Ask Lisi: Stressed mom may need more support at home

Dear Lisi: I’m in a baby group with a woman who doesn’t seem to be handling motherhood very well. Each week her baby has some other ailment and the mom arrives in tears. One week, the baby was screaming so loudly when they arrived that we all had no choice but to focus on her. The woman explained that she had a terrible diaper rash and it wasn’t getting better.

I wiped the baby’s bottom with a warm compress so as not to irritate it any more, lay her on her tummy while she air-dried, then applied the cream. I let that soak in while she continued with tummy time, and then put a fresh diaper on her. No more tears. I would continue going to this baby group, for your own benefit. If this woman also returns, you can be friendly, but keep whatever distance you feel comfortable with. If she leans on you for information and support, feel free to give it to her, but also suggest she speak with her pediatrician.

Dear Lisi: My girlfriend is cheating on me. I’m convinced! But when I ask her, she tells me I’m crazy. I’ve asked her friends and family, and they all respond with shock. But I think they are all lying to cover for her.
