Our son was born with a cyst in his lung last year and they were so angry that we wouldnt go back to NY for xmas. We were advised not to travel so that he wouldnt get sick and they just didnt believe us. We broke down and went and what do you know he got really really sick. That is when my husband finally woke up and said never again. That hand washing thing was horrible. Im sorry you had to go through that.

Im so sorry about your gown too. Although I have to say wow are you trusting. I too have a very evil sister in law and both have offered to do things for me but I just dont trust it. My MIL is not nearly to the level as my SIL but it has made for an aweful 15 years and in the end its still our fault no matter how mean they are its just over looked. We were told that we just take everything to heart and are selfish people. Even though the extended family agrees with us.

Whew anyway girl if you ever need to chat with someone who gets it just send me an email. By the way Im in SoCal too.
