what do you think i should do?

Okay so i got prego with my daughter when i was 18 then got kicked out then when i was 19 my mom dropped my 2 sisters off at my house and never came back to get them and so i got full custody of them and it ruined my sisters they have never been the same i am now 20 and taking care of my daughter and my 2 sisters and am 3 months prego. well my 2 sisters are 4 and 14 and they miss my mom so much and they cry every night and they still do my 4 year old sister made me put a phone in her room so she could hear it if my mom ever called and there will be times when she wants to go on a walk and look for mommy and it hurts me so much because i accualy got in touch with my mom a year ago which was 2 months after she dropped them off with me and she told me she never wanted to see the brats again and i just wish she could see what shes doing to my sisters she is tearing them apart my 14 year old sister takes it easier then the 4 year old. 2 weeks ago i found out where my mom is staying and was trying to figure out weather i should go by and talk to her and see if theres anyway she would come back in my sisters lives or if i should take them by to see her because today which is mothers day my 4 year old sister picked flowers out of the garden and came to me and said can we find mommy and give these to her because i know how much she loves them and that just tore me up its so sad watching them cry every night wishing she would come back. in a way i really do not want my mom to come back in there lives because she is not stable at all and i know she will just run off and leave them again and i do not want then to go through that again i do not think they could handle it and so im leaning more towards not contacting my mom and leaving it alone but then i feel like im letting my sisters down and not helping them see there mom again but i know she does not want to see them because if she did she would of came by to see them because she knows where i live its been a year since they have seen her so i guess it probably would be better if i leave it alone and not contact her right? so do you think it would be better off for them to talk or see there mom again or if i should just leave it alone and tell them that i can not find mom and that she loves them but needs time away? so please suggestions are wanted
i would def talk to my mom before i ever made a decision weather i want them to see her or talk to her but if she does not want to see her talk to her i am not going to force it because i can not stand to put my sisters through that i am still deciding weather i want to put myself through it an go talk to her but thanks for your help it means alot and im sorry about your situation also. and if you do not mind i might have my 14 year old sister email you one day so she can talk to you about it and maybe you can help her thanks again
see them or talk to them***

Why is my friend being so unsupportive of my relationship with my husband and my pregnancy?

I have a really amazing husband. And my friend constantly gives me bad unasked for advice on my marriage and pregnancy. Me and my husband never fight, he’s never said anything mean to me or done anything wrong, he’s so attentive and we have all the same goals in life. I’m now 36 weeks pregnant and have had a really easy pregnancy. I didn’t look or feel pregnant at all until about a month ago. I only stopped working 2 weeks ago and plan on going back after maternity leave as I work in the family business and can take baby with me.  My husband works very hard long hours as a fitter/machinist.
I think my husband can do no wrong. My friend thou feels different. I sometimes feel she is trying to make us fight and gives me stupid pregnancy advice. She says i “wait on him like a slave” and “I am doing damage to my baby by doing housework” and gives me silly advice about money even thou she’s horribly in debt and we own 2 houses. I dont see myself as a slave. Yes we  conform to a more traditionalist lifestyle but that’s because it suits us. She told me to stop doing all housework and make him do it, but he works really long  hard hours and is so tired so why would I force him to clean. I do try  really hard to make him happy but that doesn’t make me a slave. He does all his parts to earn what I do for him. He buys me flowers, rubs my pregnant feet, gives me all the money and treats me like a queen. I do things like… He wakes for work at 5 so I wake up early aswell cos i like to keep the same hours and i make him coffee and pancakes, French toast, or an English breakfast.(she says this is dumb) I lay his work clothes out ironed, make him fancy lunches, and always have dinner ready when he comes home, I do all the housework, I also give him back massages every second night as he gets sore with all the lifting. I really love to cook so it’s lucky he isn’t fussy. I also bake cookies, pies, pastries and cakes for him(not me thou… Diabetic). She tells me to stop having sex with him saying im too far along and will have a stillborn?? Tells me to stop doing housework altogether and just stay in bed?? Don’t walk the dog while pregnant??(but I like walking the dog after he gets home from work) stop cooking him dinner?? (what will I eat then?) she complained cos I made and froze 3 dozen meals in the freezer for him to eat when I’m in hospital and the weeks before and after to make it easier. She said he should make his own. But what’s wrong with me making it? She complained that I’ll have a stillborn from vacuuming everyday… Or even once a week. But with 2 long hair indoor cats and a 60kg great Dane who lives inside I really have to vacuum every day cos they shed hair absolutely everywhere. She says i have to stop all housework… She complained that I pick up the dog poop in the backyard? But I sorta have to. I dont wanna avoid using the backyard all day cos it’s got poop everywhere… Great Danes really do crap everywhere. She even gave me attitude cos I put a little makeup and perfume on before he gets home from work.  I do all the gardening but that’s cos I like gardening… She tells me to get rid of my dog. But thats my baby and she’s a really great dog, she doesn’t bark, bite or even notice babies in prams when I walk her. Very laid back lazy dog. She says I’ll “hate the dog and everything I have to do for it when the baby comes out” and that ” you’ll have to learn how to devote ur life to the baby and forget about ur husband” why would I forget about him? ” get rid of ur cats cos u won’t have time for them”. So if it were up to her I would hang around her house all day, throw away all our pets, stop doing housework, stop cooking, stop wearing makeup and eventually get a divorce. Why is she being so horrible and constantly putting my husband down even thou it’s clear I don’t feel the same? I’ve never complained about him so why would she say to me “I’m gonna have a talk to ur husband about this”? That would just make it look like i complained. When I never have! I’m very happy with our life. I love looking after him, and cleaning and being pregnant. She says I need to be wrapped in cotton wool practically. But I’ve had the healthiest pregnancy. She acts like it’s “wrong” to love my husband so much. Is it cos shes never had this? Her babies father dumped her 3 weeks after telling him she was pregnant. So what’s the real reason she keeps being so mean to him? She reckons we got married to fast and young. But we were 25 and knew eachother for 6 months but I knew on out first date I wanted to marry him.
Animal hoarder? Troll alert! I’m a vet nurse who already has had toxoplasmosis so that’s a mute point. And anyway we don’t let the cats even have litter boxes in the house. They let themselves out the doggy door as I have enough “shi.t” at work that I really don’t want it at home. They are very well toilet trained.
Apparently owning 2 cats and a dog and vacuuming every day makes someone an animal hoarder.
Im definetly gonna tell her to stick it. I usually just say I have to go if she starts being weird. I think it’s jealousy. My mother says she wants me all to herself… Or my husband all to herself. She doesn’t have a partner as hers ran off after 3 years of dating 4 weeks after getting pregnant. I don’t think she has any idea what it means to be a wife or a girlfriend. Or financial responsibilities. I can’t just give up work and sit at home and let my husband do all the housework. We have 2 mortgages and a baby on the way. My family owns a veterinary surgery and I’d never wanna give up my job and sit around at home cos I love my job. I’d go insane from boredom with no housework or job.
