I have given a practical solution which worked for me, and may work for the op.

Your solution would be an ultimate scumbag thing to do in my family and in a lot of families I'd imagine.

I'm not trying to call you a name in a sneaky way. I don't know you or your family. Things are acceptable in your family that wouldn't be in mine. I'm just talking about in my family situation. No judgement on you

You can say what you want, and call me and my family scumbags if you want, but my solution worked on 2 occasions.

Now would you ever cop on and post something constructive for the op.

So you moved out. But you don’t think that’s a good suggestion for the OP. Why?

I'm not calling you anything. I explained that. I apologise to you if you think I called you or your family names. Calling you names was not my intention.

In my family it would be a scumbag thing to do. That's my family. Your family is different to mine obviously.

Do or did your family routinely open post on you after being told not to? Do or did your siblings blatantly steal your property to sell for drugs? No? Well walk a mile in my shoes back then and come back to me.

Nobody should have an opinion unless they suffered the exact same scenarios as you? Sorry for your problems mate, but **** off if you think people aren't entitled to an opinion.

You ever say shot about Donald trump 9or leo varadkar? Walk a mile in their shoes.

Stupid reasoning

We use dialogue in my family. I wouldn't have a problem bringing in the gardai for serious issues. Violence & the likes. Opening post is something that we would work out using words. If the mail still gets opened they moving out would be an option. I would die with shame if I call the gardai on my parents. Father died a long time ago but I always respected both my mum and dad too much to call the gardai on them in their own home. For moving out would be a better solution.

Judging by your user name I'm guessing you might not be Irish & maybe there are cultural differences. In Ireland we get brought up with "never bring police to this door/family".

Why the hell are you attacking me instead of helping the op?

Go off and trawl every last one of my posts on boards.ie and find me one that is critical of trump or varadkar. You might find one on varadkar that I know of.

Again, this is legal discussion. You are coming on here and telling me to **** off? Good luck. You are joining splinter65 on ignore.

Sorry. I thought your advice was flaws so I spoke against it.

I have no interest interest trawling through any of your posts (especially if they are of this quality).

I was just pointing out two political figures that receive a huge amount of criticism and compared it to you saying that unless you have the same life experiences, you are ineligible to give criticism.

I could say the same about Twink or Jedward.

Let me guess what your solution would have been. Move out.:rolleyes:

My solution would be a clip around the ear

Opening your post ffs

I'm Irish and as Dublin as they come.

I didn't ring the police on my folks. Go back and read my first post in this thread. I threatened to, because I knew they wouldn't want the police up.

Regarding my brother, he's a dirtbird. He cleaned out the whole family. I broke him up a few times but it was water off a ducks back. The last straw was a good gold chain I had just been given as a gift.

Again I knew what I was doing by going and reporting it. The chain was returned within an hour with my mother letting on she found it in the bathroom.

If I had moved out I wouldn't have got the chain back, and he would still be robbing the family blind.

Actually, I remember when I lived at home, I bought Jaffa cakes and my mam opened them.

I should have called the police and reported her for theft.

Jesus wept.

I would have been flecked out on my ear for threatening my parents with anything. Gardai or otherwise. I'm in my 50s and can put my hand on heart and swear that I have never in my life threatened my parents, siblings or children.

Kids living at home till they're in their 30s is a new thing. In fairness the poor kids can't get a fair start.

30 years ago it was possible to buy a house on mediocre income, or rent. It's facetious to tell them to get out and survive on their own nowadays. Yeah they'll probably survive but will have no quality of life. And that's not what any parent wants for their kids.

That's what happens when homes are commidified. World's ****ed lads.

I'm happy for you. Genuinely. You've had a good life up until now.

Not everyone or every family is the same though.

Eric Cartman

looking at post history it appears the OP is under 25 , has bought a van to do a stealth camper conversion so clearly has a path to moving out. Aside from that can't see why they'd take your licence and passport.

Is owning your own home a right? Please tell me you don't think everyone is entitled to a free house.

Of course not. Are you crazy? Where the **** was that even hinted at?!

A chance to be able to buy a house! Like they way it was for every body up until now. Or failing that renting one, but still have enough money after paying the rent that you could have some quality of life. Like the way it used to be. It's not communism.

Apologies. Your misuse of the word commodofied threw me.

Well.... Irish passports are the property of the Minister for Foreign Affairs.

People in here seem to be under the impression that if an adult is still living under their parent's roof that said adult must forgo all of their rights and that the parents can do whatever they want.

Not how this country works my dear friends.

Closing this thread. OP, if you feel that someone has stolen your property, go to the Gardai. If you feel unable to go to the Gardai, you have a personal issue rather than a matter for legal discussion.
