22/01/2010 : I have been married to my husband for 6 years we have 2 beautiful children 1 boy and 1 girl, they are 7 and 5. When they were very small he was ok with them. Now that tehy are getting bigger he ubdermines them. He is very rarely aggressive but he is never positive. If they want ti do something he just says what would you wan to do that for, there's no point. I have been told this is passive aggressive and can be very dmaging to your children. Does anyone else have experience of this?

22/01/2010 : I have recently seperated from my wife, we have a 9 year old girl. I have always been very close to our daughter, my ex's relationship with her is more argumentative. Anyway, recently my daughter seems to feel that she has to choose between us. I have told her she does not bu this does not seem to have any effect. How can I convince her that none of this is her fault and that we both love her equally and she does not ave to choose between us?

02/01/2010 : I have just finished spending Xmas with my 8 year old son. He seems to have gone into a sort of consumer frenzy. We had to go into the town to get some stuff the day after Boxing Day and he had a tantrum when I would not get him another present. I asked him if he could even remember all the presents that he had got and he could not. This did not stop him asking for more though. How do I teavh him that just buyinh stuff is not whatr life's about?

30/12/2009 : This Xmas has been a nightmare. I live alone and like it that way. For some stupid reason I invited my grown up kids over for Xmas with their partners and children. I thought that I was going mad, I hated it, I never want to see any of them again. Is that bad? I will probably be dead soon, why should I spend time with these philistine leeches?

11/12/2009 : I am a 27 year old single mum and I have a 8 year old son. I seem to lose every battle with him recently. It has got to the point where I give in to him before we have even started discussing what he wants to do. He just keeps on until I give in. I know this will only get worse, but I don't know what to do. Has anyone had anything like this happen to them and if they have what did they do about it?
