**This is going to be really long but I need to tell you how this all started**

Like most Wives, I don't really get along with my MIL. I used to.. When I was pregnant with my Son, everything was fine. Then when I gave birth, she just started to really irritate me.

When my son was first born, she came to visit us. (My Hubby is a Marine, we are stationed in AZ, n his family is from 29Palms) In my culture, we don't take the babies ANYWHERE until they are baptized. Besides Dr. visits, he is not to go anywhere. My MIL wanted us to bring to baby to 29 so he can see my FIL. I told her that after he is baptized, we will go visit. She kept pushing that we could take him to 29 n baptize him there. I kept explaining that he has to be baptized BEFORE he goes to 29. After an hour of arguing she finally left it alone. That is when it all started..

That same day my we were at my house for lunch. The baby was hungry so I took him to my room to nurse him. 3minutes later theres a knock on my door. My MIL just comes in. I use my son to shield myself from her. I don't even let my own mother see me breastfeed. I couldn't ask her to leave so I looked at my hubby to tell her. He didn't say anything. So she just stood there, watching. I was having trouble nursing. My son was so small, he couldn't latch on properly.. my MIL then says "Could I help?" before I even answered her she takes my boob n tries to shove it in my sons mouth. I felt so violated, yet couldn't say anything!!!

Now,I'm Asian Pacific Islander, the way I was raised to clean is to pretty much Bleach EVERYTHING!! My Hubby is White (not saying white people don't clean.. But there are White people.. n then there are Hill Billies. My Husband was raised by Hill Billies.) My In-Law's home REEKS of Dog/Cat piss, ****, n garbage. Idk if they are so used to the smell or their just too old to do anything about it. Whenever we went to visit, I would rub my hand lotion all over my hand n arms n then sneak some on the couch so that it wouldn't smell so bad. I could never tell my Husband. I felt it would be rude n disrespectful. Their home is cluttered.. they have bowls of wet cat food on the bar counter where they expect us to eat n their carpets are FILTHY. Its a white carpet but it looks dark DARK Grey from all the dirt n stains. I never said anything because that is their home, I don't live there. But when my son was born, I HAD to speak up. I didn't my son in that kind of environment for even 1minute.

When we went to visit, right when I opened the door, the Smell hit me in the face n I immediately became dizzy n nauseous. Like always, I kept quiet. After 5minutes in the house, I could not take it. I took my son (who I don't allow to sit ANYWHERE in that house but on my lap) n stood outside for about 30minutes before my husband came after me. It took me another 15minutes to tell him I was standing outside because of the smell. He asked his dad for some kind of air freshener. His dad then turned around n told the mom that I thought her house stinks -_-

I have a dog, but I didn't let him in the same room as my son in case of allergic reactions or if he gets the dog's hair in his nose or mouth. My MIL REFUSED to lock up her dogs when we came to visit n just disrespected my wishes when I told her not to have her dogs on her lap when she's holding the baby. When I wasn't looking, she would let her dogs lick my son's face. I got mad at my husband before he knew how I felt about that, yet said nothing to his mother. After arguing with Him, he finally told her Not to have the dogs near the baby until he's older. She looks at me n says "Why? I raised all my kids around dogs n their fine. What if I watch the dogs very closely?! They just want to sniff him n know who he is." Its just not in my nature to be mean or to try n tell someone what to do. So I said "whatever." n walked away.. after that my hubby knew I was irritated n took the baby away from my MIL.

When my son started to crawl n touch everything, my conditions for us going over to visit was that The carpets HAVE to be shampooed the day before we arrive. Dogs must be bathed the morning of. N everything within my son's reach must be cleaned n dusted. Of course when we went over nothing was done.. I couldn't put my son down to crawl or play. After my MIL left to the store my FIL brought me the Shampoo Vac n I did the carpets myself. It was absolutely FILTHY!! I showed my Hubby so he could see what our son would be crawling on n touching n then putting his fingers in his mouth.

