So, I have a 13 month old who has been attached to me since he was born. It seems like me, Daddy and Grandpa are his favorite people. But yesterday I got home from work and gave him a big hug and kiss hello as always, he gave me a smile and then cried and reached his arms out for the nanny. I was immediately heartbroken. Not only was he not so thrilled to see me, but he didn't even want me at all! He wanted the nanny! I know I should be happy that he loves her, but I'm so sad! I'm Mommy! I'm supposed to be number 1! =(

My mother left me and my sister about 9 months ago. She pretty much emotionally scarred me for life. She left her kids for drugs and a bunch of other stuff. She hasnt talked to me in months. Now all of a sudden she wants to come back into my life and be the mother that she will never be.....I cant even talk to her without crying because she hurt me so bad....I dont know if i should let her try to be a mom to me or should i just keep living my life without her?

My boyfriend of 6 yrs had to go to a concert to watch his son last weekend. We go everywhere together except for this. The kids mother called with 1 ticket and only 1. He said she bought 20 tickets and only had 1 left for him.
I think she did it deliberately because she is so jealous of me.
His 2 adult kids from a previous marriage went, and it was just like old times except I wasnt there. Is it me or was she being a manipulative old heffer again? He said she wouldnt do that, but she did, so who is it me or is he giving her too much credit. She has done things like this before.

My mother has cancer and is living with me. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment with an 8 month old and an 8 year old children. There is no other room in the apartment. I am a student fulltime and work part time. My mother is enrolled with hospice. She has been getting worse for the last couple of months. She had 2 surgeries to remove some of the cancer in her liver to prolong her life but it seems to have made her worse. She can do for herself but she wont. I cant even get her to take a bath (please no ewww or make fun) I am the only child (25) and the only other family is my aunt who has a 4 bedroom house. She wont help me with finding my mom a better living enviornment. Would I be wrong to place her in an assisted living facility? I want her to live with me, but I only have a small 2 bedroom and no money to move to a bigger place. I make sure she gets her meds but thats all I can do, having 2 young kids myself. She has medicare. Is assisted living the best, or will I be wrong to do this

If you're a teacher, perhaps your students could participate?


In recent years, my parents health (esp. my mother) has deteriorated. I recently moved 600 miles closer just to be with them. I fear this may be the last Christmas for one or both of them. They really LOVE Christmas cards! As I was rummaging through the attic to retrieve their Christmas decorations, I found Christmas cards they had received from 30 years ago. They throw NONE away. I was trying to think of something really special to do for them for Christmas and I came up with this idea. If you have the Christmas spirit, and want to do something nice for someone (who doesn't?) - please take the time to send my parent's a Christmas card. Christmas was always a magical time of year for our family and I truly want to make this magical for the both of them. Please! God Bless You and I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.

Please forward this to all your family/friends/coworkers.
God Bless!!!

Her parents are divorced and her mother has been in drug rehab in another state.
Her father is in the hospital for a brain aneurism and is lucky to have survived. He lives approx 3 hours away.
She has many brothers and sisters, but the family seems to be scattered since her parents divorce. She just doesnt seem to have much of a family life.
I would like to do something for her nice for Christmas. Any suggestions?

how can i forgive and not feel bitter about someone thats hurt me when the person that hurt me i see all the time, like my mum... She robbed me of all my money from the age of 15 - 19 years old, she made me feel like i was a prisoner in her home. She had no respect for me at all. She had total control over me, i couldnt go out with friends because i had no money. Now im 32 years old, my sister has just moved house and she's dishing out money like theres no tomorrow and she swears to me she can never pay me back the money she owes me. I kept a diary of how much money she took off me. I feel so bitter and hurt and i get upset when i talk about it. She says i should just get over it and move on. How do i deal with this hurt and bitterness and am i ever going to be able to forgive her?

I am 16 of age and currently in sixth form. I am old enough to stay out with mates at nights. I am a black boy and i tend to have friends who go out every friday night, I don't get to go out with them most of the time because my mum is always worried about me going out at nights just because i am a black boy and in a foreign country, so my mum is always protective. she stops me from going out with my friends because she feels some1 might walk up to me and stab me or get shot in town. I go out sometimes and nothing happens to me. But how can i stop her from having this feeling???

Is becoming really annoying with what he calls his new found "gangsta" ways. He goes around sagging his pants listening to horrid rap music and always going on about his "homies in the streets" and it's really starting to make me question his sanity. So I got to thinking, for Christmas, do any of you think I should I help my dear eldest sister by getting her son institutionalized?

It's my Father.
Ever since I can remember he's been very manipulating and when he doesn't get his own way becomes abusive emotionally either directly and/or indirectly.
Throughout the yrs. I've TRIED to make this relationship work/it's just way too long of a story to post here.

Ultimately he seems to put a price on his relationships w/his daughters [me inc.] and I'm sick and damn tired of it because this is NOT what life is supposed to be about.
Now he's all mad because he realizes that he has no power over me concerning money anymore [he was always dangling carrots in my face and constantly speaking of his will]
I told him all I wanted was "TIME" [to spend w/him]
However it has always been us going to visit him, then he never keeps his word about visiting me,unless of course I were in the hospital [when I had surgery]

He's mad at me because of this he says he's not giving out Christmas gifts this year. FINE WITH ME!
HOWEVER he'sTAKING IT OUT ON MY SISTERS TOO!
not good!

Hi everyone, I am just wondering, my 24 year old sister is a pain in the ***. I know thats mean but she is going too far. She is the kind of person that thinks that everything you do is rude, even if it isnt!!! for example, i take an asprin with water standing up, its rude to her. I eat a fruit over the sink, its rude to her. I forgot to say your welcome by accident, she yells at me saying im rude. Worst is when i hit my foot when going upstairs, and it was a real loud thump lol. So I hit my foot really hard, and I yell S*** out loud because it was PAINFUL, then she storms out of her room screaming out loud that i need psychiatric therapy!?!? FOR WHAT!? I cant stand this anymore, everything i do and say is rude when it isnt and she tells me to always be nice yet she snaps for the smallest **** that nobody else would be pissed off about. WHAT DO I DO!?

We have asked my husband's parents to join us at our local social club for New Year's Eve with my sister and her partner and my Mum. He confirmed this with them yesterday and they let it slip to a couple they are friends with that we don't like and have sort of invited them. I said a definite no, my sister and her partner don't like the couple either and as it is also my sister's birthday I think it is unfair.
My husband says that if the other couple can't come then his Dad will have to drive, therefore he cannot drink so could they stay the night at ours. I already have my sister and her partner staying on my living room floor and our one and only spare room is not big enough. If they can't stay at ours then they can't come. That's fine by me but hubby says I'm being unreasonable and we are letting them down. What do you think? My sister asked if she could stay first, if I tell her no then I'll be letting HER down.

Okay I badly worded my previous Question, I'll try this a second time.

My Mom and I usually lock ourselves in a power struggle several times a week. Here's how it works.

My mom expects me to do a lot of things on a daily basis while she's at work. Too many things for me to keep up with before she gets home...
Then she argues at me for not getting anything done and why I didn't do what I was supposed to do. She just asks me too many things, sometimes I forget, usually I write it down but I don't get to it in time, then Mom comes home and argues. When I argue back at her to tell her that I did as much as I could, also asking her "What about everything else I did?"... I don't get a thank you, I just get an argument saying, "Do better next time."

If I argue against that, she starts using ultimatums, also using work as an excuse... Then if I argue about that, it just goes on and on..
