we are trying to get pregnent. starting april 28 she started filling wierd she could not explain.then on may 2 she started spotting which has never happend it lasted 2 days and her period does not start tell the 13th of may.she started having diarrea and lower back pain and her boobs looked bigger so we took a ptest on the 5th of may and it was neg. so we tested on the 9th of may and the line was very faint we both saw it.now her boobs are very sencitve but she say it may be from her period. its are first so everything is new to use. thanks for the help. is it a bad idea to get her a mothers day card tomorrow.
Could my wife be pregnent?
If her period is due on 13th that would mean that she is around 11 days past ovulation (dpo) right now. Just so you know the statistics, only 10% of women get a positive pregnancy result at 10dpo. The other 90% of *actually pregnant* women don't get a positive result until much later. However, if you both definitely saw the time, then it sounds very likely.
I would not do the Mother's Day card thing, because right now she is very emotional. And as she said, the symptoms she is feeling can be from PMS as well as from pregnancy. Before her period is the most emotional time, because the body is busy making progesterone .... so I agree that to buy her a pregnancy test to do tomorrow morning (with first pee of the day as it's more concentrated) is a good idea.
Of course, you could get her a gift anyway, and then if there's a line, give it to her as a Mother's Day gift and if it's a negative, save it as a 'just because I love you' gift for another time.
Reply:don't get her a card cos even if she is is anything goes wrong it willbe so upsetting for years to come even if you do have children in the future, any how i would test again in a few days with a different drand test to be sure but i think that she is pregnant aline is a line, but if the line didn't have any colour ie pink or blue depends on your control lone colour then it could be something called an evaporation line, but i am hoping that it is positive have a look on this web site peeonastick.com, it is great
Reply:Sounds like she is pregnant but no i wouldnt get the mothers day card. If she is its still early enough and i hate to say it but it might not last so dont tempt fate. Get her a card next year when you have your little bundle of joy there with you both. Congratulations!
Reply:yea its a bad idea to do the mothersday thing....if you aren't for sure she is preggo.....why don't you buy her a prego test instead?....it could be too early for that too
Reply:try one of the digital pregnancy test have heard they are really good Best Of Luck to you and your wife I would wait on the mothers day card

It seems like DD's First Mom is backing out of contact again. Any advice?
A month ago DD's First Mom promised to buy an expensive gift for DD's B-day. I e-mailed FM and said she did NOT need this expensive gift and i could offer her other ideas. FMom insisted on buying this gift. Then her car broke down. I know $$ is tight for her and its been a month with no responses to DD's emails.
I asked DD to email her FMom saying that just wishing her a happy birthday was enough of a gift. DD said no. She shouldn't break her promises. I explained that she could have bought you the gift but had to take it back to pay for fixing her car. DD said all she has to do was tell me that, I would have understood. DD refuses to email again cause Fmom and sister have not returned her emails.
What should i do? I've bought her a mothers day card. If DD refuses to sign it should I just sign it and mail it? This is the third time DD's First mom has distanced herself. Should i just back off and do nothing? Should i email dd's first mom? DD is disappointed:(

Of course you know much more about your particular situation than you could ever explain in an emails, but this is what I would do:
I'd lay it out in completely clear black and white, DD needs certain, very easy things from the bmom. #1 a b-day card, #2 a phone call at Christmas, #3 etc. Make it sooo easy and clear and next to impossible for her to fail. I'd also explain exactly what you've explained here: keeping promises is important. Don't make promises if you aren't sure you can or will keep them. I would send the card even if DD won't sign it...you and your partner can sign it without mentioning DD's resistence. Keep the doors open!
Reply:She is going to have disappointments through out her life, but what her fmom is doing is not very nice. Go ahead and email her and tell her what she has done. How dissapointed your daughter is.
Reply:I am sorry for what you're going through and can relate to this on so many different levels.
My EX does the same thing to my son. The counselor said that whenever he doesn't follow through on something or doesn't pick him up, that I don't make any excuses. When he filled my sons head with all the things they were going to do for spring break and then didn't show up. It was devasting. The counselor said, "Just give him a hug, tell him you don't know why he did that, and let him know you love him very much."
DD is 10. She is going to realize who she can and can't trust. You are going to have to explain that she needs to watch what people do, not what they say.
This is tough. First mom needs to run things by you. I know I didn't want my son to grow up getting or expecting gifts from people and it sounds like you're the same way. Just tell her in the future, before the holidays or whatever that ya'll can discuss what DD needs. Then she's not to say anything about it until it's a done deal.
I think you've always had a good head on your shoulders and I know you're instincts will come through with the right solution. I can sense that you are hurting for your daughter. Life hurts. Be there for her as you always have been. Help her through this.
You can send a card on your behalf. Let DD do what is right for her. Believe me, no one knows better than DD that this is the third time this has happened.
If it is at all possible, I would seek a few sessions of family counseling. DD needs help. This is a very convuluted situation and it does need to be addressed.
Best wishes. Happy birthday to DD.
Reply:What a mess and this is why I stand by my opinion that open adoptions are head stuffers no offence to you .........
I would treat this like a divorced parent, like torrejon said about laying down certain expectations to keep to commitments
I know that separated / divorced parents do that when th other party doesn't turn up, doesn't ring etc
and that the child will no longer want to see you if you keep letting them down
Good luck with it all
Reply:I can understand your daughter's frustration!
I'd contact mom, and tell her how her failure to answer e-mails is affecting your daughter. Be understanding about the gift, and how hard it must be to disappoint her child, but emphasize that she needs to keep the communication going.
Tell her you are not going to intervene on her behalf again, and that DD is old enough now to have an opinion on the adults she wants to have in her life, and that you are going to back your child.
Tell your daughter that she needs to sign the card, and send it. Remind her that doing the right thing should not be dependent on other people's behavior, but tell her that you won't make her e-mail her other mom again, until mom decides to continue the contact.
Next year, let DD decide whether or not to buy a card.
Reply:I'm sorry your dd is going through this. I don't think I have any extra advice than what you've already gotten. I guess just try to keep the lines of communication open and make it clear that your daughter isn't disappointed by not getting expensive gifts, but she is hurt at no communication. Such a yucky thing for a kid to have to deal with. She's having a rough time lately, poor kid.
Reply:You shouldn't have told DD that her bmom was going to buy her an expensive gift in case things like this happen. It got her hopes up.
If DD refuses to sign it, don't mail it. DD has a right not to have this stuff forced on her.
If this is the 3rd time Bmom has done this, DD is probably getting sick of having her hopes dashed so i would just back away for awhile instead of forcing the issue.
ETA: sorry about making the assumption that you told her about the gifts. BTW, are you sure her car broke down or do you think it was an excuse?

You tell me? please?
I am only a couple days late, but for the past few months i have been putting on weight steadily, peeing like a racehorse day and night, eating everything insight, am so tired i come home from an easy job and fall asleep till morning, i am irritable with my boyfriend at sometimes and can't be with out him others and am so emotional i cried while picking out a mothers day card and every movie i've watched. I keep getting negatives on pregancy tests but some have told me that means nothing. My breasts are a little tender but not overly so. I have never been like this, is it all in my head? I am lost i have gotten my period the past three months, howevers friends say that isn't a sure sign either... help how in the world do i know?
You tell me? please?
Get a dr. appt and get a blood test done.
Best of luck!
Reply:You would know by having your hormone levels checked, and by getting an appointment with a Dr. who can evaluate all of these symptoms.
Make an appointment today. You deserve to not be left worrying about this all the time.
Reply:You really need to see your doctor and have a blood test done. This will let you know for sure if you are pregnant, and give you peace of mind.
Reply:I would head to the doctor for a blood test or scan. It sure sounds like you are pregnant. I wish you the very best!
Reply:blood test/ultra sound is the only way to be sure if you keep getting negative HPTs

Reply:ur may be bipoloar so get that checked out
Reply:Unfortunately, these symptoms aren’t unique to pregnancy. They can indicate you are getting sick or that your period is about to start. Likewise, you can be pregnant without experiencing any of these symptoms.
Pregnancy signs include:
1. Implantation Bleeding
2. Delay/Difference in Menstruation
3. Swollen/Tender Breasts
4. Fatigue/Tiredness
5. Nausea/Morning Sickness
6. Backaches
7. Headaches
8. Frequent Urination
9. Darkening of Areolas
10. Food Cravings
However if you want a confirmed answer on whether you are pregnant or not, there are two alternatives that you can seek. The first alternative is to take a home pregnancy test kit one week or so after your missed period. If you are really pregnant, the pregnancy stick will able to detect it due to your high hormones level. Another alternative is to see and doctor and had blood test done.
Reply:First of all, take a home pregnancy test, and if it comes back negative you should see your doctor. It's possible you could have miscalculated your period being due, and sometimes it is just late. Last month, my period was 5 days late, for no apparent reason.
Honestly, it sounds like what you are experiencing is depression. Sleeping all the time, eating more, irritability and mood swings are also symptoms of a depressive disorder. Once they do a blood pregnancy test, if it still is negative, I would talk to your doctor about how you feel, and see if there is anything they can do to help you feel better.
Good luck! I hope you feel better!

