Guest guest Posted March 29, 2002 Report Share Posted March 29, 2002 -Anyone who has MIL or even mother problems should take some time to watch I Love . Now I do not normally recommend comedy family shows (except for Cosby) but this one nails the guilt-guilt that some families put on each other. I love it!!!

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Hi Karin, I feel your frustration at your MIL's lack of understanding about your daughter's condition and hope that educational literature does help. The IDF website has a lot of literature available at many different levels. Just a thought-- Could it be possible that there may be an emotional block to being able to accept that a grandchild has an illness? My mother-in-law also could not understand (and currently still does not fully understand) that my daughter's IgA and suspected specific antibody deficiency is more than something that can be fixed by taking vitamin supplements and eating the right foods. All the documents we gave her couldn't convince her that my daughter's illness was due to a lack of good parenting skills and the fact that we didn't follow her advice. For example, in her mind giving children milk and milk products was essential to good health. Milk products give my daughter hives--however, MIL didn't really believe me. I think it is the fact that my husband and I are " children " in her mind and she has successfully raised two children so who would be the more knowledgeable about child rearing? When my daughter was much younger -- almost three she had to go into the hospital for one month of IV antibiotics around Thanksgiving and Christmas. My MIL was very angry and upset at me and my husband because she thought this was unnecessary. Even the pediatrician was not able to fully convince her of the necessity. At this point, I realized that it was important for me to set limits with my MIL in order to protect the health of my child. You know your child best and are in the best position to know what she needs.

I had to take my daughter to the Ped this morning because she has had a sore throat and congestion, and I wanted to be sure she doesn't have an ear infection, sinus infection, or Strep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
