Why do I have such bad luck? How can I change my luck? I've tried being positive but it just seems to get worse no matter what. I had average luck before I married my husband and then once we were married and had our son its so bad that it makes me depressed and I can't stand it anymore. Here's a small example: My husband gets a really bad cold when he's at work and he has to help his mom right after work (all day). He comes home I have to take care of him without getting me or my son sick. My son is crying fussing the whole time. The next day my husband is in bed all day and when he does get up he gets sick. I take my son (18 month old) out to avoid us getting sick and we have car problems. We go for a walk on the greeway and he starts running so I will chase him and while i am pushing the strolling and running I step on the back wheels and twist my ankle. ok - god theres so much more that happens but I don't have enough room to write...any suggestions on how to change my luck???

It seems to me that you just have a hard time dealing with everyday life. There was nothing you said happened to you that was any different than what most people go through on a daily basis.It sounds like you are a very negative person. And as long as you look at everything that happens to you as a major tragedy,your life will be filled with "BAD LUCK". You have a choice in life,to look at everything like you're a victim,or you can get a sense of humor and laugh about some of the things that happen, and be grateful that something REALLY bad hasn't happened to you.I feel sorry for your son to be raised in such a negative atmosphere. Do yourself a favor and go look where there are homeless people. go to a hospital,and see children that live everyday not knowing if it's their last.I bet you will see more smiles on those children's faces,knowing that they have a terminal illness,than you've probably ever had.I don't know what, if anything happened to you to make you think that you have it so hard. But stop feeling sorry for yourself,and get a positive atmosphere going so your son can look at life as a gift,not a burden. That's not fair to him.

Husband has bad luck.
Car has bad luck.
And all you really did was twist your ankle.
Sounds like you haven't got ENOUGH problems, so now you're taking on everyone else's. There is no such thing as luck. Hubby got a cold from contact with someone else who had one. Car broke down because cars just do that sometimes (was it a maintenance issue?). And you twisted your ankle because you're not supposed to run with smaller wheeled strollers.
Get thankful for what you do have. Happy healthy kids, a guy who loves you, a roof over your head, and NO WHINING!

Hi there...Actually, my name IS Harvey...But no connection!...Some of the things you describe, you can do something about. Especially appearance-wise...Other than that, there is a law under which most of us struggle, and that is Murphy's Law, which states that whatever can go wrong, will!...It's not you, trust me... I don't know how old you are, but I think a lot of it is just being a hormonally challenged teen. Don't worry about it! It's natural...Just check your self for the onset of depression. That too can be dealt with. So, I know it's easy for me to say, but "no worries, mate!" Things could be much worse (like having been born in the middle east!) so try not to sweat the small stuff...Good luck to ya and the next time I take a step and sprain my ankle, I'll think of you!...Cheers!...

Yes, calm down and relax mommy. That is the only way to change your luck. Our luck only reflects whats going on inside of us. Smile more, take time to breath, let life take its course. If your baby gets a little giddy up under him, chase him and get him of course, but once you have him take the time to walk back and enjoy the color of the trees, the sky or even his smile. Take the time, dont let the time take you. It makes a difference. Run a hot bath when you get the baby to bed, put in some bath beads from the drug store and close your eyes. Relax and your luck will change.
Best of luck to you, I hope your husband and your ankle feels better and you are in my prayers :)

OUCH... only if i could share my luck. i consider my pretty lucky. but dont think of the bad things that happen but try to think of the good thing vs the bad. you are healthy (right?), you live in a good house (maybe?), you are not poor like those born in Africa or third-world countries, you have internet which means you are doing ok. people take things for granted too much. you have a healthy son. some parents are born with unhealthy childs. (ie. dieses) you have loving husband (i hope) some women get abusive husbands and husbands who cheat on their wives all day. you may have had a bad week but its how you see life. ask for help, dont do things alone, that will be too much for one person to carry. take the pressure off by asking your parents or friends to help. we were not meant to live alone, we were meant to be hleped by others that why we have compassion and have friends and families.
hope this helps. (me) .^_^.

Maybe it's perspective. The thing is, most people try to talk about the good things in their lives, so you never hear the bad things. It sounds like to me you are very lucky:
You have a husband, who appears to be healthy aside from normal sicknesses.
You have a child.
You have a car.
You have legs.
You are literate.
You have acess to a computer.
If you almost lost all of those things, and then didn't lose them, I'll bet you would feel lucky.

There is no such thing as bad luck! If you have faith in GOD things will go the way you want it too.

Thinking positive is a wasted effort:P
Maybe your witch of a mother-in-law cursed ya,maybe you married the wrong guy...or maybe you just need some help around the house.
In the real world, women strugle to take care of multiple dependants (adult and junvenile) and need to relax. Sh*t happens, u just gotta try to step around it;)

Find God and make him ruler of your life. There is no such thing as luck, just heavy faith in god. Doesn't mean your world will turn perfect you'll just have a better handle on things through faith.

I was born unlucky and It appears I will die that way too. Everyone I loved I lost due to illness. The past nine years has been nothing but death. Surrounded by death all the time.
