I will not color my hair until my MIL is dead! When I had ds (I was a little older when I had him) she came to the hospital and said "you'd better color your hair or people will think you're his grandmother"!!! Dh laughed because his mother, in her mid 80's, looks stupid with her colored hair. LOL

I called my mom to talk to her. Well she was with my sons other grandmother. I didnt want to say hi but my mother insisted. I never got to since i hung up on her and pulled the plug. Bitchy move? I dont care but YES!

I know this is going to sound strange but i'm truly sad that Oprah is going to end. Her show makes me feel comforted because I always used to watch it with my mother before she passed.

I'm so envious of you that have a home and a family unit. I'm a divorced single mother, living in a small condo,and have to work full-time. I have only my father to babysit once in a while if I want to go out. I never am able to spend time with my son the way I want to. I would kill to be a SAHM and be financially taken care of.

In my early 20's as my mother lay dying of a terminal illness, I learned our family has a HUGE secret. Seems my mother gave birth to and kept a baby boy as a young teen then gave him up for adoption at 6 months old. My father (not the baby daddy) was an old family friend of my mother's and agreed to marry her to help protect her reputation. The only stipulation to the marriage, baby Sean never existed. I never told my brother because I figured nothing good would come of his knowing. Over the weekend I learned my brother/SIL plan to name their DS Sean. I think it's time to tell him.

i am so jealous. all my friends moms pic up their kids constantly just so my friends can have some free time alone to clean or go out or whatever. but my own mother never does that. never offers either. i wish she wud . i dont wanna go out or anything i just want to do my job which is from home in peace at least once a month. is that too much to ask for? am i be selfish ? i only have one child and my mother is still young and is not sick.

I walked out on my husband and kids 10 years ago because I hated being a mother and ive never regretted it. They are happy, much happier then they would be with me around all the time. I'm happy not having to suffer through motherhood.

Dear DH, Sometimes I wish you'd grow some ball and stand up to your mother. I know the world of shit you'd get from her and I have the same problem with standing up to my own mom, so I understand. Still, I would love to see her face if you ever told her how you really feel. I'd LOVE if she carried thru on her threats to cut us out of her life.

I'm beginning to think something is mentally wrong with my DS(5) and I'm heartbroken. He seems to lack the ability to listen. He'll tolerate losing privileges, time outs, spankings, and having his mouth washed out with soap only to turn around and do something he knows he's not allowed to do yet again. DH and I are at our wits end. I'm scheduling an appointment with our ped and asking for a pysch consult on Tuesday. We've needed help for a while. I'm beyond resentful and am now to the point where I hate my DS and hate being his mother. It shouldn't be like this.

I hate it when I see parents loudly threatening their kids in public just to prove to others around them how "tough" they are. I witnessed this yesterday and the poor little boy was crying his heart out while his mother was continuing her tirade of threats. The boy wasn't even doing anything wrong - just sitting in the cart minding his own business. No wonder so many kids are screwed up by the age of 10. I felt like telling this crackhead to get a life and realize how much of a blessing her kids really are.
