How do I cope with my mother and her wanting to watch my son?

Saturday, May 7th, 2011

My mother wants to constantly watch my son. She is very good with him, but is not in the best health. Physical or mental. We let her come to our house to watch him for a couple hours at a time, but will not let him over to her house now that my father and her have split. Her house is horribly smokey & she’s constantly sucking down beer no matter what time of day it is. I do not agree with either and have told her. I feel bad because it’s my mother and she loves my son to death. But I have to look out for the safety of my child. I just don’t know what to do or say when she asks me. I Have told her over and over, no smoking or drinking. She swears she won’t do either but how do I know. Plus she constantly complains to me about how bad the cartlidge is in her knee and how it’s going to go out. That she can’t work but 3 hours a day. So what makes her think she can watch a 1 1/2 year old that’s all over the place? I’m looking for guidance on this subject – I’m running out of ideas.

Would you let an alcoholic watch your baby even if they were related and promised not to drink?

Friday, February 18th, 2011

My mother in law is married to a raging alcoholic. I’ve never seen him violent before when he’s drunk but I have seen him stumbling around drunk as ever. My mother in law wants to watch my baby and they promise they wont drink around her but I don’t think they will stay true to their word. I have told them no but they are very upset about it. Do you think I am right to feel this way???

My mom wants to watch my kids for a few weeks but she’s an alcoholic?

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

My wife and I are going away for a few weeks and my mom wants to watch my kids (12, 9, and 8) while we are gone. We have decided to ask someone else to take them because my mom is an alcoholic and she has some mental issues. The last time I let my mom watch them, she left my daughter (who was 2 at the time) in the car alone for an hour because she couldn’t undo my daughter’s seat belt.

Well, now my mom and the rest of my family are mad at me. They said I’m a control freak and I need to lighten up. I have been basically disowned because of this.

My wife thinks I should give her another chance. Should I let her watch them since they are a bit older now?

Anti Cellulite Cream- Watch Out For These 2 Ineffective Ingredients

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

Considering an anti cellulite cream? If so, it is important to become aware of some of the myths surrounding some popular ingredients. In fact, some of these ingredients may actually sabotage your efforts at getting rid of cellulite.

What Is Cellulite?

Cellulite is fat stored very close to the surface of the skin. It is a condition that is mostly targeted at females, and can appear as early as 14 years of age.

As individuals age, the colagen based connective tissue at the surface of the skin breaks down. As this breakdown occurs, surface fat pushes through unevenly causing a dimpled appearance.

Heredity, lifestyle, and environment, are contributing factors to the appearance and progression of cellulite. If a mother has cellulite, the chances are her daughter will have cellulite as well.

Lifestyle choices that increase the amount of toxins in the body, promote the appearance of cellulite. These toxins can result from cigarettes, alcohol, chemical dyes and preservatives, and many other sources as well.

The Ingredients Of Anti Cellulite Cream

Ingredients for cellulite creams should include vitamis C and E, exfoliates, and amino acids to put protein back in to the upper layers of the skin. Exfoliates get rid of dead skin, and provide a better
avenue for the elimination of toxins.

Be Aware Of These 2 Ingredients!

Traditionally, some cellulite creams have included caffeine and aminophylline. The big problem with these two additives is that they remove water from cells. Basically, they promote dehydration.

Virtually ALL dermatologists recommend moisturizing and hydrating the skin, and this includes females that have cellulite.

So, which anti cellulite cream can TURBO ChARGE getting rid of cellulite?

Detoxification Dangers – Ten Things To Watch Out For

Sunday, January 10th, 2010

You might not think this is important, but in today’s day and age everything around us contains harmful chemicals and pollutants. It has never been more important to detoxify our bodies to keep them healthy. It is said that by removing and eliminating the toxins within the body, it can help protect from disease and boost health. The process of detoxification concentrates on our internal organs, especially those that detoxify our bodies – the liver and colon in particular.

1. What Is Detoxification?

This term relates to the removal of toxins in the body, such as drugs or alcohol. Detoxification treatments range from consuming special foods like brown rice and organic fruits and vegetables to herbal cleansing mixtures, to colonic irrigation.

As with any medical program, a doctor should be consulted before starting. In addition, there are some precautions to take before undergoing a diet detoxification. There are side affects and certain groups of people should not use detoxification programs at all. The following are ten things to watch for when detoxifying your body and a list of those who should not detoxification at all.

2. For Children And The Elderly

Those with eating disorders should not attempt detoxification. Many elderly are already experiencing an inadequate immune system and should not undergo a detoxification program. People with diabetes or low blood sugar should also not attempt detoxification programs. It is generally agreed that detoxification should not be performed on children or the elderly. Children and elderly are not good candidates for detoxification. A doctor should be consulted first. Teenagers need good nutrition and diets that involve fasting deplete needed nutrition. Some diets such as detoxification can become addictive.

3. For Pregnant And Nursing Mothers

Women who are pregnant or nursing should not undergo a detoxification program. Detoxification depletes the body of many important nutrients important to pregnant mothers and those who breastfed. In addition, if using herbs, consult a doctor. There are many natural herbs that should not be used during pregnancy.

4. Spreading Infection

Those who choose to detoxification their body through colonic irrigation should be aware of the risk of spreading infections to the intestinal tract. There is also a danger of puncturing the bowel from this procedure. During irrigation, up to fifteen gallons of water or herbal mixtures are fed into the colon. The colon is rinsed and the result comes out of another tube. There is research to suggest that this procedure is neither safe nor helpful to the body.

5. Prescription Drugs

If you take prescription medication, you are at risk if you detoxify your body. Seek medical advice before attempting a detoxification regimen. Master cleanser detoxification diets should not be attempted without strict and severe concequences unless under the supervision of a doctor.
