I am always burning supper due to the fact that I think I am SuperWoman. I have to multi-task all the time. So I'm cooking, doing laundry, checking homework, listening to my teenagers ramble on and on and on about their day, checking e-mails, yelling at kids to get chores and homework done, watching commercials, talking on the phone, and thinking about work all in the same half hour. You know, pretty typical mom stuff. I'm single, so I don't have to deal with the extra baggae of trying to make my man happy at the same time I'm trying to get other stuff done, lucky me.

my question is....which child should I flush down the toilet first? The one who is always whining because he'll die of broccoli poisoning, or the one who makes it her goal in life to point out EVERY time I burn the dang rice?

whenever she is around at our house he treats me badly sometimes yelling at me saying it's me when iv'e done nothing at all. his father passed away years ago and the mother does things for attention . the sons let her stay in her home by herself with piss everywhere until they can get over to clean it. nobody really has time to sit and care for her not even me so why wouldn't they put her somewhere instead of stressing everyone out. i'm tired of being blamed for nothing being the daughter-in-law. he stays mad at me fussing etc am afraid to say what they should do or even tell my husband because i feel he will go off and push me etc because of whatever is going on.how do i find out the real problem is because i know it's not so why would he even say that

My mom 50, is divorced and hasn't had a boyfriend in 8 years. She has only been on two dates in the past 6 years and never had a second date.

She is bad at relationships and acts like an immature teen and latches on to men way to quick. She married my father after 8 months of knowing him and that was ugly.

She called me today to tell me she has a "boyfriend" and she has known him for FOUR days. She told me she wanted me and my wife to meet him tomorrow. She also said she is taking him to Thanksgiving to meet the entire family!

She says he is "perfect" for her: never been married, has no children, has his own house and is an accountant.

We were shocked and felt it was so rushed. I am uncomfortable meeting her boyfriend of 4 days. We want her to have a boyfriend so she stops trying to hang out with us all of the time, but this is way fast!

Are we overreacting? What do you think?

Over dinner, I suggested to my unemployed son that he may want to go work at the graveyard with his cousin. His response was. "Work there?, Heck, I want to LIVE there". He's been a bit depressed lately, and did not seem to be joking, should I be concerned? Is this suicidal ideation?

My mother-in-law insists that the time we spend with my parents has to equal (or be less than) the time we spend with her.

If she finds out that we visited my parents three times a month but only twice with her and her husband, she spends ages guilting us about "choosing them over us". My father in law is rather indifferent.

Because my parents live within 10 minutes of us and the in-laws are an hour away, this seems a bit excessive.

I just know that this is only going to get worse when we have children. How can I put a stop to this now, but still be nice? All this aside, my mother in a law is a great woman and I like her very much.

How do you deal with it? Does your child or grandchild experience the wicked awful outbursts, the screaming, the irrational talk etc? Did you institutionalize your child...just how did you manage to not lose your mind?

I am a Chinese young adult living in the U.S. who has preserved the Mandarin language to fluency due to my mother's prodding. I feel like it's a big part of who I am, and it gives me the ability to talk to Chinese on a personal level, as well as expresses my value on this culture that is in my past. I think it's an admirable trait in anyone else who has also taken the initiative to re-learn Chinese as their "mother tongue".

My boyfriend is also Chinese, but is very very Americanized and knows almost no Chinese. As such, he is not able to communicate with my parents (not much English). All his life, his friends and family have told him to learn Chinese, to learn more about his own culture. I have started to want him to consider putting learning Chinese into a part of his life. He is very lazy about it, since it's a very painful language to learn, no instant gratification.

How can I convey to him that it's important (to him and to me)? Is this the wrong thing to do? Thoughts?

he starts whining that i'm bothering him.He treats me bad, my ex.(biological father)is an *** he's only available sundays,not even a phone call on week days.My son tells me he's depressed and sad sometimes.He even tells me that he thinks God is not real,(sniff).
My ex.won't call because he thinks i'll pick up the phone, I told his mom to tell him , i was not picking up the phone,so he can call everyday his 2 boys.But he never does,only sunday morning to pick them up.Besides counseling,what can i do with my son,sort of like a therapy, or hobby,to cheer him up ?He's only happy,when we go shopping for him (not fair).My son was angry at me,even when my ex was living here, my ex would get mad at my son for a reason and my son would take it on me.I want to talk to my husband about our son,but he won't listen to me or tell my son directly exactly what i say.Knowing my son,he'll be embarrassed
and deny everything to his dad.So what should i do ? HELP ! I want to save my son.

Please help me solve my family's Xmas nightmare. I'm the youngest of 3 girls, and we're all married, and my eldest two sisters both have kids and they all live near my parents. We usually all go to sister 2 house for Xmas. Problem: sister 1 no longer wants to spend Xmas day at sister 2 house, as sister 2 husband is an unreasonable pig. Parents always go to sister 2 house as their house is too small. Sister 1 has suggested that as the sisters don't get on, maybe the parents should alternate venues and spend one Xmas with sister 1, then the following year with sister 2, etc. Parents would still see grandchildren at some point on Xmas day as all live locally, but would just not stop for Xmas lunch. Sister 2 has gone balistic. She claims sister 1 has "stolen" her kids' grandparents from her. Everyone fallen out. No one speaking. Parents now having Xmas on own rather than have to choose. I'm trying to keep out of it. Solutions anyone????

My parents have been married for over 30 years and I've always thought that they had a good relationship. Suddenly, last week my dad told my mum that he has been having an affair with a family friend for the past 5 years.

He does not want a divorce and said that he would never leave my mum but had told her out of guilt. He said that he cannot leave the other woman and expects my mum to accept it and everyone to live happily ever after.

My mum is heartbroken, she cries every day for the past week and I cry with her. I'm so upset that my dad could do this to our family and I have lost all respect for him. Everytime I think about him and that woman and what they've done to my mum my heart aches. I know my pain is nothing compared to my mum. I don't know how to deal with this. How can I help my mum, I don't know what advise to give her.

I have upset both my siblings and my best friend. I posted an ambiguous blog on my myspace site ranting about problems people from work were having on a daily basis and talking to me about them. I stated my opinions on everything I'd been asked about, and apparently (without mentioning or even referring to my friends and family) they took it all personal and blew up on me. If that wasn't enough, they started a rumor that spread throughout the town I live in that my fiance was pregnant by another man. She is hurt, to the point of crying constantly. I'm very angry, but can't get myself to calm down enough to talk it out.

What should I do in this scenario?

My mother in law and I barely get along. It got really bad after the birth of my baby.Every week when we are visiting her, she tries to take over caring for the baby. I work hard not to let her but its a stressful visit.I think backing off should be easy for her since she already raised her 3 babies. I want her to let me raise mine even when I'm at her house. When visiting with her she will say things to hubby and I when we are dealing with the baby. For example, on the side line I'll hear her saying, put his blanket on, get his bib, wear are his shoes, etc.She even commented that his shoes were too big and his outfit was not warm enough. She told us we needed to get him a walker about 50 times. I want her to shut up.I say something back to her everytime she says something that offends me but she's not getting the message. I don't even want to be around her with the baby if she's going to act this way.