Boyfriends Mom?
Well I guess you can say I have one of those typical military relationship. We have been together for about 7 months and met in training. Anyways, I haven't met his mom and I'm meeting her in 2 weeks. I am going to send her a mothers day card to be on her good side before I show up, but I have no idea what to write... Help... any Ideas??
Boyfriends Mom?
How about, a thank you card for raising such a wonderful man, touch on the positive things you like about him and say something like if the way he is is any indication of how you are then I know we will have a wonderful time together and I am looking forward to meeting you..
Reply:You have a computer you can use so make her a card ... put some nice flowers (ask him her favorites) on the front, and inside write ... You MUST be the BEST mom, because ....(his name) ... is a wonderful guy! THANK YOU! Happy Mother's Day! and sign your name.

After yet another row with my 11 year old son, what can I do?
His attitude stinks. I know, he is approaching his teens and by design, kids become monosylabic, miserable and non communicative. He is developing a real temper though. I try to be calm and talk things out with him but I dont always manage it, I get tearful and very upset and, rightfully angry.
He is not left to his own devices, He lives within a structural upbringing, he is loved, cared for and I give him as much of my time as he needs. Peer pressure is of course strong at this time and he has been picking up stuff from school as they all do.
His dad and I have been divorced for 2 years now and his dad doesnt bother about him, we discuss this however and he has lots of support within the whole family.
As I sit here I am tearful again. He is out with his friends going off to get a mothers day card and a bunch of flowers. I feel he is doing it because he feels he has to, not because he wants to. I just want to forget Mothers Day.
After yet another row with my 11 year old son, what can I do?
try getting him to watch Kevin and Perry at large-he might only be 11 but he is obviously getting his teenage angst early
that film makes teenagers look ridiculous even to other teenagers and its a good laugh. I got my 13yr old son to watch it and every time he has a teenage moment i call him kevin and it always breaks the negative mood
try to ignore the bad behaviour and encourage the good?
I know its really hard but try not to be too emotional because they just cant understand what the big problem is. Save your tears for the 'big' misdemeanours because i am sure there will be some in the future.
Just try to talk to him when he is in a positive frame of mind, its rare but it does happen :0)
good luck and dont worry i am sure he will turn out to be a brilliant son at the end of all this :0)

Reply:Oh I know how you feel! My little girl is 11 and half the time she is my sweet little girl and the other half she is well...mean! She is a only child and certainly spoiled so every time she opens up her mouth and mean words come out I take something away. There have been several times I would not let her see her horse and my latest weapon is 4-H. Whenever she opens her mouth to get smart I just say 4-H and then she shuts up (most of the time). She knows I have reached my limit and will take drastic measures.
My daughter has never even met her biological Father but she has so much love from her family and my husband she doesn't even care. I am a firm believer in Moms being number 1 with their children.
Please keep you head up and stay strong. I know how you feel with the tears and all but your Son loves you more then anything.
Set rules and ground him from the things he enjoys. It is not a perfect solution but it helps.
PS I asked my Dad what to do and he told me it was payback from when I was young. I guess I was a pain too but I grew out of it and I am now a loving daughter and my Brother grew out of it too. It will get better :)
Good luck
Reply:Sounds like a familiar story. He wants to be independent and you want a rigid framework for his own good. I remember that. I saw much of what my mother did as unreasonable.
Negotiation is always the key. Hormones are playing up and probably responsible for the temper but make sure he is not smoking the pipe. That can be responsible for grumpy mornings and can screw up young guys heads. Click below to get some more info.

Reply:Wow. How awful. :(
I'd NEVER treat my mom like that. But boys, are well boys. I never can understand them...
Reply:My daughter went through that stage as well and the best piece of advice I can offer is to not let it get to you. It is a normal stage and it will pass. Just keep things as they are (he knows he is loved) and he will one day start talking again and become the person he used to be. As for mother's day don't put a negative spin on it....if he really was a nasty kid he wouldn't even bother getting you anything. Accept his card and flowers graciously and don't even suggest to him you think he is doing out of presure or guilt.
Reply:You have an up-coming marriage, right? Since he has been abandoned by his father, in his eyes he is now "losing" you to someone else and you are his most important and closest confidant. He is most likely afraid that you will be taken from him. You need to assure him that he is not "losing a mom, but gaining a dad". Encourage your fiance to spend one-on-one time with him, i.e. fishing, batting cages, roller skating, movies of his choice, etc. whenever possible.... He needs to form a bond ASAP with your fiance. Once he realized that you are both there for him, he'll feel safe and unthreatened again. Equally important is for you to somehow include him in the wedding ceremony (Best Man, groomsman, usher, etc).
Take him aside and ask him how he feels, and assure him that you won't be angry regardless of his answer.
Then make sure you give him a great big hug!
Reply:As you suspect he is hurting from something, you and his dad splitting up and the lack of contact since from his dad will be really effecting him, I wish I knew what to say that would make him open up to you!
Is there another family member/close friend who could have a go at talking to him?
As for tomorrow, it is only one Mother's Day, there are plenty more to come so I am sure you will have many more 'happy' ones to come!
Reply:How about getting him a 'Big Brother'?
Edit: I mean a Big Brother from the Big Brother, Big Sister program, or something similar to it?
Reply:Its not mothers day yet, not for awhile. You sound depressed, why not you both go see shrinks?

Reply:Oh I know how you feel! My little girl is 11 and half the time she is my sweet little girl and the other half she is well...mean! She is a only child and certainly spoiled so every time she opens up her mouth and mean words come out I take something away. There have been several times I would not let her see her horse and my latest weapon is 4-H. Whenever she opens her mouth to get smart I just say 4-H and then she shuts up (most of the time). She knows I have reached my limit and will take drastic measures.
My daughter has never even met her biological Father but she has so much love from her family and my husband she doesn't even care. I am a firm believer in Moms being number 1 with their children.
Please keep you head up and stay strong. I know how you feel with the tears and all but your Son loves you more then anything.
Set rules and ground him from the things he enjoys. It is not a perfect solution but it helps.
PS I asked my Dad what to do and he told me it was payback from when I was young. I guess I was a pain too but I grew out of it and I am now a loving daughter and my Brother grew out of it too. It will get better :)
Good luck
Reply:Sounds like a familiar story. He wants to be independent and you want a rigid framework for his own good. I remember that. I saw much of what my mother did as unreasonable.
Negotiation is always the key. Hormones are playing up and probably responsible for the temper but make sure he is not smoking the pipe. That can be responsible for grumpy mornings and can screw up young guys heads. Click below to get some more info.

Reply:Wow. How awful. :(
I'd NEVER treat my mom like that. But boys, are well boys. I never can understand them...
Reply:My daughter went through that stage as well and the best piece of advice I can offer is to not let it get to you. It is a normal stage and it will pass. Just keep things as they are (he knows he is loved) and he will one day start talking again and become the person he used to be. As for mother's day don't put a negative spin on it....if he really was a nasty kid he wouldn't even bother getting you anything. Accept his card and flowers graciously and don't even suggest to him you think he is doing out of presure or guilt.
Reply:You have an up-coming marriage, right? Since he has been abandoned by his father, in his eyes he is now "losing" you to someone else and you are his most important and closest confidant. He is most likely afraid that you will be taken from him. You need to assure him that he is not "losing a mom, but gaining a dad". Encourage your fiance to spend one-on-one time with him, i.e. fishing, batting cages, roller skating, movies of his choice, etc. whenever possible.... He needs to form a bond ASAP with your fiance. Once he realized that you are both there for him, he'll feel safe and unthreatened again. Equally important is for you to somehow include him in the wedding ceremony (Best Man, groomsman, usher, etc).
Take him aside and ask him how he feels, and assure him that you won't be angry regardless of his answer.
Then make sure you give him a great big hug!
Reply:As you suspect he is hurting from something, you and his dad splitting up and the lack of contact since from his dad will be really effecting him, I wish I knew what to say that would make him open up to you!
Is there another family member/close friend who could have a go at talking to him?
As for tomorrow, it is only one Mother's Day, there are plenty more to come so I am sure you will have many more 'happy' ones to come!
Reply:How about getting him a 'Big Brother'?
Edit: I mean a Big Brother from the Big Brother, Big Sister program, or something similar to it?
Reply:Its not mothers day yet, not for awhile. You sound depressed, why not you both go see shrinks?

