I really dont know much about arthritis,but it sounds like you are a great daughter. Your mom probably doesnt expect you to do much,but even just little things around the house, or fixing her something to eat or drink every now and then would probably show her how much you care. Most importantly talk to her about how you feel, and ask her what you can do for her. I know I love it when my kids come up to me and give me a hug and say youre my best friend mommy, its very touching, even though theyre only 2 & 3. I hope they care for me as much as you do for your mom when they get older. Good luck to you.

Hi sky,
thank you so much for your advice it really did it help me alot i'll try my best to express the things I want to talk about my mom and everything so it will help me alot,and i'll always tell her I love her and care about her because I always I do say "i love you mom and I care about you alot" when she drives me to school or whenever we do anything together as mother and daughter! Laughing

I know it really makes her day, but i'll try my best to help her clean our house and do things for her so thank you again sky!

Take care and truley yours,
ashley
