after my marriage i have come to live in another city , which was completly new to me. i live with my husband n inlaws. slowly i lost touch with all my friends as i got more n more involved with my fammily. more often i felt very lonely, sometimes felt 'i m suppose to take care of all the needs of my family members but WHO is there to care for me?' but after my little princess was born, i no longer felt alone. we both have very strong bonding with each other. she would even take care of me in her simple ways. one day i happened to get hurt on my head ... n she showed me all the exercises that her teacher had taught. not only that she made shure that i did all of them , so that i feel better soon. :-) isn't that sweet.

Sara is right, you should go out and find healthy relationships in your own age group. It is not fair to your daughter for you to think of her as your friend. As she gets older, she will not want you as that kind of friend, she will want friends who can relate to things that are important to her. It may seem sweet now, but if you get use to this mind set you will find yourself holding on to her to tight and being jealous of her real friends. Maybe you could take a parenting class and there meet some other mothers whom you can make friends with. Get involved in things in your neighborhood and meet new people. But for goodness sake, don't ruin the child's life, before she has had a chance to live.