What should i do?
my g/f of almost 3 years was caught cheating on mothers day. about 2 months ago i had a feeling that she was but she said TRUST me im not... so i did. I took her her mothers day card to her and there he was (and its kinda hard to hide the hickies that he put on her neck. Now she is saying that she doesnt want to be with me or any1 right now. i was gonna ask her to marry me this week. She told me she needs time to figure out what she wants and that she still loves me and does want to spend the rest of our lives together. WHAT DO I DO
What should i do?
leave her and get over her
Reply:why would you want to marry someone that cheated and lied to you how can you trust her how do you know that she wont do the same when your married its your choice you are to break up with her don't waste you efforts and your kindness on someone that doesn't deserve it well she had said she doesn't want to be with anyone at the moment and I'm sorry to be brutally honest about this but because she doesn't want to be with you and doesn't know how to let you go give her space and move on its hard enough trying to pick up the pieces after someone Tc good luck:)
Reply:Let her think about it. Maybe go talk to her. She needs sometime to "figure out herself" and what she wants to do. Trust me, I bet that she DOES still love you, but right now she needs some time to think. Although, I bet that she would really like for you two to sit down and talk, too. Good luck
Reply:She wants to keep her options open for as long as passable, I do not think you need a problem like this in your future do you?
These behavior traits do not disappear, she will be like you see her now for ever.
Go to different places and meet new people do new things that will enrich your life, not be some ones Yo-Yo.
Good Luck
Reply:YOU should be the one telling her that you need time and space to figure this out. Don't let her have you waiting and hurting when she did wrong, i say MOVE ON, she obviously is a lier and a cheater and not worth the pain.
Reply:This is a dilemma. If you really love her, you could forgive and forget, but your relationship will always have trust issues.
I honestly would try to move on, but I know that this is very hard for you, as it would be for anyone.
Good luck.
Reply:i know its going to be hard but you are going to have to get over her. you deserve someone better than her. whatever you do, dont go back to her. shes just saying you guys need separate time for the hickey to go away.
im sorry bout your situation. good luck.
Reply:hate to break this to u but if she wanted to be with you she wouldn't have been cheating on you. If you do go back to her she will just do it again. Move on and find someone who is worth yur time.
Reply:Thats a hard decision. Once someone cheats, they usually always will. The trust just isn't there for you anymore. So what happens when you get married and she cheats? If I were you I wouldnt do it.
Reply:omg, why didn't you just dump her and find another girl? I mean don't take it personally, but if I were you, I would have moved on a long time a go!
Reply:wow i know you love her but geeze let her go... what a jerk she is.. you can never trust her again, if she did it once, she will do it again. sorry that means ending it but she is shady..
Reply:Give her time
I wouldn't trust her enough
for me to marry her
once a cheater always a cheater
Reply:dump her sorry a** shes not good enough shes just useing u i wouldnt trust her if i loved her that much cuz your just ganna end up hurt iv been cheated on so many times and all it did was come back around and bit me in the @$$
Reply:move on. You will never be able to trust her again.....
She doesn't want to be with anyone buts wants to sleep around ...... AND spend the rest of her life with you??
Sounds like you deserve better.
Reply:Ask her to marry you. If she says no, tell her you can't wait for her forever. Then, move on. Ignore your heart ache and use your head.
Reply:Give her time... if she doesn't come back then you know she's not the one. it'll be hard because its been 3 years but time heals all
Reply:why didnt you ask to marry her earlier ??? maybe she needs someone more serious, she didnt want some1 who waits for 3 years b4 asking. I will do the same thing if you waste my time too much.
Reply:how awful of her! forget about her and move on. if she'll cheat now, she'll cheat later.
Reply:I wouldn't trust her again, she broke your heart :(
but, it's up to you..
Reply:SHe's a no good whore.....you'll be happier without her
Reply:What you need to do is stop begging this girl you don't need her. She is confused over what she wants and clearly she does not want you let her go I know its very hard to do this but who needs this type of girl who can not commit to a relationship. I know for sure she will regret cheating on you but what you need to know and learn she has other priorities right now that do not involve you. Its going to be super hard to move on because you have been dating her for about 3 years but come on this can not be your excuse. You need to go out meet new people and it will take time but you will move on, You need to stop talking to this girl and keep no connection what so ever with her. I promise you if you go back with her she is only going to break you apart. Let her go who needs a hoe.
Reply:Im very young but heres what "lovers" would do.
If she's worth the pain;;
If you really love her and you really want to work it out with her. Then just take her back. You need to keep a good eye on her and dont let her go NO WHERE by herself. Keep a close eye on her and wait a couple more years until you propose, because you never know she might just be the WRONG girl.
If she's not worht the pain;;
Then just leave her. Gather up everything that you had together, anything that reminds you of her and put together in a pile. Go out to your backyard and put up a fire. Burn everything and go out to the club and party. It will get her off your mind and you can be with friends and your social life.
Reply:First off, I'm terribly sorry to hear that, it;s hard on ANYONE.
If I were in your shoes, I would use the time that she needs to consolidate her thoughts, to think things over myself.
Go over who you think she is and the person that she now appears to be. She seems to have issues, think about them, long and hard; can you trust her? Do you really want to be with her? How would things be if you got together? And, is it worth it in the end if she doesn't want to be a life partner.
Call up some friends or family. Talk to people about it. Don't let this build up. Go see a movie, Forgetting Sarah Marshal is a closely related movie, but it is pretty funny. Do some things that you enjoy, do something things that you wouldn't normally do -- by this I mean in good practice, stay away from anything that will harm you --
When the time is right, talk to her (if she will) and see if you can figure things out.
I hate to say it, but it looks like a dead end; you never know though.
But if you seriously want to try to stay with her, do some MAJOR thinking about it.
I'm sorry to hear about your misfortune.

Need some advice?
my sister and me were close when we were little but her vision gradualy went bad anyway when i was 10 she started bashing me and my mum then my sister was bashing my mum up because i found tablets in her bag that were mine mum anded up telling the police but they did nothing then a couple of months later she was having a figh with my mum and i tried to stop it but i got pushed on the ground and had to be rushed to osepital in sydney. about 3weeks later she chucked a bottle of detergent at mum's eye i took mum up to the hosepital and then becky tried to say i did it but i didnj't because if i did it i would have not taken mum to the hosepital but then in someways i wish i did it so becky would have not left because she was always mums favourite she never returned after that mum always gets a birthday card and mothers day card i always wish becky a happy birthday when i hear her voice in the suppermarket when it is her birthday i don't know what to do i just want my sister back
Need some advice?
I know that feeling sweetie. I have a sister that I love more than words can say ,but while growing up me and my mother had the problems. Your sister probably loves you more than you will ever know but it is very hard for her to forgive your mother for whatever she did to her. Finally , after about 5 years i called my sister, who is in Florida now and we both cried, because the love has never left either one of us. Even at family gatherings , like christmas my sisters and brothers go to my moms but i dont . but now all of my brothers and sister call me while they are there because they know why i am not there. Its not that i dont love them it is just because i can not get along with my mother anymore. I did try quite a few times but i give up. I love my mom also , but i just dont like her ways so therefore we dont have anything nice to say to each other and the best way to deal with it is just to not talk right? But please try your best to go around your sister one day without your mom around if you are able because you will probably be very shocked at the love she holds inside for you.!!! Good luck to you and i hope with all my heart that you and your sister will be able to build a bond with each other!!!!!
Reply:i'm sorry, but what exactly are you asking?
is your mom and sister always following you around?
what's about this hearing her voice in the supermarket? are you just imagining things?
I'm not just saying this to be rude =x
Reply:Sure sounds like you have had a mighty rough life. I am sorry for that. There doesn't sound like there is alot that you can do to remedy this situation between you and Becky unless she wants to remedy it. It doesn't sound like like mom is being much help either. I take it that Becky lives in the same town as you. Do you still live at home with Mom? Does Becky come to the house to see Mom at all?
Maybe you could get ahold of a tape recorder and make a tape for Becky and tell her how you feel and that you miss her and would like to have a good relationship with her again and see if Mom or someone would make sure it gets to Becky. Then you would just have to wait and see what she decides to do about it. If she does not respond, then you need to just accept it for now and move on with your life. You cannot force her to become a close sister again. If she is telling all these lies about you and allowing her friends to say these mean things to you...then she is not much of a sister anyway and you are better off without her.
What does your mom do when she is with you and these friends of Becky's start calling you names? Does she defend you and tell them to shut up? If mom is not standing up for you, then maybe you need to consider moving out of mom's and going somewhere on your own. There are blind schools you can go to, or perhaps you can go and live with another relative.
You sound so stressed in your letter and I feel so sorry that you are having to go through this. I wish there was something that I could do to help you!! I would sure be willing to try!! Write me if you want to to talk further.

Will she know that I like her?
I like one of my coworkers. I like her personality. She always jokes with me at work about cooking her food and bringing her gifts. For a while she kept asking me y I didn't make her breakfast. I kind of didn't know rather she was joking or serious; so I made her a really nice breakfast (pancakes, omelette, and ham) and brought it to work for her. Other workers exaggerated and told her that that breakfast looked really good and special. She really liked it, and she cooked me something a few days later. Now she jokes about buying her some mothers day chocolate and bringing breakfast again. So I'm going to do it, I bought the chocolate and a mothers day card (she is a single mom) and I'm going to bring her breakfast again. Do you think that I'm showing signs of liking her? I'm not really ready to date her yet, so I don't want to tell her I like her. But is it showing already?
Will she know that I like her?
It may be showing a little. You are doing what she's asking and taking her jokes seriously. So, it may show a little. It is alright if you show your sign of liking her a little, so there's nothing to worry about.
Reply:Well YEAH. And I think she likes you too. Just keep playin it cool and things will set in place all by themselves. She may ask you.
Reply:hell yes it's showin that you are interested...
you need to start conveying your feelings to her now... start opening up to her about how you are interested in her...

PICASSA! NEED HELP FAST PLEASE x!!?
I have just installed picassa and am making my mom a mothers day card by creating a collage on it. How do I put more photos onto my collage???
PLEASE HELP!!! TYVVM x
PICASSA! NEED HELP FAST PLEASE x!!?
You need to select all the photos you want in the collage first.
You can not select pictures from different folders, so make a new album to put all the photos in from different folders/albums.
Click the collage button and choose the type of collage you want.
As far as I know, you can not go back and add more photos afterwards since Picasa creates a completely new image.

