Motherly advice please.

I know that there are some mothers on this forum, Stacy Rayne etc.. well I just wanted to ask a seriouse question. I have a 6 year old sister, and she is a mommys girl. and the problem is that my mom works second shift. she leaves at 2:30 pm and gets home at 12:00 am. It isn't a problem, I gladly take care of my sister, she is one of the most important people in my life. WE live with my dad as well, but he works 2 jobs and isnt around too much, and when he is, he is just sort of there. i also live with my 15 year old brother. Im 18 btw. anyways. when i am not working i help take care of my sister. but latley she cries alot, about how she misses her mommy". and ll she does is worry about her. I dont know if this is something she seen on tv that may have caused her to think this way. but she seems worried that something is going to happen to her. and i do the regular routuine. play games with her, watch movies and just hang out with her as much as possible but the past couple of days it has gotten progressivly worse. and today she has just been crying nonstop because she misses her mom. I have calm3ed her down and she is watching hello kitty and eating popcorn, but I just wondered if any of you mothers had some advice for me:)

Perhaps one of her friends at school said something to her. I would just reassure her that everything is fine, and her mom has to be gone to work for her so she can have all the great things she gets.

Did you speak to your mom about it?

doesnt sound too bad to me

i was home alone a lot cuz both my parents worked. a lot of the kids in my neighborhood are like 12 ,13.. 14 and u cant leave em alone. we moved here when i was 10 and i was handling shit - laundry, dishes, cooking, taking care of my bro, hw, etc.

anyway. shes not ALONE, ur there with her. shift kinda sucks yeh but if thats what putting food on the table.. anyway, as long as they spend good time together on the weekends.

LMAO, true. but most of the really bad movies are on dvd-r and dont have cases for her to look at. and i still dont letter her see them. although as i am typing this i am watch "Goblet of Gore" and there is a scene where this guy is fucking his girl friend and goes crazy and stabs her in the stomach and then procedes to stick his dick in the hole (and they show every last detail) he then starts ramming her so hard that his dick comes out her mouth and the moment he starts ejaculating she rips in half with blood and cum shooting every where. :eek:

Needless to say its a pretty good movie so far:D

If you can't get her to stop crying, pretend to like, hurt yourself...yknow...fall over, run into walls, slap yourself and the like...always worked a charm with my little brother.

Oh, and your mother needs to talk to the kid, which means you need to talk to HER, I'd suggest having a sitdown on her next day off too.
Probably just some minor anxiety issue that'll be dead easy to fix.

I'm not a mom, but I've done some work with kids before. I'm sure that she's just looking for a little attention. Maybe she feels as though if she keeps telling you and your mom that she's afraid "something's going to happen to mom" that your mom will stay home or something...you know? :)

Things will most likely be much better after you all talk. I'm sure all she needs is a little reassurance from her mother that there's nothing to worry about and that she loves her.

I hope things improve.
