Mommy Dearest,
My mother-in-law buys our children lots of gifts, but gives them all to them well before Christmas. So when the holiday finally arrives and we head to her house for dinner there's nothing to open under the tree. My daughters are always sad when they have to sit and watch their cousins open their presents.

Mommy Dearest,
My daughter's fifth birthday is coming up and I'm throwing her the typical cake, ice cream and pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey-party with ten of her classmates. It's low key and because I was recently laid off, low budget. In order to further cut costs, I'm thinking of skipping the party favors unless you have any ideas for inexpensive options?

Mommy Dearest,
I'm a stay-at-home mom with a part time nanny that helps out when I need to run errands, work out, lunch with friends or take a night out with my husband. She watches our two sons, ages 5 and 7, for $20 an hour. My best friend and I usually go to the gym together so she drops her six year old off at my house and the children play while we are away.

Mommy Dearest,
My sister-in-law is pregnant, due in two months and this is her first baby. Up until recently she was planning on having the child at the hospital. Now she is telling everyone that she plans on having it at home naturally.

Mommy Dearest,
My boyfriend and I have had a tumultuous relationship while I have been pregnant with his baby. As a firsttime mom, I want to avoid any hospital drama during delivery. I want to do it on my own with my doctor.

Mommy Dearest,
I've got a baby shower dilemma. My cousin's baby shower is in two weeks and I'm pretty close to her. She's not a picky person, and often shops at second hand stores.

Mommy Dearest,
My husband and I have been married for two years. He has three sons from a previous marriage and they spend half of the time living with us. In the three years that I have known them, we have become so close that people often mistake me for their mother.

Mommy Dearest,
I don't like giving my three and four-year-old daughters candy. We've never gone trick-or-treating for this reason. But, this year all the families in our cul-de-sac are throwing an outdoor party since the holiday lands on a Friday.

Mommy Dearest,
My town has a few preschools, but one is extremely competitive and I'd like my son to go there. The problem is, he's my first child, so therefore I don't have the "sibling in" and spaces are few and far between. I know a mom at the playground serves on the school's board and has a lot of clout there.

Mommy Dearest,
The other day I was at the mall waiting for my ride when a car pulled up to pick up the grandmother, mother and three children standing beside me. The driver, who appeared to be the father, was in a rush and started screaming and swearing at the three-year-old who was slow to get into his carseat. The grandmother and mother chimed in and it sickened me especially because no one was even helping the child climb in.