Cards for ex from kid?
I divorced my ex when my son was about 1. He is now coming up on four - I have him about 1/3 of the time. Since he was two I've bought cards for the ex on mothers day, her birthday, Xmas, and valentines day for my son to give to Mommy. He just scribbles in them, but now that he's older he's excited to give them to her. I do this because I want him to get into the habit of doing this, so that when he is older, he can do it on his own. He also colors pictures here that I let him take for Mommy. Our divorce was ugly, and things have declined since then. She's been real bad lately - leaving nasty messages, and saying she is going to go after more support (already gets $1000 monthly) I'm tempted to stop having my son do cards and stuff on holidays for his Mommy. Whadya think. Part of me thinks that I've been way too nice up until now, the other part thinks that this is about him and her - not her being a bitc$ to me, and that I should continue enabling him to do stuff 4 her.
Cards for ex from kid?
You said yourself that your son is excited to give the cards to his Mommy. Don't let her attitude interfere with your child's happiness. You are doing a great job and you are not "too nice", you are instilling values in your son. Don't let her meanness make you be the "bad parent".
Your son treasures these cards, so you continue being the dad that you are.
Reply:You're right, you are split. You do have to be a different person for your son and for your ex.
Continue to be a good influence on your son, keep that up. And fight when you have to on adult terms when your ex continues to hazzle you.
If your child enjoys this and gets excited over it, continue to do it, it enriches your relationship with him. He'll remember how nice you were to his mom. He'll become a man one day and he will take notice that it was because of you.
Reply:Continue taking the high road and buying the cards for your son to give to his Mom. When your son gets older and realizes how his Mom really is, he will realize what you have done for him. He will always appreciate it and will hold you in a special place in his heart.
If things keep escalating between you and your ex, never ever say anything bad to your son about his Mom or put him in the middle between the two of you.
Keep taking the high road, keep being nice etc. Believe me, it will pay off in the long run.
Reply:I say be the bigger man. You are instilling many good values in your child. The last thing he needs is to see you be hateful. Bite your tongue and do what's best for him at this point. It will pay off later down the line.
Reply:i think you are doing the right thing getting your son to give his mother cards and nice drawings and stuff while he is with you.
i come from a broken home, and believe me when your son grows up he will thank you for being the grown up and being polite towards his mother when it would have been so easy to do what she is doing.
believe me kids remember everything.
your doing the right thing
Reply:Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Keep encouraging your son to write cards for his mommy. You will be setting a good example by being the bigger person in this situation, and you will show him that -- although his mommy may not like you so much -- you still feel that it is important to show her respect.
Reply:I am sure she doesn't do the same for you.
However, your son looks forward to this, so let him keep on doing it. As for the child support, look at the laws, you might be able to get it lowered.
Reply:the cards are from him not you. You want to hurt her but if he gets really excited bring them to mommy you'll hurt him more. Keep telling yourself you are teaching your son to be a good person. And get your self a good lawyer and fight for custody of him. He needs the good parent raising him.
Reply:I think what your doing is very nice.
Too bad she's being such a (*********) about everything.
Good~Luck to you and your son :-)
Reply:Keep getting her cards. Show your son how to grow up to be an honorable man.
Reply:If he looks fwd to it, I say continue doing it. It isnt hs fault his mother is a SNOT.
I just suggest using cheap cards...LOL...
Reply:No dont stop.. i know u want to cause well she's being a b***h but whats more important to teach ur son to do the right things, and the proper way of handling a situation.. or falling prey to her being an idiot and letting cloud your judgement on who u are as a father? Although u may buy the cards, although u may buy the paper and crayons that ur son uses to make things for his mom, its still suppose to be from him to her.. dont let her being an idiot sway u from doing what is right by your son. What ur doing makes u a better person, and a better parent.. dont let that witch change that about u..
I think ur doing a great job..keep it up.. dont let anyone change who u are to ur child and right now ur on the path to being exactly what he needs a great male role model.. so dont let that go not for your x or anyone..
Reply:If your son is excited about doing this for her, then you shouldn't take that away from him. In time he will see that she is not doing the same and may even ask her why not. That could be an opening for things to get better. But as it stands now, I'd say keep being the better person, in the end it will pay off for you. Good luck.

I need advice?
my daughter is 25 and says i dont stick up for her. i was filing for divorce cause of her. i would give up everything just to make her happy. she never sent me a mothers day card or not even called me. the question is, should i send her a birthday card
I need advice?
Yes,youre her mother,send her a card and let you know you love her....just because shes acting childish doesnt mean that you should...also...your daughter needs to grow up....shes a adult now...mommy cant fight her battles
Reply:YES, YOU SHOULD SEND HER A CARD. BUT ON THE OTHER NOTE YOU NEED TO STEP BACK AND LET HER GROW UP!!! WHAT DO YOU MEN YOU ARE GETTING A DIVORCE CAUSE OF HER? IF HE DID NOT ABUSE HER OR ANYTHING TO THAT EXTENT THEN YOU ARE NOT DIVORCING FOR HER. SHE IS A GROWN WOMAN NOW AND YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO LIVE YOUR LIFE AND ENJOY YOU ARE NOT LIVING FOR HER. MAYBE SHE IS USING THE GUILT TRIP THING ON YOU AND YOU SHOULD NOT FALL FOR THAT. YOU CAN NOT MAKE UP FOR WHAT YOU DID NOT DO, WHATEVER MISTAKES YOU MADE IN THE PAST YOU CAN ONLY START AT WHERE YOU ARE. SHE IS MANIPULATING YOU. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT YOU ARE DEALING WITH SELF ESTEEM ISSUES AND ARE NOT SURE OF YOURSELF AND YOUR DAUGHTER IS USING THAT TO HER ADVANTAGE. APOLOGIZE FOR WHAT YOU DID IN THE PAST AND MOVE ON IT IS UP TO HER TO ACCEPT OR NOT. BUT DO NOT WALK AROUND BEING GUILTY.
Reply:If your daughter is 25, she's an adult. It's not your job to make her happy or file for a divorce "for" her. Clarify some boundaries for yourself and for her. You're not her best friend, you're her mother. Certainly send her a birthday card. Work on the mother-daughter bonding, but live your own lives. It's not good for you or for her.
Reply:As a mother you need to show unconditional love. Of course, you should send her a birthday card, even if she never sends you anything. BUT do not continue to live your life around her. She is 25 and an adult, and why you would get a divorce FOR HER is beyond me. You need to start living for YOU!
Reply:yes, shes your daughter. and until they have kids they wont appreciate anything their parents have done. do you remember the saying"just wait until you have kids". she might not thank you now but someday she might. so wish her a happy birthday and chalk it up for a future thank you
Reply:Yes, you should because you are the adult and need to set the example, but you are filing for divorce because of her? I don't know the circumstances but that sounds wrong. Don't do it unless you want a divorce!!!!
Reply:Send her a card, but don't get a divorce for her, the divorce should be for you, because you know it's right for you.
Reply:Your divorcing for her? Hmmmm sounds like she needs to grow up and sometimes that calls for some tough love. You have to let her go and she needs to let you go so she and you can grow.
Reply:Yes that is your daughter , just because your daughter is an inconsiderate spoiled brat doesn't mean you should be .
She should be ashamed of herself treating her mother like this .

Has britain gone stir crazy??
Whats wring with britain today.
Watchinh tv yesterday and they saying about a school banning mothers day card so as to not offend orphans. Just cos you dont have a mum doesn't mean you cant make a card for the person who cares for you.
There was a primary school who banned skipping ropes in case there was suicidal child??? do children think of suicide at 5 or 6yrs, or are we just putting ideas in their heads?
My friends mum was a dinner lady and she got into trouble for cutting a 5 yr olds food up for them.
Anybody else worried about this or just me??
Has britain gone stir crazy??
Nah, that can't just be you. The school systems are so afraid of litigation they are going overboard to protect themselves from every conceivable possibility.
We're getting some of that over here in the states.
There is a "no touch" policy. Which means they can't play tag.
Huh? We played tag as kids. We played dog pile and break the chain. We slid across the ice patches and ran into each other... Now they tell 'em "No running!". Come on! They can't work off their energy and then when they get back to class the teachers wonder why they can't sit still.
Another kid "..fell on top.." of my kid and my kid thought it was on purpose so he hit him. He's in 2nd grade. They classified it as Assault and Battery. Just so you know, Assault and Battery is a term the police use when you beat someone up.
We're ready to home school our kids. If I didn't think it might turn 'em into social retards we'd already be doing it... It's that or pay for private school.

