I think you should really sit down and talk to your mom. Let her know that you see whats going on, and that your concerned about what it may be doing to her. i think she would appreciate the thought, and maybe take a step back. Good luck  |

Maybe you can convince yourself and brother to help out.. Get a job and pay for your own clothes.. Help out at your moms work.. Cook Dinner.. You know.. Do things that can help her, so she doesn't feel bad.. Loosen your load because right now your mom needs help.. Try and convince your friends to help out to.. Or have THEM work at your moms work, so your mom doesn't have to do all there.. There are MANY reasons/ways that you can help .. Just try a few! *Hugs* Love Your Friend,  |

hi sweetie...first..you have recognized that there is a problem. That is good. You also know that you could be more helpful. This also is good. Next, talk to your mom, tell her about your concerns and if nothing else just let her know how much you love her. Try asking her what you can do to help out. I'm sure she will be receptive and grateful for your understanding. Being a career mom is tough, I know. I do it. My kids are younger and can't help with much but it is quite taxing and I get frustrated a lot too. You're a wonderful daughter just to be able to recognize this. Good Luck to you<<HUGS>>  |

she needs your love and support hun, why not help out with the laundry and ironing and take the load off her, it sounds like things are too much for her to cope with especially with her arm probs, so try and help out whenever you can..good luck hun....cheers  |

It sounds like a tyical day in the life of a menopausal woman! Sounds like you are old enough to cook and do laundry. Help her with the things you know how to do. Mom's carry a heavy load!  |

You gotta talk to her! Maybe she needs to manage everything different. She might just be doing some things backwards. I hope it works out. - Sweet September  |