I know my MIL doesn't like me. I know she thinks I'm trying to keep her son away from her (Which I'm NOT!! I've never stopped him from going to visit her. But lately things have been coming up n he can't go. I know she blames me.

My question is.. How do I tell my husband that most of the times that I

I have a wonderful 4month old baby boy. Everyone in my house is sick, including my husband and I. We tried to keep it away from the baby. But seeing as he sleeps in the room with us and his crib is right by our bed, he still got sick. He has no fever, just a runny nose, cough and congestion in his chest. I want to know what meds would be safe for a 4month old. What could take care of all 3 because I don't wanna give him so many different meds at once(I would go to his Dr. But her office doesn't open until 11am)

He's a 3year old chihuahua/ jack russle mix.. He has NEVER gone through the trash before. Reguardless of what we put in there. He's very well trained and we've never had a problem with that before. But the past couple of weeks we've been coming home and theres bits and pieces of trash all on the floor. I noticed he's has been acting up a lot lately since I found out I was pregnant. But could that really be why he's misbehaving? I know dogs can sense things... but still...

I had my HCG levels taken yesterday and the results were mailed to me. I dont know how to read it and the office is closed. I'd like to know how far along I am.. but again. I dont know how to read this.. can anyone help me out??

HCG Quantitative 92813 H < 5 mIU/ml

what the eff is that?!

For about a week now my breast have been really sensitive. Every little thing hurts to no end. Last night, I was laying on my belly and when I rolled over my breasts hurt so bad, to the point where I was crying. Its mostly the sides, under my breasts and the nipples that hurt. My mom thinks it my period coming, but this has never happened with my periods before. I'm not late yet....so there would be no point in taking a pregnancy test right now. Could I be pregnant? or would it be something else??

I doubt their growing.. I'm a 38DD...they cant get bigger than that lol

I posted this last night...but no one answered so...lets try this again.

I've had it for almost a year, never dropped it or anything. It was working perfectly fine yesterday and this morning.. then all of a sudden I tried to let my friend listen to this song I had on my phone and the speaker wouldnt work. You cant hear ANYTHING unless you plug ear phones into it. Whats up with my phone? And how can I fix it with out sending it in?

I've been sick for 4 days now. It hurt to swallow and sometimes even to talk. I thought it was strep-throat, but then I saw something swollen behind my tonsils. Like a random patch of flesh just bright red and puffy. I didnt want to go to the doctor just yet, we had a death in the family and didnt think I needed to go right away. The past 3 days I've been coughing a lot. There is a lot of flem in my throat. It doesnt hurt so much to swallow any more. But it really hurts when I cough, plus I can bearly speak. I had to go home early from work yesterday because I couldnt talk. Today its a little better, my voice is still raspy but you can at least hear or understand me (Still hurts a little though) For 2 days I've been coughing up a little blood mixed in the flem I cough out. This morning I decided I'll go into work today and stay my whole shift (unless the boss sends me home again) but then I started coughing again and again...spit out a bunch of flem with blood mixed with it. I'm going to the Doctor on Wednesday...but what do you think it could be?