Reply:you should be ashamed for using a computer which emits radiation in such a close proximity to local children and youre damaging the environment - i need councelling for what youve done to me.
seriously though - yep its all nuts, so i stick to one simple rule, i live inside my own little imaginary bubble and have nothing to do with any situation that doesnt already involve me unless its some sort of request for help from an adult who is willing to sign a release beforehand.
Reply:Britain has NOT gone stir crazy, many of the people have though
Reply:i watched the same programme.
phillip schofield was fuming,
my daughter is now 16 and when she was in nursery,they taught tem baa baa white sheep,as not to offend,then the only black kid in the class,i was fuming,i went straight into the school and demanded my child either sang the right version or not to sing it at all,that was like 13 years ago,
people are now to afraid to speak up,incase they are branded racist.
also teachers are not allowed to quitely have a word with parents,of whom children have nits,even tho they know who they are,and head teachers can only send out 2 nit letters a month,incase they offend people with nits..
like doh....bring back nitty nora,the bug explorer
this country is a complete joke...
Reply:You're not alone in being worried....
This wonderful Great Britain is going loony tunes with rules
Protect our kids yes
wrap 'em in cotton wool? Nah... how can they develop?
We need to find that in between again... and stop spoiling our future generations, and allow them to grow...
Reply:im adinner lady at my sons school.we dont have that level of paranoia yet!but its all too political i agree!xxthink we are lucky-we moved here to Sufolk to escape the Essex crap bout 4 years ago.wer miss the life but its the best thing ever 4 my son!!
Reply:i saw that - it was on this morning. It is pc gone mad My son is in primary school and if he couldn't do up his trousers after using the loo i would go mad that no-one was allowed to help him and he was upset. And the fact that fooball in banned in a school because if the ball hits you it hurts - a lot of things in life hurt, kids have to learn. If the ball hit them in the face and it hurt they will learn to duck, it did the rest of us no harm! Most kids after a quick cuddle forget about the pain and run off to join in again. - oh yeah i forgot you can't hug kids!!! Give us a break.
Reply:The basics of it is our very existence as British people is offensive to some twisted hyper liberal minds as this is never going to stop until we weed them out of positions of power
Their thinking is we should be doormatts for everyone else because 100 years ago we were so so horrible to everyone else.
Time to get rid of the hyper liberals/PC police and fast
before they do anymore damage to the UK
In terms of the effect PC policy has had on schools, they now cannot appreciate mothers day and yet are soon to be fed bias towards certain alterantive sexualitys in the forms of story books?
It must be an Utter Nightmare in todays scools
Reply:you are not alone my friend,it is silly,my mum has passed on but i still get her a little something like and ornamante or card, this is an ongoing problem like nits if a teacher sees a nit in a childs hair then they are not allowed to tell that parent as its classed as discrimination,thats prob y they are such a problem these days i wouldnt be offended if they told me my child had nits id wanna know.
Reply:i would hate to be at school now. it must be sh*t. kids aren't allowed to play anymore. coming home with skinned knees etc; was part of a good day at school.
too much " cotton wool " approach now. what sort of woosses will be about in 20 years time if they haven't experienced a bit of rough and tumble or the true facts of life ?
Reply:I agree with you, its all getting so pathetic. Its gone beyond common sense now and into stupidity. The way things are going we wont be able to doanything in the future without risk of offending someone or breaking some pathetic and over sensitive helath and safety regulation. Why cant we just be allowed to be British and get on with our lives.
Reply:I totally agree with you. Everyone seems paranoid to me nowadays. Frightened to do anything 'normal' in case we offend someone.
Reply:Hahahahahaha, that is hilarious, and yes is would concern me, if I lived in Britain. Fortunatly, i live in America. God Bless.

My mom is totally ignoring me just like she used to after she left me when I was just a little baby. I forgot?
to mention that I had to go through living hell having to live with her during my 8th grade years up until I was almost 18. She used to let me crawl on the ground at her friends house with her friends snake on the ground when I was just an infant. I was told this many years later. Yet she still continues to ignore me even after my dad died in the begining of this year. Jan. 4th of 08. I just don't know how to handle this or her. How do I? I don't even want to send her a Mothers day card but I have to since I am living with her dad. What am I suppoed to do?
My mom is totally ignoring me just like she used to after she left me when I was just a little baby. I forgot?
you are an adult, so be your own person; and choose your friends even a mother.
Reply:Just ignore her back. That would get on her nerves then she would have to talk to you. I wouldn't send her a card for mother's day even if I lived with her dad or mom. She will have to ask you why you didn't send her a card.
Reply:wow, tough sitch. I'm sorry your dad died this year JAN. 4 "2007"! Anyway, I'd go with the person above.

My Ex is writing me from Jail! He knows I'm engaged but still has a fantasy that we are still together what 2

My Ex is writing me from Jail! He knows I'm engaged but still has a fantasy that we are still together what 2
By accepting his cards you're encouraging him to continue to write you. When you recieve the mail, simply write on the unopened envelope, "Return to Sender". He should get the hint.
Reply:Good advice!!! Report Abuse
Reply:Get a restraining order.
Reply:Tell him that you have moved on and that you have no love for him. You two have a child together? That will make it a bit tough and I also hope he is not violent. Don't want him to go after you when he gets out. You may have to get a restraining order is he continues in the future for when he gets out. As long as your new man is there to get you through this you will be ok. Good luck and congrats on your engagement - I also plan to get married this summer.
Reply:Contact the jail governor and let him know that you are receiving unwanted and unsolicited mail from one of the inmates that is making you uncomfortable. Tell him that you have asked this guy not to contact you, but he keeps doing it! Any letters you receive from him, either send them back unopened or tear them up and send back the pieces!
You need to make it clear to this guy that you are no longer interested in him and have moved on with your life and are happy and planning a future with the love of your life, and your future doesn't include him!
Reply:Let him know that under no circumstances is it going to work out. You have moved on and he needs to do the same. Tell him you would like him to be respectful of your decision and that you no longer appreciate letters containing love and affectionate messages.

Reply:Write him back and tell him how you feel and tell him to stop writing and if he does keep writing to you refuse the letters and they will be sent them back to him and he will get the hint.
Reply:You should explain this to him very clearly. Let him know that you are engaged and that you are HAPPY with your future husband. Ask him gently not to disturb you anymore. And tell him that if HE REALLY LOVES YOU he should STOP bothering you, and let you live your life.
Try to make it clear to him that YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO GET BACK TO HIM and that he should live his life and leave you alone.
I hope thisworks out, otherwise you have to report it to the police as violation.
I wish u all the best and Good luck
Reply:He is just playing on your feelings sending you a mother's day card. You need to ignore him because all you are doing is stiling up trouble for later. Don't be one of these worthless a_s_s women getting caught up in stupid bullshit like that move on ignore him and forget him.
Reply:He is incredibly lonely and desperate for someone to be on his side while he is in jail. I would write him,
"Dear John, You know I am engaged. The cards and letters you send are not appropriate. I want to be there for you as a friend, but will have to stop reading your letters if this continues."
Reply:Write one last letter telling him it is over because....
Then move house.
He already has a soul mate....oh I mean a cell mate sorry. :-)
Reply:you ignore him. return all of his letters unopened. just write "return to sender" on the envelope and the mail man will take them back
Reply:Which one do you love the most?
Reply:you need to tell him your engaged one more time maybe he'll hear you then tell him to stop writing you and also tell him that you found somebody thats trying to make something or theirself and your going to spend the rest of your life with that person and that there's no need to talk to you and maybe after that he'll stop calling for sure

My Ex is writing me from Jail! He knows I'm engaged but still has a fantasy that we are still together what 2
By accepting his cards you're encouraging him to continue to write you. When you recieve the mail, simply write on the unopened envelope, "Return to Sender". He should get the hint.
Reply:Good advice!!! Report Abuse
Reply:Get a restraining order.
Reply:Tell him that you have moved on and that you have no love for him. You two have a child together? That will make it a bit tough and I also hope he is not violent. Don't want him to go after you when he gets out. You may have to get a restraining order is he continues in the future for when he gets out. As long as your new man is there to get you through this you will be ok. Good luck and congrats on your engagement - I also plan to get married this summer.
Reply:Contact the jail governor and let him know that you are receiving unwanted and unsolicited mail from one of the inmates that is making you uncomfortable. Tell him that you have asked this guy not to contact you, but he keeps doing it! Any letters you receive from him, either send them back unopened or tear them up and send back the pieces!
You need to make it clear to this guy that you are no longer interested in him and have moved on with your life and are happy and planning a future with the love of your life, and your future doesn't include him!
Reply:Let him know that under no circumstances is it going to work out. You have moved on and he needs to do the same. Tell him you would like him to be respectful of your decision and that you no longer appreciate letters containing love and affectionate messages.
Reply:Don't acknowledge his letters. Don't write back, and write "Return To Sender" on them and he'll get them back and know it's not working.

What are some ideas for a homemade Mother's Day basket~besides a card & flowers, when mom is diabetic???
My mom is diabetic, and she really don't do much or really needs anything. I am clueless about what to get her for Mother's Day, but I was thinking about making her a homemade basket with some goodies in it... In the meantime I started a little project with my kids %26amp; nephews~~planting flower seeds and decorating the pots etc.. and a homemade card with pictures etc... What would be good to put inside the basket when the person you're giving it too don't need anything, is really not into anything- can't eat chocolate...Don't lit candles, don't do home spas etc... LOL- NO JOKE....She has almost everything...lol... Her house is like a store...lol... I need some ideas of what should I buy... I can buy perfumes because she never get tired of those, I would get her a bottle of wine- but she doesn't drink... I don't want to give her a gift card because that looks ridiculus and it'll mean more if I get something myself.... Any help would be appreaciated... Thanks...
What are some ideas for a homemade Mother's Day basket~besides a card %26amp; flowers, when mom is diabetic???
Buy some kind of platter, don't spend much since she has everything, a round pizza pan will do, and get a set of towels, in her favorite color, large bath, small bath, hand towel and wash cloth.
roll them up, large on on the bottom, smaller one in the middle, roll the small 2 up together, make it like a cake.
you can add things around it, or just decorations, one time i pinned little aplique bitterflies, wrapped it in tulle, it doesn't even cost much.

there are some ideas.if not can you get her an outfit, or go out with her.
your mom seems practical, like my mom, they are so hard, mu mother asked for filters for her ice maker in her fridge : )
Reply:You can get the kids to help make her some special diebetic cookies. Maybe some nice face wash and moisturizer (doesn't every woman need that?) Does she like coffee? You can get a nice BIG mug and some different flavours of coffees.
Reply:I was going to suggest candles and perfumed soaps and fancy bath salts..... maybe a nice CD. But i am wondering if maybe your mom is depressed. How about a book? Does she like to read? Happy Mother's Day!

