  • They are awesome! I have two one just turned 18 and the other is almost 20. However, the teenage years were not so much fun. Just remain consistent. Remind them you are their mother first, and their friend second. They have don't have to like you and you probably won't like them but if you are a good mother, and keep…

To my surprise I ended being down 3.6. If I can keep on track, just need another 2.2 by next Friday to meet my goal. Had a moment of defeat yesterday, I have been…
  • @Laceylala, yes, it very important to spend as much time with your spouse as you can ESPECIALLY after children. Some of the recent issues in my relationship were directly related to the fact that for the last 10 years, my husband felt I put him on the back burner and gave everything I had to our children. Which is true,…

I have a terminally ill younger sister (34) and…
