Me and my husband has an arguments last night because my baby is crying so much and we dont know why..My nanny came to me to get the baby, I gave it to her because maybe to her she will not cry. My husband told me like "What you/we gonna do if the nanny is not with us? He said it was just a joke, but to me, I feel I am insulted because it seems to me that I am incompetent mother and wife to my son. Am I really too sensitive? What do you think about it? We came from a different nationalities.. he is american I am asian.. But eventhough, we are happy together, just the language barriers sometimes causes problem. He thinks this I think that way...

Even though my brother is young (9) I understand my mom wants to play with him. But she acts too childish sometimes and it gets on my nerves. And she is soo demanding and when I try to cancel plans with her (my parents are divorced, I live with my dad), she gets upset and makes you feel sorry for her and I go back with her. As a teenager, I want to go out and have fun with my peeps but, with divorced parents, I have no control.

Ya'll, I live in Birmingham, Alabama and this type of stuff does not happen here, I've never heard of it happening anywhere for that matter! I know that there are mothers and sons that mutually decide to be intimate with each other (which is totally sickening to me) and that there are sons that lust over their mothers (which is equally sickening), but this is really trippin' me out! The mother says that she tried to get up, but her son kept forcing her down!

His daughter said that she feels like she is the last to know things, and is not in the group, when he spends time at my house. She feels like we're one happy family (her dad, me, and my 13 yr. old son) and she is the outsider. My fiance has his house and I have mine and we're in two different school districts with 2 different middle schools. The weeks (every other) he has her, he takes care of her at his house and we get together on one or two nights. When she is not with him she is at her mother's. It would be very difficult for either of us to move until this spring when next school year the kids will both be at the same high school. She thinks we're having fun without her and it makes her feel badly. My son is with me full time because his father died of cancer. Sadly, when we are together, she barely speaks to my son, and acts superior. It used to hurt him, but now he just ignores her. So, when we are together, it's hard. And, now she's putting on this pressure...Help!

I still get spanked and I just want to know how others get/got it. Stuff like is it private or not, bare or not, what you get spanked with, who does it, how hard, how fast, ect. Like I get it in my room by my mom only, I have to lay on my bed and I get it with a hairbrush on my bare butt. I get popped too many times, but they come fast and kinda hard. I don't bruise or anything and I usually deserve it.

I am 17 years old and i live with my mom, her and i have been through some tough things and she has lost her mind. she has this "friend" and he stays here all the time and he might be the father of another woman's baby and my mother has told him he can move in and they will take care of the baby together, i have become so uncomfortable here that staying is no longer an option. i feel unsafe and i know she will pick him over me and tell me to leave so i want to know as long as she says i can leave, i can right? and she cant have the police come after me, should i get her to sign something? i need to leave this house before something aweful happens and my life is in danger which probably isnt far from now. i have a boyfriend and he said i can stay with him but if i leave without my mom knowing she can press charges against him for kidnapping.
anyone have any idea what i should do?
i really appreciate it.

I don't want to be a pushy parent, but I would like to see my children having a hobby, whatever it is they're interested in. I would like to know how to create that desire in them to have hobbies and how young can I start?
The hobbies I meant should not be watching TV, chatting, shopping or hanging out with friends, but something that's more productive that they enjoy.
Thank you so much!

I was told by my father that my sons should call him...he even purposely did not send my 11 yr old a card or a gift on his birthday....because he says he hasn't heard from them....but he has not picked up the phone either......My sons are 11 & 13......my dad lives in TX...he chose to move away........
My kids are kids....I believe it is the basic "out of sight out of mind" senerio....if you want to have a relationship with a kid and you are an adult ....you should call the child.......kids don't think about you unless you make sure they do...........Agree? or am I wrong?

I feel like I am being pulled one side to another when it comes to my parents. Dont get me wrong, I love them both with all the kaos. But my dad only calls me when he want to talk about his problems with my mum, it seems he tries to find out information to get my mum in trouble so that he will not pay child support for my brother who lives with my mum. (I live in a different home.)

I feel like Im being used because he never used to call or contact me until now, when he's going on about how bad my mum is. What on earth do i do?

My DD's (3) dad was supposed to make an appointment with my daughter's pediatric neurologist over a year ago and hasn't. My daughter has Sturge Weber Syndrome, but a mild form of it. She was diagnosed in 2004. The Family Court Comissioner told him that he had to make a phone call to my daughter's ped nuero to learn more about SWS, it could be a phone conference or in person conference. He NEVER did. I have a letter from the legal department at Mayo Clinic that proves that. It's been OVER a year since we went before the FCC, and he hasn't made any attempts at all to contact her.
What do you think the FCC or a judge would think? Or say?
And I am going to send the letter from the legal department, but I'm not sure who I should send it to. I'm thinking the FCC because he's the one who told him to do it. Not the judge.

I'm going through a lot right now and it has been like this for such a long time, I say 3 years the most. my mom is always yelling and swearing to me for no reason at all. I love my mom but I can't say that she loves me. It's just the way that she treats me, I always get the feeling that she hates me or something. I am 22 years old and I have to ask her permission to do everything. I am trying to make friends In my hometown BUT...with my mom trying to run my life all the time, I haven't had any luck with making friends. I don't have a good relationship with my mom, I wish that I did. It's like when I was younger we had a good relationship, But as I got older our relationship isn't so good. I try to talk to her But It Is hard she'll either ignore me or start treating me badly again. I didn't do anything to deserve this, all I want Is to be loved by my mom and have a good relationship with her like a mother and daughter should. please help me. I will appreciate It soooo much, thank you!

My mom-in-law does stupid ****, like spends $$ on vacations for her & her hubby & then tells her adult kids, "Sorry, there won't be a Christmas this year cuz we spent our extra money on a trip to Greece, Florida, etc!" I'm sorry but that just seems outright ignorant. She loves 2 talk & when you try 2 talk, she just starts talking right over u like u weren't even saying anything. It drives me nuts, but do I say anything? No! Well, a few weeks ago, my hubby's dad got remarried 2 a lady that no one likes. My sis-in-law was supposed 2 B in the wedding, but decided the day of the wedding 2 call & say she refused to be in it, cuz she doesn't like the lady her father is marrying. Okay, I posted a vague blog saying some1 was "Disrespectful", cuz I didn't agree with the way she did it, waiting until the last min. Well her mom (my mominlaw) ripped me a new 1 cuz "i have no clue what her poor baby went through as a child, etc, " Now none of his family will speak 2 me, cuz of this. What do I do?

i love my mom, and i wanna know if she feels that i'm a good kid/if she's proud of me...
from the view of a parent, would I be a good, ok, or bad child to have?
i dont really fight a lot with my mom, just occasionally when we're both really stressed over something...
i get reasonably grades... As, Bs... i try not to get anything that would make my mom upset, cuz all she wants for me is to get to a good college and have a great life
i usually listen to her when she wants me to do something... not always, but almost always
i don't say bad things about my mom to my friends... nor would i try, because i would feel immensely guilty...

going off-topic here, but whenever i THINK about doing something bad or risky... my mom's head pops into my mind, and she's all upset... and i back away from w/e i was trying to do... is this usual? do i have a problem?

yes.. i know this is a weird question, but i want real, honest answers.. thnx.