Reply:I saw something at a craft show that was cute...it was a bottle for wine (there was no wine in it, it was just a pretty bottle at this point LOL), and someone took colored lights and put in it. I am a mom, and I think that would make a great center piece.
Does she have any hobbies? I love to crochet so my sons (really their daddy since they are 9 and 7 LOL) know that a gift card to Hobby Lobby is always a safe bet. Last year they asked me what I wanted. I actually liked that because they cared enough to find out if there was anything I *really* wanted, you know? :)
What about going to somewhere like that teddy bear place and making her a teddy bear?
Reply:I had all the grandkids go to Michaels they had 40 percent off coupon this week and we did stepping stone mosaics for grammas outdoor garden or lawn.That way when they go to grammas they see the stones...it wont fit in basket.sorry!
Some kids did all stones and other did foot print or handprint.
what about some barcelet kits like from micheals she can make stone bracelets for grandkids...that would be fun for her and the kids.good luck!!

What are you favorite things to do for mommy to-be?
So my girlfriend is about 7.5 months along and I do things for her all the time. I was just wondering what others might be doing for their significant others.
Im liking let her take a break and doing more things around the house. I like to pick her up a random card, have her come home for lunch and make things for her that she used to make for me.
I am especially excited about mothers day! I made her a card with pictures of her and our dog and cat in there and a picture of her with her baby belly and a little speech bubble coming off of it saying "happy mothers day from me too". I think she will love it.
So what are you doing?
What are you favorite things to do for mommy to-be?
that is the sweetest thing i have ever heard...im going to cry...im a mommy to be also so i dont guess ill be doing anything lol.
Reply:my husband always makes me hot baths with music and rose pedals, or buys me flowers or talks to my belly and makes me sppecial things like heart shaped cookies and stuff, try that, sex is always a good thing, very good feeling and a great stress reliever!!
Reply:Personally, I think something that every pregnant woman would love is a prenatal massage. You have to make sure that the massage therapist is certified to give prenatal massages so it'll be safe. Also, foot massages would probably be loved too. Anything that is safe and pampers her body.
(By the way, that card sounds really cute!)
Reply:I think that you are a real sweet heart. No one took care of me like that when I was pregnant. I think that if you want to surprise her even more, get all the things together for a baby shower,invite all her friends but put her two closest in charge of things when you slip out and let them have a good old fashion girls time. After the party is over you come back and make sure everything is in order so she doesn't have to clean up a mess. (usually there isn't much of one any way). Just keep telling her how much you love her and that you'll always be there for her and the baby. I think she'll love the card too.
Reply:you are very sweet!
but to the woman who posted above me - i don't think pregnant women are supposed to take baths, are they? maybe check that out first...
Reply:I'am sooo jealous! Wish my man was as attentive as you are.
Perhaps a nice prepared bubble bath with romantic music.. accompanied with a nice non alcohol beverage followed by a nice body rub down with lotion. If you also decided to give her a gift as well...maybe a keepsake for her/baby...something engraved pehaps.
As for me .. hubby has to work =(
Good Luck! Hope your day goes well!

Should i forgive that girl that tried to steal my car?
remember that girl that put the car in her name for me (after i paid the deposit and first month) and was suppose to switch over when i got my license, she kept the car for about a month, could not even keep up the payments, it was repossed from her, now my car is in my name, she came over one day, shes been asking about me and wanted to give a mothers day card, i want to ask her why did she hurt me like that, i need closure? should i forgive her? can i forgive her and don't be friends with her, i miss having a best friend, but now i feel like she uses me for what i have, a car, place to stay etc, she told me she cared for my kids, if she did this to us, she did not care, what should i do, i want to forgive her but at the same time let her know how much damage she did to me, i am a single mom of 2, and she took my means of transportation,
Should i forgive that girl that tried to steal my car?
no forgiving.
She was a mean *********
Reply:Yes. You should forgive everyone 70 times 7.
Reply:Im going to go out on a limb here and say go ahead and forgive her. Dont "forget" it, but forgive. You know what I mean? Dont put yourself in a position again where you have to rely on her for anything. Just try to be friends.
Sometimes people do crappy things. If you decide later that you just cant trust her...you can always just stop talking to her.
Reply:We are to forgive those who have hurt us. However, you need to sit her down and explain to her your feelings. Tell her exactly how you feel. That is the only way to get closure to the situation.
Reply:You should forgive any one for anything.
I don't know if I would have this person as my friend or around my children.
You are going to have enough trouble keeping you and your children a float is it right that you let someone take advantage of you in front of your children?
What are your children learning from this? They are learning that it is OK for someone to walk all over them as long as that person apologizes... Do you want your children growing up to be victims?
You are setting an example for your children , remember they only have you to look up to and model after.
Be good to your self and your children kick this trash out of your life!

Family Ties Can it Be fixed Part II?
Now that my daughter is pregnant at 19 years old she doesn't send me Christmas gifts or mother day cards she only gives gifts to my mom sister and other family memebers. My boyfriend said she grew closer to them. My daughter was in a good school here and she an an opportunity to play pro basketball and even act.
I always attended her plays etc. My family never visit us when she was with me or sent her gifts here. They were mad cause I moved from Detroit and think I should move back to be her babysitter. I don't think so.
She doesn't want to visit me always has an excuse. I feel bad because today cause she don't ework or go to school
Family Ties Can it Be fixed Part II?
Your daughter is pretty much on her own.
It's so sad. I've found this out, just how important my mom is to me and it took me 6 months after I got married to appreciate how much she meant to me.
I also know that the love you have for your daughter, your family won't ever feel that the way you do for her.
When she becomes a mother, she'll realize one day the great error she made eliminating you from her life. I really do believe that.
The rest of your family has no real investment on her, she's just a part of the family to them and they have no real power to make her do anything...you're the one she'll respect and fear at the same time. Your family should actually be making her keep in contact with you, but they still think she's a child and they need to make her happy and support her. She knows that, and she'll never feel lectured by them no matter what they say. They're not you.
Just wait. One day she'll come around and really feel sorrow for having lost that bond with you.
You do what you need to do to live your life happily and without regrets. You're a grown woman, live your life freely!
God bless.

Should I leave my family?
I hate my family. For instance my mom is self centered and cares about herself, every mothers day I buy her a mothers day card, she yelled at me for not giving her a best gift, she don't care about me. My dad always beat me up for not cleaning the dishes. My little brother is the pain in the a$$. He always takes my stuff, then I spanked him twice and he cries, so my mother has to spank me for no *****n reason. Everytime I went somewhere my mother and my father will yell at me infront of people and they said I was extra retarded also they say that I wish you die right now. I'm 13 and I hate my family and should I run away from my family.
Should I leave my family?
Please do not run away. Seek help. Talk to your school councillor or a doctor. Go to the police station. There are so many places you can go for help. Children's Aid Society is there to help you to! Running away is not the answer, all it will give you is MORE heartache. Go to extended family like an aunt or your grandmother...someone you can trust. Try to stay positive ok...i know it is hard. Use your brain...stay off the streets. All that will bring you is more trouble in your life! Don't do drugs or alcohol...seek your help you need to get where you need to go!
I wish you all the best! (((HUGS)))
Reply:well sorry to say that running away is not the solution to problems... r shure they treat u dat way.... maybe u should just get outta their way and stay away from their faces. maybe talking to ur counselor could help or social services. but ur family is ur family.... u cant really abandon them can u.... unless if they do sumtin bad to u.. hopefully not though... good luck!!!
Reply:%26lt;my mother and my father will yell at me infront of people and they said I was extra retarded also they say that I wish you die right now.%26gt;
you made that up. No parent would do such a thing.
Reply:don't run away. you said your dad beats you up? if he really beats you up, you need to call the police. that's child abuse. if you run away than they could come find you and punish you more. if they do hit you and abuse you you need to call the police. i really hope you are ok. good luck and just try your best to please them until you figure something out.
Reply:Sounds like it might be time to talk to a school counselor or a teacher...
Reply:I think you all could use some counseling. I don't know if that's plausible or not, though. No, I don't think you should run away from your family. If you're only 13, you'll have no where to go. Stick it out a few more years until you are old enough to get a job and all that. If your dad is always beating you up for not cleaning the dishes, and you really , really want out of your family, go to the cops and report him for child abuse. They'll probably take you out of your house and put you in foster care or something. That probably won't make you any happier. I say, stick with it. Things are always difficult when you're a teenager.
Reply:I think you need counseling there are not to many 13 yr olds that like their family.
Reply:I am sorry you are feeling so bad, but you should never run away.........there are so many bad things out there that can happen to you.....go to someone at school and seek help. you are too young to feel like this and you need to talk with someone.. maybe your parents are dealing with some adult problems. I am hoping you will take my advice and go and find some help with one of your teachers, no child should feel as you do. I wish I could help you.... I would. I have four kids and I am always so happy when they think of me by making me a homemade card I keep every one of them. I am hoping you will go and get some help from someone.. please don't run away the world is big and there are people who enjoy being mean to kids. I will keep you in my prayers. if you need to talk to someone I will be glad to talk with you. take care and seek some help from a teacher or another adult maybe a grandparent or aunt or uncle.
Reply:Dont run away. Talk to a counselor concerning this. Your only 13. If you call DCFS on your parents, be prepared to move from foster home to foster home. Unless you can get yourself an apartment, pay for your own medical, provide your own food and transportation, then you wont make it out in the real world.
You can get mad at me for saying this, but this is the real life. If you could do all of this by yourself, then by all means, run away. If you cant, then I suggest you stick it out. Try to achieve in school. Get yourself a good job once you reach the legal age to work, and continue off to college. Then, only then, will you have the freedom you want.
Remeber, you are so worth so much. Your parents dont deserve you. Shove it in their face that you are not a looser by succeding in life. Then when you have your degree and your great job, and your rocking house, and nice car, you can tell them "whos the looser now?"
Reply:No, YOu should NOT.
If not in church, find one and occupy your time and thoughts with only the good of HAVING a family.
ONE DAY, it will seem not to be so bad.
We've ALL had our bad families. They just make us what we are today, but better people---NOW you will know what NOT to do, one day, to your OWN child.
Reply:i know a girl who's parents did the same thing But she did not run away. she moved when she was 18 years old can you talk to them you know sit them down and say i have to talk to you about how i feel and don't get mad when i tell you but. do you have like a anti or some one you can talk to so they can talk to your parents maybe they don't know what there doing.
Reply:I think you're having a poor me party which everyone does and needs from time to time. **** happens and family happens and whether you stretch the truth to make it look worse than it is, in the long wrong when you're mature and older you will realize how silly this Question was. Honeslty, be careful what you wish for, I'm sure you are just going through a tough adolescent time like everyone else goes through. Get off your soap box and starting acting like a MAN.