My fiance and I have been together for a year and a half. We're deeply in Love and never cheated on each other before...we actually cheated on our Ex's to be together. This pass week has been very hard on us, he just lost his grandfather, the man who raised him. He's been understandably distant, but today seemed different. Today was the day his Dad had to go back to ND. We live in a small town in Az right at the boarder of Cali. So he had to drive his dad to the Phoenix Air Port. While I was at work at 8am, around 10am is when they left to Phoenix. I got off work around 1 in the afternoon, I didnt expect him to be home until 5 or 6pm. From here to Phoenix and back should take only 5 hours at the most for the driving part. Then I estimated that he'd be with his dad for an hour or two before he headed back. Added all up the trip should have only taken 6-7 hours. He finally came home at 9pm. He had been gone 11 hours. He told me he stopped by his grandfather's house to see how everyone was doing. We did just Bury his grandfather yesterday. He had only been home for maybe 10 minutes when his phone rang. He was outside so I answered and it was some girl and she asked for my fiance. I have been sick and could barley talk so I didnt bother to ask who it was and just gave him the phone. After a couple of minutes he comes back in saying he'll be right back. I asked him who was on the phone and where he was going. He said it was his sister and that she needed a ride. I didnt think anything of it. Then when he left, I remembered that last night someone kept calling his phone. I had it all that night, and every time I'd answer, they would hang up. After the 3rd time, I tried calling them back and they turned the phone off after it rang a few times. Then I looked at the phone. The number he "sister" called from wasnt on his contact list. He has all the numbers she usually calls from listed on it. Then I started to think...he had JUST gotten home when his phone rang...how did his "sister" know he was already home? When he got back I asked him about it. He told me that he spent 4 hours with his dad at the air port (I thought if his plane didnt leave for 4 hours why did he leave at 10 am?!?!? ) He said his sister had a new phone and he hadnt saved the new number yet. But that I can check his e-mail to confirm that she told him about her new phone. I havent checked that...yet. He swears that he hasnt and will never cheat on me. I still wasnt totally convinced. We have this thing we say to prove to one an other that we're not lying, and he said it. I couldnt argue with that. Do you think he's cheating? Or am I just being silly?

Since I was a kid my Doctors have always said I have big Tonsils. But it was never anything to worry about. Unless I was sick, they would swell up and make it difficult for me to breath. A couple years ago my Doctor said that if I get sick again and my tonsils swell to the point rt that its hard for me to breath, their going to have to take it out. Since then I havent gotten sick.. but a couple of days ago I woke up and it hurt to swallow. At first I thought it was strep-throat. But it wasnt my throat that hurt. It was the roof of my mouth..but just in the way back where my tonsils are. When I looked in the mirror, something was definitely swollen. If I go to the Doctor, he's going to tell me to have them removed. So my question is, when they remove your tonsils, will your voice sound the same when its all healed? What about your singing voice? I'm in choir and I LOVE to sing...will taking them out effect my voice??

Yesterday I got a phone call at work from my Fiance. He said that his Grandfather had a heart attack and is in the hospital. It immediately brought me into a flash back of my dad. Right after Father's day this year my dad had a heart attack and 3 weeks ago had 5 bypasses. My Fiance was with me at the hospital the whole time, it is really a miracle that my dad made it far enough to get the surgery, his heart was barley beating when they opened him up. Anyway, when I left work (3 hours after the phone call) I called my fiance to see if he was still at the hospital so I could meet him there. He told me he was at his Grandpa's house...and that he passed away. I was in complete shock. This man was virtually invincible in our eyes. He's been through WW2, Beat Cancer and has gone through so much yet you would never know he was ever sick. I drove down to the house and tried to be with my Fiance, but he wouldnt even look at me. He was upset, understandably..his grandfather was the one who raised him. I left him alone to think for a while, since he wouldnt speak to me at all. Finally, his first words to me in hours was that he was going to Phoenix later that night to pick up his dad from the air port and that he wouldnt get back until 2-3am. He asked if I would be ok at our home by myself, I told him of course. Asked if he wanted me to come with him and he just walked away. When he left to get his dad, he called me every couple of hours to make sure I was ok. When he got back into town he ended up staying the night at his grandfather's. He come home around 7 to make sure I was ok. Then left to go back to his grandpa's house...again, he didnt want me to go with him. And just a little while ago he called me and asked if I was going to go to the funeral. I told him I would..that I wanted to. Then he said "What about work..what if you work that day?" I told him my boss wouldnt keep me from going to a funeral, and it some how turned into an argument about how I never talked to his grandfather when he was here. How I was too shy and that all his grandfather wanted was to get to know me more. His grandfather put me in his will (Not sure if this is true..the grandfather would tell me that I'm in it because I'm the closest to a daughter he's ever had) Then he told me he didnt want me to go to the funeral. I asked why he didnt want me to go with him to his grandfather's..not even to say hi to his dad and he said he just wants to be with his family. The thing is..we're getting married soon...I'm his family too. I know This has been a hard month for him..his younger brother passed away 4 years ago on August 3rd (10 days before his birthday) and now the man who raised him passes away 2 days AFTER his birthday. I understand he wants some space...but why isnt only from me? He's only taking his anger and frustration out on me by telling me he doesnt want me with his family and making crude remarks about how many people have to die in his family until I stop being shy around them? And I'm not shy around them, yeah I keep to myself a lot because I'm respectful. When I walk into a room other people are talking.. I dont want to iinterrupt so I just sit and listen in.

