I can see how you came to make that comment but I want to clarify I am not letting my mum be homeless, she has money, the problem is that they sold the family home and rented in another country when they retired she doesn't want to live in that country on her own and wants to return to her birth...

I need help communicating with my husband, I can't seem to get any of my points across and he always thinks I'm trying to say or do something totally different from the truth! I'm at a point that I am considering asking to go to counceling because I just cannot stand it... I do not like...

Thank you so much, it's so nice to know we are not alone! Feeling much better in the morning, so hard to see things clearly when you're not fully awake!!

I'm posting on this section to get some help on how I might be helpful and supportive to my mum, my dad very recently passed. It was very unexpected and very fast. I'll try to keep it short, they are from Italy and I am their only child, I live in Australia they chose to retire in Portugal...

Is the traditional family dying? I am starting to feel like I might be alone in this SAHM thing. My husband and I made the choice to live on one income so that our children would have a full time mother and that I would be a support to my husband as he builds his career, a solid marriage and a...

I am having a hard time with my 2 1/2 yr old. She used to be a great eater, particularly with veg and fruit. Our rules were she'd have to try a bite of everything and if she didn't like it that's ok she wouldn't have to eat it, I also usually would give her two or three options for snacks like...

I would like to hear from women and men what do YOU consider a stay at home wife and mother's duties?

I'm looking for encouraging phrases, saying or prayers about children and parenting to look to when things get hectic and life seems hard. For example "we might not have it all together but together we have it all". Love that! Thanks

Let him get over the childish disappointed reaction and have a chat with him. Tell him you're more than happy to accommodate his requests for something specific but within reason, either he picks up the ingredients on his way home or he needs to work with what you have. I this you are being...

I think you're setting yourself up to fail. I have a terrible relationship with my mother, always did but not because mother and daughters are not close but because she was cold and insensitive and I was a sensitive child and feel I was an irritant to her life. I have a daughter and yes...

I'm so sorry you're feeling so sick :( will pray for you. My mother had it when she was pregnant with me and she made it to term and I was healthy and she recovered, I'm sure that's not really helping just want you to know there's light at the end of the tunnel. Hope you can get some help with...