I am hoping you will take my advice and go and find some help with one of your teachers, no child should feel as you do. I wish I could help you.... I would. I have four kids and I am always so happy when they think of me by making me a homemade card I keep every one of them. I am hoping you will go and get some help from someone.. please don't run away the world is big and there are people who enjoy being mean to kids. I will keep you in my prayers. if you need to talk to someone I will be glad to talk with you. take care and seek some help from a teacher or another adult maybe a grandparent or aunt or uncle.
Reply:Dont run away. Talk to a counselor concerning this. Your only 13. If you call DCFS on your parents, be prepared to move from foster home to foster home. Unless you can get yourself an apartment, pay for your own medical, provide your own food and transportation, then you wont make it out in the real world.
You can get mad at me for saying this, but this is the real life. If you could do all of this by yourself, then by all means, run away. If you cant, then I suggest you stick it out. Try to achieve in school. Get yourself a good job once you reach the legal age to work, and continue off to college. Then, only then, will you have the freedom you want.
Remeber, you are so worth so much. Your parents dont deserve you. Shove it in their face that you are not a looser by succeding in life. Then when you have your degree and your great job, and your rocking house, and nice car, you can tell them "whos the looser now?"
Reply:No, YOu should NOT.
If not in church, find one and occupy your time and thoughts with only the good of HAVING a family.
ONE DAY, it will seem not to be so bad.
We've ALL had our bad families. They just make us what we are today, but better people---NOW you will know what NOT to do, one day, to your OWN child.
Reply:i know a girl who's parents did the same thing But she did not run away. she moved when she was 18 years old can you talk to them you know sit them down and say i have to talk to you about how i feel and don't get mad when i tell you but. do you have like a anti or some one you can talk to so they can talk to your parents maybe they don't know what there doing.
Reply:I think you're having a poor me party which everyone does and needs from time to time. **** happens and family happens and whether you stretch the truth to make it look worse than it is, in the long wrong when you're mature and older you will realize how silly this Question was. Honeslty, be careful what you wish for, I'm sure you are just going through a tough adolescent time like everyone else goes through. Get off your soap box and starting acting like a MAN.

How do I have a better relationship with my daughter?
my daughter is 36 years old and we had a good relationship when she was a toddler, now we clash, she is a very senstive person and she's very critical of everything I do she hates my significant other she takes everything i say the wrong way, she now has a daughter of her own thats 16 ..I had some bad things happen to me about 4 months ago and I needed a place to go and stay until I got myself together as a last resort I went to her house, she answered her door and told me that my emergencies are not her emergencies and basically she asked me to leave...I'm still in shock over this I spoke to her once briefly since then, and that was for her to say happy mothers day when i was on the phone with my grandaughter also she sent me a mothers day card to my place of employment with a note inside that said something relating to forgiviness I feel she owes me an apology she turned her back on me a my lowest point i would have trouble treating a stranger that way ,
How do I have a better relationship with my daughter?
That's a tough one. I am wondering if there were big problems between toddlerhood and moving out on her own. Sorry to suggest, but if you partied, drank, did drugs, had a lot of men in and out of her life, she is very resentful of you for what she may consider her lost youth. If those things did not happen, and nothing else, maybe she is just selfish. You raise them the best you can, but they still develop their own personalilties. Ask yourself -- did I mother her the way I should have, did I teach her to be generous, has she had something happen in her own adult life that might make her just want to be left alone? It would be nice if you could convince her to sit down with you and just ask if there is something you have done to cause her resentment. And, then listen and only listen. do not interrupt to defend your actions. Let her vent. You may hear things you never realized. You may hear that she took something the wrong way and when it is your turn to talk, explain nicely. Perhaps both of you could talk to a counselor or clergy.
See, I am almost 50, and my mom has no idea that the reason I do not visit very often is because she is very hateful to my father. I just cannot stand to be there very long at all because she is constantly correcting him or jumping down his throat because he starts to tell me something that she wanted to tell. So, she probably asks other people why they think I don't come around. You may not realize what you have done. ASK !!!

Reply:This is so very sad...and I'm sorry it has happened. You wont be able to change you daughters opinion. You can only change how you respond to her, or how you let it affect you. At 36 years old and dealing with her own daughter...you would think she would be a little more mature about this. Maybe you should ask her how she would feel if her daughter turned her back on her too. Does she have a good relationship with her child?..or do they butt heads alot?.....You should try to make your life happy now...and live for today...she will come around sooner or later when she sees she is being stubborn and clod hearted. Life is short...dont waste it trying to make up for the past.....the past is just that.....the past. Its gone.......have a good relationship with your granddaughter and enjoy life.....Good luck
Reply:I think the best thing for you to do is to be honest, 100% honest with yourself. There are reasons why your daughter is behaving this way.... I am sure she would like to have a good relationship with her mother but for some reason she is reluctant. What is this reason? To be honest you sound more like the daughter than the mother. No one is perfect we all make mistakes. You must be honest about the mistakes that you made with your daughter. Try talking to her, openly and honestly about yourself. This is not a time to be concerned about yourself - not if you want to build a relationship with your daughter. she also has been hurt by something in the past relating to you - have you apologised? I hope that my advice helps you . By the way, did the bad thing that happened to you have anything to do with your significant other?

Birth moms: What is the right thing to do?
There was a recent question about mother's day on here and the first mom. My daughter is two, so she can't really send something truly personal at this point without me having a hand in creating something, but would it be OK to send our bmom a mother's day card with some of her scribbling in it? The only contact is through the letters and pictures I send through the agency, but if it is the AP that initiates it would a birhtmom percieve this as we are thinking about her and honoring her positively or negatively?
Birth moms: What is the right thing to do?
You know what I would have LOVED to get? Imprints of my son's hands and feet. Just to see how little they were. I have a mold I made when he was 3 months and an ink print I made when he was 21 months but I would love to have more. Honestly they are my most cherished memories of him.
I think sending something for mother's day is a great idea. Just because your child isn't with you doesn't mean you stop feeling like a mommy and having two mothers is an amazing feeling... it just feels like love *sigh*.
Reply:my daughter was in foster care for 18 months. Everything that the foster parents did to keep me informed of what was going on in my daughter's life was appreciated, and I never felt that the foster parents had any negative reasons for doing it, other than just to keep me involved as much as possible. When I regained custody, however, the foster parents did not show up with my daughter as they were instructed. It was very hard for them to give her back to me. I now have full custody again, but still maintain cintact with them and their children. My daighter still spends time with them, and goes to birthday parties, etc. I see no reason to exclude these people from my daughter's life, as they were there for her when I was not. I have no hard feelings toward them and I really hope they feel the same way about me. The way l look at it: my daughter now has a very extended family of people who love her and care about her. The more the merrier!
Reply:I am an adoptive mom and I think the birthmother would love that you thought of her on mother's day. Without birthmom's we would never become mom's ourselves. I think if you start the tradition now with your help, your daughter will want to continue it as she grows. We send letter/pics thru our agency too and I keep copies of everything for our son so he has them when he gets older.
BTW, I saw on a site that birthmother's day is the day before mother's day but I think we only need one day for all mother's...both birth and adoptive. just my feeling!
Reply:I think it's a beautiful idea. Every holiday, I trace my son's hand and put it in a card for his bio grandparents. I then write his name and the date in the handprint. He's now old enough that he writes his own name and date. They have told me that they cherish that.
If your daughter is too young to write, you could still have her color the handprint.
Good luck!

