all on the bathroom. They don't know where they're

76
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: coming in that fine and stuff? What is this cream?

77
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: They're all in the room. See what was they in

78
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: that doing? Which is icy hot? This is my icy hot?

79
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: What is their young asswering that doing with all this

80
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:34,679
Speaker 1: icy hot? Who? And what? Girl? When in the room? Girl?

81
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: My prune juice jaw was in there. So the real

82
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: tension has come from the fact that your son and

83
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: his girlfriend is in that clowning and they want them out. Now,

84
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: your big sister wonned. That's bitter and stink she'd started

85
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: writing her name on her food. Yeah, now less briefly

86
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: discuss what writing your name on food can cause. Okay, Well,

87
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: if I open the freezer looking for a snack and

88
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: you got Pam wrote on the ice cream, and I

89
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: decide this means Pam Baltic, Me and Aunt Pam being

90
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: cool and they eat palms ice cream. Fight not cool.

91
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: So I'm assuming that a fight them broke out. Somebody

92
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: drank the last of the kool aid and a fight

93
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: them broke out. Last time Pam was fine, it was

94
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: by centennial Richard pal all right coming out. Part two

95
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: of Steve's response. The subject today is our modern day

96
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: full house isn't working, the modern day fool house and

97
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: stopped working. This forty eight year old woman staying in

98
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: the house with her two old the sisters, her older brother,

99
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: her son, her daughter, and her son's girlfriend. They share

100
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: a six bad room house with three bathrooms in it,

101
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: and she says that's plenty of room for everybody. The

102
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: parents gave him the house and moved out because the

103
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: parents knew it wasn't enough room for everybody, so they

104
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: moved to Texas to get away from y'all. Y'all. Parents

105
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: stopped liking y'all a long time ago and just moved

106
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: to Texas. Now you're sitting up here now, and you

107
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: didn't got yourself in a situation where your oldest sister

108
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: or bitter what's her name, Pam, Bitter Pam, don't want

109
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: your son and daughter staying that now. I think it's

110
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: because the son and his girlfriend is millennials and they

111
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: have activities going on to danger every time they Pam

112
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: going that bathroom, she trying to figure out Hattie Fringer

113
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: prince got on the mirror, like why is her finger

114
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: Prince this up on the mirror? She ain't that talk.

115
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: She in the dad room trying to figure out how

116
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: she'd have stood up on the counter and got her

117
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: hands up against that glass like that. And now she

118
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: hadn't had her girlfriend come over that work down there

119
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: at the police station and discovered that her her son's

120
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: knee prints is on the on the counter in the

121
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: bath room. Now she didn't put them knee prints together,

122
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: but prints upon the mirror, and she'd have lost her

123
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: daddy for her old ass friends is in the forensic

124
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: department down at the police station, and she came there

125
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: and told her. Then this man knee print Pam Old

126
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: asked and got in there and acted it out with

127
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: her girlfriend. And they still can't figure out how that

128
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: girl hands got that hip on that damn mirror, and

129
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: why is this boy's knee is on this counter like this?

130
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: And on top of all that, the shower curtain has

131
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: been Oh yeah, Atlanta, and and Pam had just saw

132
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: the Love and Hip Hop Atlanta Reunion on TV and

133
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: had had seen the shower was seen with MEMI and

134
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: Pam was gonna try but she tried it one time

135
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: and that they had to replace the wall she rocked.

136
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: Sheath rock had come down because Pam a little bit

137
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: more than a millennium. So we had that situation. So

138
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: here's what the deal is. At the end of the day. Uh,

139
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: sometimes the jump comes in the form of a push.

140
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: And if I were you, it's time to grow. But

141
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: in order to grow, you have to go. So I'm

142
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: in agreement with Shirley that y'all should move out the house. You,

143
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: your son and daughter and his girlfriend. And if y'all

144
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: splitting all this, y'all need to go. Start y'all's life anyway,

145
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 1: because if you don't move out that house. You're gonna

146
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: end up just like your two older sisters, your older brother.

147
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: All of them stay there. Ain't none of them married.

148
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: They your two older sisters and your older brother, and

149
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: they all stay in the same house that they grew

150
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: up as children. And if you don't move, that's gonna

151
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: be you. In order to grow, you have to go.

152
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: I would get out and say good riddance and go

153
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: on and start my life. And I wouldn't even allow

154
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,199
