Russian Brides Cyber Guides Black List:: I have included some new photos of her because she has a lot of them (14 total) It is very inconvenient for me to ask you, but can you help me with trip expenses. http://www.womenrussia.com/blackpage253.htmHOME | Mum mum is like really sad and thinks that she has deone nothing in her life and what i was thinking is that i take her and dad out for dinner but i need help with what to so :S
You might remind your mum that she's raised a daughter who loves her very much, and that is a wonderful accomplishment.
Sounds as if her self-esteem is low and she has to fix that for herself. She's the only one who can.
Good luck.
Sit her down in front of you and tell her that if she has done nothing with her life - then what are you?
You are something that she should be proud of, without her being there you would not have turned out so well. Tell her that knowing she was always there has made you into what you are and that you really appreciate it.
Then make her something, or pick flowers on the way home - it shows how much you care
I would be proud to have you as my child (just as I am proud of my children)
Go to a joke shop and buy several woopy cusion's and place them in different spot's where she sit's. Write her letter'e of appreciation and put them in fridge for her to find. Tell her she has alway's been your inspiration on thing's you do well.Tell truth's. Patronize her a-wee-bit.
Get her a dog.
Taking them out for meal wont stop your mum thinking she`s done nothing with her life!Would be better off cooking a meal at home & reminding her of things she has achieved,Having you & bringing you up is one big achievement,I`m sure their must be many more things you can remind her about,Just telling her how much you appreciate all she`s done for you would go along way in cheering her up
That sounds like a plan, maybe you can just go out with her and just talk to her about all the things she has done. She has raised a good kid right, that's an accomplishment in it's self. My mom has those feelings at times but i just remind her that she raised three kids on her own and did a great job.
Is she depressed? How depressed? She may need counseling and/or drug therapy. You could buy her an uplifting book if she likes to read. It could be anything that has a wonderful story or that is inspiring. If she likes movies, maybe get her a dvd. What does she enjoy? I think you could try to distract her and focus her attention on the things she loves. If she still shows no interest or very little then she might need more help.
That is so nice that you want to take her and your dad out to dinner. Just tell them a date and time that you want to take them out and see if they have the time to go.
Are you able to spend more time with your mom? You could go over and bring something for her that you baked or made?
The bottom line is thoughtfulness counts a lot. It means so much.
Taking her out for a meal sounds like a good plan. Perhaps you could also make a scrap-book for your mum and fill it with old photos of happy times (if she went to uni you could perhaps include a picture of her graduation ceremony... Or you could just include a picture of her with you as a baby... or a photo of her wedding day) this will show her that she doesn't have to have done anything massively grand to be seen as having achieved something in her life.
I'm sure your mum is just a bit down and would probably really appreciate you showing her that you care. You should be pretty proud of yourself, I'm sure your mum is proud of you too.
Good luck x
You are so sweet to be so concerned about your mom! I agree with LULU, you are definitely something to be proud of raising and you should let her know that she is appreciated and loved. This sadness happens to a lot of people later on in life at a certain age. Especially mothers who have given up careers and dreams to raise families. They reflect back on their lives and wonder if things could have been different or if they could have contributed more to society. It's like a sort of mid-life crisis. But just keep reassurring her that she's been a great mom and you love her.

Is it my fault for being over/too protective of someone who is my friend and is like family but really isn't?
