I am a busy Mom of four girls. Time does rush by and sometimes relationships don't get the attention that they need. I think you should go to your Mom and tell her how you feel about her! Don't ask her for anything, just be there with her. She is busy no doubt with all those kids. Spend time with her by helping her, while she is doing dishes, making lunches etc. Sometimes it is not possible to take a break to spend time together but you can do lots of catching up while helping her out. I have had the best conversations with my kids while cleaning up with them.

You know, you could always write her a letter. Tell her exactly how you are feeling. Express all of your concerns, just like when you say "she runs off to chase my little brother".......Understand, your mom has a TON on her plate with all those kids, but maybe you could try and plan a day in the future where she gets a sitter for your other siblings and just you two go to lunch and shopping, or a movie? Probably shopping, as a movie forces you to not talk! Anyhow, if you can't talk to her about it, write a nice letter, I bet it will mean the world to her.

Ask her politely: "Mom, I really want to have so time to talk to you without having my little sister around. Can you please make time for that.?" Afterwards, you can see what she says and talk about the problem with her. I don't know how deal with it too much because I never had to go through this as a kid. I only have 1 younger sister, 3 years younger than me, and my parents were always behind my back giving me too much attention and barely gave it to my sister because I am the oldest.

You just ask her. Ask her if she could work some time into her schedule. Just mark off perhaps a 1/2 hour or maybe an hour. That the two of you can spend some quality time together. God bless****

I think you should leave her a nice note on her pillow (or somewhere else she's sure to find it), telling her how much you value your 1 on 1 time together, and you would like to schedule more of it. If you pitch in and help out, you may give her a little bit more freedom to schedule this time.

You are as important to your mother as her own heart ... tell her what you've told us and ask for it! If you never ask you will never get!
She's your mom and she loves you, if you ask her in a positive way, she'll find a way. Perhaps a lunch out together? Even a cheap meal at McDonald's can be a good time together :)

Just tell her. I tell my kids to come to me if they want 1 on 1 time and we try to work it in our busy lives.
