Gingermegs I understand that my sister wants a family life and can not face life on her own but she has to get her priorities right and think about what is best for the children.

My tenth wedding anniversary is coming up soon and I don't know whether to go all out and have a big party or not. A few people I have spoken to say it is just another day and why make a fuss. Do people renew their vows on their...

Gingermegs Thanks for the suggestions. We have actually been together for twenty years but only married for ten. I think a quiet dinner and a night without the kids may be a good idea.

Gingermegs I did the same thing. Sometimes giving them some distance and not being available whenever they want you does work wonders. I have a good relationship with my eldest girl now but it took a long time and a lot of hard work. They love to blame everyone and...

Gingermegs Thanks for responding to me. My daughters range from 18 to 26 and have always been a handful. Sometimes they are just wonderful and give so much love and other times they throw everything away and go right off the rails. My eldest daughter and I had a lot of...
