Dear Carla, I would like to remain anonymous. Have you noticed how mothers in Bermuda seem to think their sons are God’s gift to earth? These same sons who are drug dealers and dead-beat dads? My mother in law - soon to be ex - does not see the error in her son’s ways! He is a dead-beat and all she can say is good things about him! Yet when it comes to her own daughters.. she bad-mouth’s their children’s father to no end! I understand the love of a mother, because of my own children, but under no circumstances would I be an enabler to my son, nor would I continue to support his dead-beat ways if he was not taking care of his children! What is up with that?!TIREDDear Tired,If only I had a dime for every time I’ve heard that story...I’d be rich! As a mother of two sons I agree with you wholeheartedly. There is no one way I would condone the actions of my sons which operated outside of my principles. But you must never forget one thing...blood is thicker than water on any day. No matter how much you think the mother condones her son’s behaviour...she may not...but she’ll never admit it aloud. Mama code.***Dear Carla, my husband is ten years older than me. Sex is almost next to nothing; maybe four times a month!! How do you address a situation that is very depressing when all other areas are perfectly fine?NEED MOREDear More,Have you expressed your frustration with your husband? Although you haven’t said how old you are, just because he’s ten years older doesn’t mean he’s incapable of having sex more often. Was your sex life more active in the past? Does he have a strenuous job or is it a libido issue? You’ve given very little information for me to go by buy ultimately talk to him about it. You say your marriage is great in all other areas. So work through this one and don’t let it become a spoiler.***Dear Carla, I love my girlfriend but she is too clingy and I don’t know how to tell her without her getting offended. She thinks that I need to be around her 24/7 and it’s driving me crazy. I care deeply for her but I see no reason why I have to be around her every waking moment of the day. I actually wish I saw her less so I could miss her more. When I stay awake she’s crying and carrying on and makes me feel guilty. Sometimes when I’m with her I’m fantasising about being elsewhere. But not with another female. If I go out with my boys she’s blowing up my phone. If I turn it off to party in peace there are upsetting messages popping through when I turn it back on. I don’t want to leave her but her behavior is aggregating me.GIVE ME PEACEDear Peace,Sounds like she is insecure. And annoying. She needs to understand the repercussions of her actions and what they could lead to - your breakup. If that isn’t what she wants it’ll behoove her to take a chill.***Dear Carla,I’ve created a monster!! I cannot get my two-year-old out of my bed. He’s never slept in a crib before and now refuses to get into his own bed. When I put him in his bed while he’s awake he’s screams his head off. I try to ride it out but the noise disturbs his sister who he shares a room with. If I wait until he’s asleep and place him in his bed afterwards at some point he wakes up and bangs on my door until I let him in. And then sleeps like a log. I want him out!!!!GET HIM OUTDear Get Him,My mother always said in order to have pleasure you sometimes have to endure pain. In this case, you have to be patient while weaning your son out of your bed. Keep the faith in knowing that this phase will end soon. Use your resources. Ask family or friends for advice on effective strategies. Go online. There are tons of articles/books which can be of help. Once you start your plan make sure you keep it up. Consistency is the key.
