suzannaz What a stupid, pathetic, horrible and insensitive comment to make. Please tell me that you have nothing to do with this person anymore. How many marriages has she been through anyway?

When I was younger my family and I were at a restaurant eating dinner, it was nothing fancy..just a family restaurant. There was a child, maybe 2 years old, throwing a fit and screaming and throwing food. I looked at my mom and I...

suzannaz I was thinking about this the other day because I have a 17 mth old son and really I hate to try to eat out. My MIL is always trying to insist we take him to a resturant and I find it so stressful. The thing is with my little guy, he is very active and has...

suzannaz I know that you don't want to disrupt family events but it soulds like they just take advantage of that to feed their addiction while your son is around. Don't be afraid to leave a dinner if they light up and make it clear that you are leaving to protect...

suzannaz Absolutely! When my brother went to university and moved into residence (townhouses) I remember that one of the mothers kept asking the other guys (6 to a house) "can you cook for my son?" She had never taught this 18 yr old how to cook and now he was going to...

suzannaz I would be really hurt if this heppened to me. I'm not sure how you should approach her other then to be direct and ask what is going on? I think the part that would bother me the most would be that she is keeping stuff from you, telling you one story and...

suzannaz Paying off my credit card. With a new baby in the house we have had to get so much stuff in the last year! I'm amazed! And we have been so lucky, with friends helping up out we didn't have to buy a crib, most of his clothing, or high chair.

suzannaz I can completely relate. My younger brother was only 17 months younger than me so I hardly got a chance to "hold" him. We were basically the same size for most of our childhood. And growing up I had no younger cousins, or friends. When I had my own baby...

Recent surveys show that 25% of the UK population die without having a will. If you don't have a will, the government will decide what to do. That means a stranger will decide who gets what and how much tax you are liable to...

suzannaz No I don't think you can truly bland families. But waiting until your kids are grown might not be the solution you are hoping for. My parents divorced when I was an adult, my father has remarried. I never see him. He lives with her and her kids, he has...
