Re: Other family members won't put the helmets on the boys

[Guest guest]

I can't believe they would be so stubborn. They are your children regardless of

who is watching them. I would print out some information for them, including

some drastic before and after pictures, and maybe take a look at the cranial

tech website. If they could see what was happening maybe they would help. Also

maybe you can convince them to give it a trial basis. The children will most

likely stop sweating so much within a week.

I hope they will come around a bit. This must be really frustrating. They should

realize that this is something that could affect their relationship with you for

the rest of your lives. Are your in-laws immigrants too? Maybe you can find

someone from their community who might help you convince them this is

worthwhile.

Hello, You need to be so strong and talk to your husband to explain in good

terms the need of the helmets to his family, and if not, maybe ask for some days

in your job and stay home to take care for your boys, the money doesnt matter

rigth now, you can woory for that later and spend your time with your baby boys,

maybe you can find dome articles about the complication of the plagiocephaly amd

meake them read about. Be strong and brave, I know about problems with in laws

and dont let them scream at you, and dont argue at them just talk to your

husband and let him to struggle with his family. Good luck!!! Find some help

with your family also.

Hello everyone again, I just want to post some update here. I finally got the

grandpa,grandma and my husband to agree to put the helmets on my twins, it's

been two days already.

There have been a lot of fights, then tears (from me of course, ^V^) and

emotional talks, FINALLY they thought that if I don't band my boys the family

will fall apart.

No mater what, I am all happy now!!!! Thanks everyone for all your support!

It makes me so happy to hear this! You mean a lot more to them than you thought and they will not regret the decision you have made for your twins.

good for you! I think you should get some sort of award for your performance. Whatever it takes you have to do it as a mom and always trust your instincts. You are a good mom and your children will be grateful to have you. Kelsie