Are you for Real ??
She isnt YOUR birthmother she is your daughters.
If I was the Mother who gave birth in this instance and got a card from YOU with my daughter I relinquished , scribbling on instigated by you It would break my heart...
No I think it would be in poor taste
Send your daughters Mother who gave birth to her a lovely photo of her daughter instead (With a hand print/footprint as Andraya suggested)
Reply:Andrya is right.....Hand prints or footprints would be nice from your daughter.
You can buy the plate kits where you push there little hand in to make a handprint. Or one of the casting kits of her little hand. You could do both a footprint and handprint with a little poem. I think it is so important to acknowledge your childs first mom on mother's day. It will say volumes to your child when she is older that you honored her mother.
Reply:I think its a beautiful idea. If she wishes to stay in touch, whatever those parameters are, she cares. I can't think of a mother - birth or adopted - that's heart won't warm at the sight of a child's first scribbled card.
I think its a very positive way to honor her contribution to your family and a very thoughtful idea from you.
Reply:I would think that she would see if as an honor, she is a mother, after all, even if she choose to give up her child. You might wish to include a nice note thanking her for the opportunity to be a mom yourself so it's clear that you are grateful to her and her choice.
Reply:DD's first mom says she can never have too many pictures.
we have sent folders of artwork. Photo books filled with lots pictures are great too. This year plan to photo copy all of her scrapbooks and sent them to her first mom. The first mom will cherish anything you give her. I think it would be positive as you are sharing parts of her child with her.
Reply:We adopted our daughter in Feb. We will be sending a mothers day card to her mom in India. They don't even have mothers day there but I will explain what it is for and how much she is appreciated. I completely think it is great to send your daughters mom a card.
Reply:I havent given a child up for adoption so I dont know personally, but it sounds like a really nice thing to do. Im sure that day will be hard for her, and knowing that she is thought of will probably make her feel better.
Reply:She may or may not want anything to remind her of what she gave away. But I would still do a little something to let her know that she is still in her thoughts and you clearly dont want to cut all ties with her.
Reply:I think it would probably mean a lot to her. I'm sure she is truly grateful for you, and will be thinking of her on mothers day. That is very sweet of you to think about her!!
Reply:I think it is very generous of you to think of her. It would be A very kind thing to do. I would think of it as a positive thing for sure.
Reply:I was adopted as a baby, and met my birth parents as an adult. My b-mom would have FLIPPED WITH JOY to get a mother's day card like you describe. Go for it.
Reply:I would think that she would appreciate your acknowledgment of her role in your daughters birth on this special day. I am sure that she will be thinking of her on Mothers Day.
Reply:Yes, your daughter's scribbles would be treasured!
Reply:Yes ! Send it. That is so nice !
Reply:if that was me i would cry because of how beautiful it is.

What is a nice craft my son can make for his grandmothers for Mother's Day?
My son is 14 months, so obviously I would be helping him. But I want the gifts to be from him rather than sending them something we bought. Any creative ideas out there other than a card or flower pot?
What is a nice craft my son can make for his grandmothers for Mother's Day?
My nephews both made impressions of their hands and feet in clay when they were about that age which was a wonderful gift. They used the air dry clay and pressed their little hands and feet into a mound of it. I sealed them with polyurethane and placed them in my garden. Now one is in Grad school and the other is a Marine in Iraq, so I treasure those thoughtful "garden stones" now more than ever. You can find that air dry kind of clay at Michaels craft store and I'm sure his grannies will love it as much as I did.
Reply:Make stationary with little photos of him running down the side, or a stepping stone for her garden. I did the stepping stone with my kids when they were little...you can get the kit at most craft stores. I put their hands and foot prints on the stone, and wrote Grandma across the top. Both Grandmas still have these in their gardens eight years later, and they love them!
Reply:I would take one of your favorite photos of him.and make a homemade picture frame to put it in for a gift.
for example if your grandparents enjoy the beach.then gather some sea shells and glue them to a photo fram and other things you might want to add.that you know they enjoy.good luck and happy mother,s day.

How long does US mail take if mailed in the same city it's sent to?
i want to know when i have to send my mother's day cards so that they'll get there on Saturday.
How long does US mail take if mailed in the same city it's sent to?
If you deliver them to your post office EARLY the day before, then there is a fair chance it would get delivered on the desired day.
Often there is a time cut-off for delivery (especially if you are using a mailbox drop, read the pickup times sticker). In small towns you may want to add a day or two because in some cases the mail goes to another city to be sorted and returned, so if your letter gets to the other town after their next-day cut-off there will be a delay.
Our sorting system may get bad press, but I read a while back about how Italians had better luck if they mailed their letters first to Switzerland because of the demands by participation in the international postal organization they belonged to. One member of the Italian parliment asked if the head of the Italian post office could promise "same month delivery". He couldn't.
Good luck.

Reply:Mail before 5PM,they get it next day.I live in Houston 4th Largest city in U.S.

Reply:I'd say 24 - 48 hours.
Reply:That all depends on where your post office sends mail to be sorted. Most post offices send their mail to a central mail facility to be sorted. But Thursday should be a good day to mail it.
Reply:It would be better to go the post office on Friday morning, and on Saturday your mom will get her post card, good luck.

Reply:It depends on the city...in my small town, if you mail something to someone in this town, it goes to a sorting center an hour and 1/2 away and comes back. Silly, I know, but I've had mail take 2 days to get a mile a way.
Reply:ask the post man.
Reply:It will probably take a couple of days because it still has to go through the mail system and put into re-distribution. You could just drop it in her box when you know she is sleep or hasn't checked it yet that day.

I would write something sentimental:
Hey fatty,
would you like another pancake or does your diseased brain still think soap is food? Put down the pencil and pick up a pen, write this down, PERMANENTLY, Jesus was an alien and he is here to save the non-Aliens. WE ARE THEM. US!
pancakes on your FACE! FATSO! ARRRRGGGHHHH,
you (signature)
Reply:I would tell what a special person a mother is, and how a child is guided and nurtured by that mother. I would write how that mother was chosen by God to be the mother of that child and that made the child realize what a wonderful life the mother could give the child. I would write how many sacrifices the mother had to make in her own life to make a decent life for her child.
Reply:What you're being asked to do is reflect on your future motherhood.
That is, what do you think and feel about someday being a mom?
It's not really about knowing what the future you wants to hear, so much as what you, now, think about this possible future.
So, sit down and take a bunch of notes about what you think about motherhood; how you feel about it; how you think you MIGHT (not "will") think and feel about it when it happens.
After you have a bunch of ideas, put them into some form you'll be able to read then.
Reply:Maybe you could write a letter about finding out that you are pregnant after trying to have a child. I've never been a mother before, but finding out that you are having a baby seems like something that would be pretty exciting. Write about what type of mother you hope to be the things that you want to teach and pass on. Hope this helps.

Before writing your final paper,I would take the word mother and write it vertically on a scrap paper - think of words that start with each letter. Use the dictionary -
Mother has 6 letters that's only 61 words per letter -
M - memories, meals, my best friend, music reminds me of you, you were listening to different music than I was at 16.
O - one of a kind, you are so unique and it such a wonderful feeling to have the closeness we have. Odd - I had many times thought things you said to me were odd, but then realized they were said for my benefit.
T - truth - I finally realize that you were right it is always the best answer. trust - I know now it is earned, and not assumed.
H - heritage - We are a family and always will be.
You got the idea = what ever words you choose a short statement is a very fast 60+ words - you'll be done in no time.
Like I said if you get stuck on a letter, and want more words - Look in the dictionary = I think this would be a personal card for your Mom and hopefully it will put a smile on your face when you re read it with your first child. If you can match the words to a personal incident you have had with your Mother it would even make it so much better. Ex. T - trust - I remember when you trusted me to be home at 11:00pm after a party. I broke that trust and I am truly sorry. I realize you make rules for me to keep me safe, because you love me. Thank you Mom.

Dear Brittany,
First of all, Happy Birthday. you have waited for this day and finally get to celebrate it being a mother! Congratulations. You have joined the mom club. You will endure fussing, fighting, and fit throwing. But most of all, you will enjoy moments of joy, happiness, love, and peace. You will not always have peace, but keep on chugging through the hard times like you do because you'll get there. You are so appreciated for what you do everyday for your child(ren). And one day you will be rewarded. Have a Happy Mother's Day.
Sincerely,
Me
I know it's cheesy, but isn't it supposed to be? =)
this is only 92 words, but it's not that hard, you pretty much just have to talk to yourself. =) good luck

Why not look at it as advice to the mother you NOW have that you wish she'd known before having you? That way, you're going off of what you already know about yourself. Advice like: "When your daughter asks to be left alone, it doesn't mean she hates you and is doing drugs in her room. She just wants some alone time because high school is very intense." or "Don't be afraid of baby poop. It washes off" (since that's likely to be something you encounter in the first year of a child's life. How about "If you drop your child, it's not the end of the world..." Hope this helps some...