But why is he pushing me away so much??? Is it because my dad just had a heart attack too but is still here? Could he resent me for that? Or am I just being silly?

I have younger twin sisters and they both have very mild Down Syndrome. They'll be 9 this October and before we know it they'll be getting a visit from Mother Nature soon. My mom never talked to me about my period until I was already on it. I want them to understand what it means to get their period. But their slight disability makes it difficult to explain it to them. I want to start talking to them about it now so when they get it, they wont freak out. They know what a Pad and a Tampon is, but they dont understand what its for.

How do you prepare 9 year old girls with Down Syndrome for their Menstrual Cycle???!!

So 2 nights ago was my fiance's 21st birthday. I was working that night, and when I came home (around 10-10:30) he was pretty much hammered. I told him to get into the shower and that I would help him. I figured we'd just shower together, and as I was soaping him, he kept moving around. I started to rinse him off and saw some red stuff on his penis. At first I thought it was the light going through our shower curtain, but when I sprayed it with water, it went away. When I moved the water away.. blood started coming out of his pee hole again. Not a lot though. At first I thought I scratched him when he was moving around. But realized I couldnt of scratched the inside of his pee hole. I rinsed it off one more time and the bleeding stopped. I dried him off and got him into bed. He started to sober up and said that his penis stung a little. Neither of us thought it was that much of an issue to take him to the ER or call the his doctor. He's fine now, but out of curiosity...what could of caused the bleeding?

Ok, I know I just posted this same thing like, 30 minutes ago, but appearently people didnt understand what I put about my vet not finding anything...

Yesterday I took my 2 month old puppy outside to use the bathroom. As always I watch her go..I thought she was peeing. But the pee looked weird and I saw some blood. I looked around to her backside and saw that she was pooping!! It seemed she had diarrhea but it was transparent and gooey looking and I saw some drops of blood come out. I called my vet and braught her in. But they couldnt find anything wrong with her. I've changed her puppy food, but now she wont eat much and she's still bleeding. What else could be the problem?? We're taking her to another vet tomorrow to see if they could find out whats wrong.

My vet did all the fecal testings and what-not. But the results said there was nothing wrong. So she ran them again and the same answeres came up. Roxy (my puppy) is still running around and picking on my older dog, Pancake like she always does. She eats...just not as much as she usually does. The only thing that has changed is her poop.

So along with my 3 dogs, I also have 3 Parakeets. Pancake, my oldest, LOVES to sit by the cage and watch the birdies. About an hour ago, one of the birds knocked its food bowl over and Pancake ate some of the seeds. I've been watching him and he seems fine. Do you think it should be something to worry about?

My fiance and I have been TTC for over a year now with no luck. In the ending of May my Dr. checked our fertility to find that nothing was wrong with either one of us. So when I asked how we didnt conceive he gave me this chart to follow on when to have sex according on my menstral. At the time my last period was April 1st but all tests were Neg. My menstral didnt come until July 2nd. After that we did as my Dr. said. AF was supposed to be here on the 2nd..the 5th at the latest. A couple days ago I thought all hope was lost when I saw some very light spotting..but that stopped after an hour. Then again today there was some brown spotting. That too cleared up. My fiance is really excited and will get the test right now if I told him I wanted to try....but I dont want to get my hopes up just to be let down AGAIN! How much longer should I wait to test?
