  • Would like some advice need to talk to my boyfriend?

    I been really having hard time getting my boyfriend to see my point of view. I can longer take this and I am stressed out. I tried my best last night to talk to him. But it still hard to tell him want I want. Our time in bed is getting to boring for me. Which isn't the problem.

    I feel best if we end things because I can no longer Stand his daughter. I have tried longest I could but I can't. I don't even know how he feels about me. I had asked him months ago and he said he doesn't know. That not the point for me anyways. But I can't just move out because I don't have the money. Which I had to get a new vehicle. I feel like our relationship is strained out this best way I could describe it on here. The feelings I had for him is gone and I am no longer happy. Today I just feel like crying for no darn reason but because I really can't take this anymore.

    His daughter is very rude to me and is awlful mouthy. He has not been punishing her like he used for her behavior she was doing. He said she was like this before we started dating. But I think it got worse when we started dating. I was friends with him for 12 years before we started dating. I know his daughter 3 weeks old. We think she has bipolar because her mom has it. I been very nice to her daughter but it not getting anywhere. And she continues to be mean to my 3 kids.

    I try to talk to him last night but it was hard. I need to do it tonight before I don't really go insane. A friend of mine told me to leave but then again I don't have the money. Going back to my parents is no answer. My mom and me don't get along anymore and we fight if I go back there.

    Thanks

  • What else I can do this is my situation.?

    I have a daughter that has medical problems. All of her doctor appointments are an hour away.

    This is my situation. My car is in no good shape to drive out of town. I feel like my car can break down between driving there and back. I can't stand an hour drive there and back with my mom or my aunt. They both are controling freaks. I can get gas vouchers to pay for gas for medical appointments. If I don't get them they get mad easily. And mostly my mom can't take of work anymore and then I have my aunt which at times need her to watch my two older children at these doctor appointment. This is school season.

    I went internet for a used van. We need a van right now. Be more room for my kids. And I have a boyfriend who also has a daughter. It pain in the butt driving two cars if we going to same place each time. I just went through my budget. I have 400 left each month. I know I can afford a car payment underneath that.

    But none of my family doesn't understand that. And my sister in law helps me with my budget has well. And said I should wait. Well then how can i get to medical doctor appointments for my children. Then I can't be driving my car during winter months because of broken window that is taped up to keep the window up. The tape is no longer working and I feel like cold air will go on my daughter and get her sick. I don't want her to get sick because she can be put back in hospital for this.

    What should I do. If you was in this situation want did you do.

    Thanks

    This is my first car I am saling on my car. I don't know want I should watch out for if someone wants to buy it. I don't want it to be a scam or anything

    I have a 1999 Chevrolet Malibu it a silver 4 door. It need a lot of fixing to be done. We are going to sale it for 1 thousand dollars. When I bought it already had broken gas Gauge. The car dealership never told me about that. That one of the problem. Other problems are broken window. It down but won't stay up. We got it tape up for now. It needs new head gasket and anti freeze tank. And I think the sensor are bad.

  • How often does your children see their grandparents?

    My parents are it town so my children can see them often they like. Now I have 8 year old son that his other grandma ( my son dad mom) lives out of town. It like an hour away. She call and ask if she can have him for a weekend or holidays when they get together has a family. Which I have no problem with. She comes pick him up and drops him off. We meet our my town walmart. My son loves his grandma there. Right now he been asking to see her and stay there for a weekend. I told him he would need to wait because she on the road and won't be back till October 17. And your grandma will let me know when she back home for good.

    His dad also lives up there. And only time he gets to see our son when his mom has him. I have a whole lot of reasons why. His dad can't not leave the house with his son because of anger issues. He says he taking classes for that but don't know if it working or not. My son was scared of him yelling and he came home once with a bruise on his butt. My son told me this.

    I am been thinking for some time about this. Would you think if it ok for him to see his grandma every other weekend. If she ok with it. I don't think it a problem for her. My son been through a lot changes here lately. He loves his grandma there. I think it would give him a break from dealing with my boyfriend daughter and he get attention. I know he will be seeing his father there but longest my son fine with his daddy being there. I would do it.

    I will be taking to her soon. Should i go ahead let him go up there every other weekend.

    His father been in and out of jail for a lot of reason. One of them is because he hasn't been paying child support.

    Also my son has 4 brother and 1 sister that lives up there he also gets to see when he there.

  • I need some encouragment I feel like to give up?

    I have a wonderful 21 month old daughter that I love very much. I know it not her fault the way she is.

    I feel like I don't know want to do anymore or want else I can do for her. My daughter been failure to thrive since she was 1 month old. We gotten a second opinion on it and still stays the same. My

    daughter has a feeding tube that she is tube feed at night. This helps her to gain weight. She doesn't eat enough food to get her to gain weight. My daughter is very active toddler.

    I try all the things I could think of to get her to eat and gain weight. The doctor wants me to add a lot of butter to her food to make it higher calories. I have done that and I stop because I am tired of it.

    I work with her to eat and let her feed herself but doesn't change a thing.

    What else I can do. I know putting butter with vegetables doesn't taste to good. I know it does with corn but not green beans or carrots. How can I get in to a routine to keep adding butter to her foods. Also the mention sour cream and olive oil to her foods.

    My aunt says to feed her every two hours. If I do that I feel like I don't have time to grocery shop and laundry mat to do my laundry if I need to feed her every two hours. Also a lot of people say do a routine that have same time feeding has well. I have two older children that needs attention and help with their home work. I am living with my boyfriend but these are my kids. He not the father and it bad enough he has to deal with his 9 year old daughter that behavior issues.

    My daughter is 21 months old. My daughter failure to thrive toddler and she has been since 1 month old. We just went to see her new GI doctor yesterday. She hasn't gained the weight over a month.

  • we has mother know want best for our children?

    We all mother knows wants best for our children but why half the time it hard to do. I have wonderful 21 month old daughter. i found out on my birthday I was pregnant and had her by christmas. So it was like my birthday and christmas gift that year.

    She means so much to me. We had rough first year of her life. My daughter was born with webb toes on one of her foot. I had no problem with that. I love her the way she is. My daughter been hospital 4 times of her life for weight issues. When she was 3 months old children service took her away from me. It was battle of getting custody of my baby girl. Finally I got custody of her and children service finally closed my case.

    My daughter is failure to thrive since she was one month old. We have no clue why she can't gain weight and eat like she should. My daughter is very active toddler. I am over protective of her. My daughter has a feeding tube since she was 6 months old to help her to gain the weight. But lately she hasn;t been gaining. I do feel at times wonder if we ever get answers why she like this. My daughter vomits and even she on medicine for her reflux since 3 months old. My daughter only eats 3 to 5 bites and she is done. My daughter on special formula to help her to gain weight.

    I had hard decision to make. At 6 months old seeing my daughter with a feeding tube. I didn;t feel comfortable taking her out of public and have people asking me why she has that. My daughter can drink from sippy cup and a bottle. My daughter gets one bottle a day because she drinks more from bottle then sippy cup.

    I know this time I made the right choice. I found a new pedi doctor for her. He thinks she might have gastric problems. Tomorrow I have a appointment to see a new gi doctor I requested on my own. Her last gi doctor wouldn;t listen to me,

    Like I said my daughter hasn't been gaining to much weight over a month now. I am scared that they admit her back in the hospital. I love my daughter so much. I happy that I have her and she is big part of my life. God gave me this gift. I have no clue want to expect with this new gi doctor tomorrow that I am getting nervous about. But this want my daughter needs for her health.

    My daughter has been 5% percentile since 1 month old. And her height have no clue but she growing slowly.
