I am a mother of two, and I have this problem. Every time my kids get sick, I get over paranoyed. I drive the doctor crazy, along with my family. I cant help myself, honestly I am not going for a mother of the year award, I really wish I was not like this. I cry, and loose my ability to do anything, I get awful thougths, and they work into my brain making even worse. Last month my daughter, who is six by the way, got really sick and the doctor told me constantly not to worry that it was just a flu, but I still ended up crying and staying up all night checking on her every half hour. My mother in law gave me valerian roots to help me relax, and it did nothing what so ever. What is wrong with me? Am I setting myself up for the worst? I love my kids, and I dont want them to see me this way. Please, I need an outside opinion.

I have a niece 19 yr old who lives with her 22 yr old boyfriend, which she adores so much and thinks this guy is the right person for her. The boyfriend is not so eager to look for "good jobs", because he knows my niece will take care of him, irregardless. What is the best approach to my niece to let her know that this guy is not the right person for her and to make her know that focusing on her college or whatever vocational schooling is best for her, so she can land into better paying jobs. She does odds jobs here and there, too. Everytime, we tell her these, she gets upset and be rebellious to all. Her parents are separated and she is close by her mother, which she doesn't respect at all.

Have either one of your parents ever gotten so frustrated with life that they just walked out on you and the rest of your family?

I am 19 yrs old
My bf is 20.
We want to move out into an apartment.
But my mom wants me to stay at home and help out still.
I am in college.
MY bf lives in his gmas basement for now.

He works for a floor company and my mom hired the company to work on our bathroom floor for this whole week.
He say our basement that is inhabited and said its a shame we dont even use it because its huge.

Everything down there is breaking or needs to be fixed up because its just left there.

My mom was gunna make me a deal where I pay rent and I dont have to have a curfew.
My bf's sister wants to move into his gmas basement so he wants me to ask my mom if he can pay rent to live down there if he helps fix stuff up.

I think its a good idea cause that way everyone is happy.
Im home still.
Im with him.
Stuff gets fixed up.

But part of me thinks my mom might say hell no. She likes him but IDK if shes gunna go for it.

How should I even bring it up?!

Thanks!

I'm 12, my mom makes me wear an apron at home to help around the house and when she wants even if I'm not doing chores. She says it's sweet and feminine and I look cute. One of my aprons is like the one the girl is wearing at http://www.americanhostess.com/victorianrufflebluecheckzoom.jpg I have others, even frillier. They are cute, but I don't like, especially in front of friends, I get a bit embarrassed. But she says I have to, no reason to get embarrassed, and doesn't back off. She' a wonderful mom, treats me with much love, but makes me wear aprons. Is she right? Should I rebel? If I rebel, should I be punished? Once I tried to rebel, she just said OH Hun, just wear your aprons for me, don't make me sad and gave me a hug. I felt guity, didn't rebel and even promised I won't rebel.

I know the etiquette of not saying bad things about the other parent in front of the child, and to make nice whenever the child is around but how nice do you have to be to the stepparent when they arent around? She acts like Im her best friend and talks to me about their sex life which i could careless about, and when me and the father have a disagreement its her that butts her nose in and gives her two cents into whatever it is. Shes very annoying in nature and if i wouldve met her elsewhere we would not even be talking to each other. I have gone the extra mile to ensure my child is comfortable around them, and havent griped about them when she is around but some of the things she does just makes me angry, so is there a way that I could tell her Im not interested in being friends she is here because of the father without her getting the father to use it against me?

I'm very curious to hear especially from grown children of affairs. I got pregnant during an affair with a much older married man. He wouldn't leave his wife & I wouldn't leave my husband. We went to counseling & spent SO much time working things out by now finally have. He's been wonderful & totally accepted "our" son, who's now 4. However, he never completely wanted to know if he was the father or not (he told me once that he knew I knew the truth but he didn't want to even think about it b/c he loves our son so much). Now that there is ZERO chance our son will ever be reunited with his bio dad, do I ever tell him the truth? I'm very torn... he should know his roots but at the same time, I don't want him to have to live with this burden forever (i.e., I'd like to protect him emotionally).

We have also accepted her other 2 children whom she's had since.Our son could not afford to help so we did.Now she has moved in with the father of her last child & is trying to push us out of the picture.What rights do we have as these are our grandchildren.The one has a rare disease & we took him to every appointment he had in the city at no cost to her.We learned how to administer his meds so he could sleep over.Now after 10yrs.she is trying to push us out due to moving in with the new guy.What can we do?She has the kids calling the dads of the last two, Dad,and our son,the father of her oldest,his buddy,not his Dad &wants us to do the same as she says it's not our right to call our son,dad to our grandson.Is this right?

There is a relative of mine who I'm related to by marriage. There are things about her I just don't like. There have been many times when she's said rude things to others but when someone bluntly says something to her, all hell breaks loose. She always puts other downs but praises herself and thinks shes better than everyone. I've noticed her to be somewhat two-faced as well. She comes from a rich family so I think that gives her a sense of pride. How do I deal with someone like that?

My bf & I have been together over a year now. He’s a lot younger than I am & we currently are living together. About two months ago his grandpa passed away, who he was very close too. Ever since there I have seen a lot of changes in him, he even admits he has changed & not for the better. But he isn’t sure its about his grandpa, but I think theres a connection. The timing is too close for there not to be, IMO. He use to care about his looks, now he barely showers (nice I know), he drinks more (3-4 times a week if he can), he says things like “I don’t care anymore about anything, even myself”. Plus he is moody & just with drawn.

But the hardest thing for me is, the fact he is being really different towards me. He says the change has nothing to do with me. But he feels like we should break up, more than we should stay together. And he doesn’t know why. He says something is gone. Yet he still loves me. He says it has nothing to with me, but if that was true..why would he want to leave?

My grandfather is having his hip replaced. He will home in about 10 days.He will need help at home for a few weeks after that. My mom and I are the only family members willing to help. Last time he had surgery he ran both of us, especially my Mom ragged.I have work and college, and my mom hurt her arm lifting something so she will have a hard time cooking, etc.. Last time he had surgery would not accept ANY outside help. How can we explain to him that he MUST accept outside help this time. We CANNOT be at his beck and call 24/7? Of course we will help him but he is VERY demanding and we simply cannot do it alone.His sister helped clean his house the past few days, but she is leaving because they had an argument.When my mom had a day off from work, he expected her to sit in his house ALL DAY JUST IN CASE he needed something at the supermarket. He will demand to be driven to the store, refuse to make a list, demand to be brought back to the store a few hours later..and so on .HELP!!!!
