I just learned that my grandma is not good. Only 5% of her kidneys are working and she has weeks, months, or even a year to live. The doctor wants her to go on dyalisis (I don't know how to spell it) and she said she would rather die than go on it. I had a great aunt that had those treatments and she would get sick as a dog and when she would cut herself, she would have to go to the hospital because it was so bad. I know I can't change my grandma's mind. She is 82. I feel so bad that I don't spend as much time with her as I should but I don't want something to happen when I am there. My Mom is staying with her because she needs 24/7 care. What should I do, be with her more and more? I have been through a lot and don't want to see her pass.

She watched the kids for us today which I appreciate but good grief, does she do everything for spite? We asked her to make sure to leave the baby gate closed so my 2 yr old would stay off the computer, she opened it because he wanted to "play", instead bangs his hands on my keyboard and now 2 of the keys are sticking. She though it was funny. I asked her to not give him any juice, only water in his sippy cup she did anyways because "he likes it that way". She knows hes on a strict water diet and only one glass of juice per day from his dr. I asked her to not put anything on the mantle because it had just been stained, she set a pop can on it and then spilled it. Then said, "Oh well, guess you'll have to re stain it". Hubby told her not to give the kids sugar after 8 and she did anyways, claimed, "they need plenty of sugar in their diet". does she do this for spite? Doesn't she know its making us not want to ask her to watch them again? What can I say to her???

I am having trouble dealing with my mother. My husband and I BOTH decided that he and I are going to be the only ones in the delivery room, my mother is throwing a fit about this. I have tried talking to her and he has tried talking to her, but she is demanding that she be in the delivery room with us. I am due in 7 days and she has been coming over to our house every day to "critique" my house cleaning abilities and then start talking about how she should be in the delivery room with us. I am her only child and I understand she cares about me, but what can I do? She is becoming VERY overbearing.

my boyfriends ex is now openly admitting that that child may not be his, it could be her ex boyfriends. She also openly admits she was cheating on him at the time she got pregnant. The child looks nothing like him and shes also doubting the father. He cannot get a DNA test because she wont allow it. He would like to terminate rights but is unsure how to since he signed the birth certificate at the time when he thought the child was his. He is more than willing to care for the child and pay support but there is no cooperation and the longer it goes the more she admits its not his but shes gonna take him for all hes got. any suggestions would be very welcome! thank you!

We sometimes made our own baskets, if not, we used a bowl. We would set it out the night before and yea! Easter Morning we had them all filled to the brim
( my parents never hid them, but they would hide candy around the yard for us to find).
Easter Bunny had fun at our house!
( I did the same with our kids, filled baskets, hid some candy, they loved it. )
What are your memories?

I lost my youngest brother, than my Mom , and then my Dad, in less than six months, this was three years ago. I am just starting to feel depression, and just thinking more about death, how to keep them in my son's memory (10 years old). I still feel empty. As I lost part of my heart, with every Death. More so my parents, as I thought they would live forever! I feel, now, since I am created by my parents, that when my Mom died, first, I lost half of my heart, than when my Dad died, I lost the other half. I am young, but just seems am just going through the stages, three years later! My son seems like is starting grieving more now, also. Always talking about about thing they said or the littlest things of food my Dad will give him when he was in the hospital, like the saltines, and til this day, he loves those little saltines, and he always thinks of his Pop Pop!
I know I am not alone. So, love to know what you all are feeling or felt. Thanks for your answers! (Hugs)

I have a 21 yo daughter with a 3 yo old. She has been smoking pot in front of her and her friends have been doing harder stuff. I love ( of coarse) my daughter but she is getting out of control as she goes to bars and drags home undesirables to stay the night. My question is should I mind my own business or do you think I should report my daughter for what is going on or should I look the other way and hope that things get better? This is a serious question so please no smart *** come backs. Either Way I am going to probably regret what I do! So what do you think?

She's in the hospital right now since she had surgery about 2 days ago. I miss her so much. I get to go to the hospital in the afternoon and evening but I still miss her. I don't even get to see my dog until my mom's out of the hospital because she's at my aunt's house. (They're watching her because my dad & I are at the hospital so much). Help me not miss my mom and dog so much! thanks!

I lost my mom when I was 16. She never got to see my kids or the adult I grew up to be. I often wonder what she would think of my accomplishments and her grand daughters. Do you ever wonder what your parent you lost would think of you and your life, and new family?

OK, so I would reallyreallreally love to go to the Hellogoodbye, The Hush Sound and Boys Like Girls show at Avalon in Boston this upcoming may. I've been waiting to see them all for an extremely long time. You have no idea. Its just that my dad is super paranoid about me getting hurt or something.
I want to go to this show before they all make it SUPER big. So, has anyone ever been to any of these band's shows? Want to tell me what its like? Just so I can have some more things to try and prove to my dad that 14 is old enough to go see a show without a parent there!

I end up watching my nephews a couple times a day. I'm getting annoyed by it because I seem to be the No.1 babysitter in my house since everyone else goes out more often than I do (What can I say? I like being at home). So do parents enjoy breaks? I'll probably feel less annoyed if I knew that all parents like to have time to themselves whenever they can.
