  A little late, but I hope you are feeling better soon.   Knock on wood, I haven't been sick like this lately, but I know it must be rough with the little ones to take care of at the same time.  Snuggle under warm blankets when you can--even if you feel the need to blog and hack at the same time.....

  Wow, that bronchitis is getting around. A co-worker went to the er today in an ambulance, because she was having trouble breathing. Turns out she has bronchitis! She didn't even feel sick, she just couldn't take a deep breath and she became lightheaded. She's 56 and has emphysema, so we were really worried, but she's ok tonight.
  Watch out that your girls don't catch it, Flyn.  Is it contagious? I don't even know.
  

• Fallyn said on Feb 28, 2008....

  it's viral...so yes, it's contagious....my middle one already had it.
  she and i get sick easier than the other two kids.
  she gets illness induced asthma...and things tend to catch her easier...and i have a low platelet count....so my immune system is down.
  
  

• Twylarants said on Feb 28, 2008....

  My husband has a chronically low platelet count, so I'm very careful not to bring anything home for him to catch.  He's had hep c for 45 years...from a self administered tattoo. That's the reason for the low count.

• Fallyn said on Feb 28, 2008....

  mine is idiopathic thrombocytopenia.
  they don't know why...hence the idio
  

• Twylarants said on Feb 28, 2008....

  Wow. I'm glad I only had to spell hep c.

• Fallyn said on Feb 28, 2008....

  *laughing*
  yeah.....i've even had to spell it to some of my doctors.

  It sounds like you have a few problems to address. "why am i afraid of saying something to my mom? what was ingrained in me so so long ago that i can't say ANYTHING against any action she takes?". That's one that you need to address. It's really not good. You need to fix that. Reminds me of the song Whip It by Devo. When a problem comes along you must whip it. Before the cream sets out too long you must whip it. You need to beat that problem and the sooner the better. If you don't like the way your mom is treating your kids, you need to assert yourself because you are the mother, she isn't. Let me tell you something from personal experience. If anyone treated my kids in a way I didn't like, they wouldn't get away with it for one second. You need to protect your kids from something you don't think they should be subjected to. That's part of the job. If you can't do that, what good are you as a parent? You're not doing your job. Shut her ass up if you don't like what she is doing. I would, you can believe that. And I wouldn't be too kind about it either. I'd just be very direct. I'd say cut it out. Any opposition and I'd throw her out of the house. Mother, nothing. I don't care. Get out. Don't come back until you fix it.

  about what Len said: I did have to do the same thing when my daughter was younger and my step dad was trying out his assinine ways...I walked up to him as he was about to be ignorant to her at an Easter brunch...and I just laid it out there. I said either fly right RIGHT NOW or we are out of here and not coming back. Good ole dad changed his tune after that, so don't be afraid to say something.
  Hope you are feeling better today, xo, Mamie

• Twylarants said on Feb 29, 2008....

  Ya know, Flyn, I agree with Lennie and Mamie.  My father was a nasty man...hated kids, especially his own, and my mother had zero patience...we were pests to her, nothing more.
  I was the polar opposite of my parents, and they couldn't understand it.
  The first time I heard my father say, "if he were my kid....", he never had the chance to finish the threat.  I said anyone could tell they were not his kids, they were happy kids, well-loved kids.  And please leave my house.
  You certainly don't have to kick your mother out of your house, but telling her that's not how you want your kids to be treated won't kill her.  She'll get over it, and might even respect you for it.  Try to think of her as a peer, another mother rather than your mother.  You wouldn't allow another woman to yell at your girls, right?
  Bet you wouldn't let me yell at them, huh?
  I'm just kidding...I can't yell at kids, never could.
  

• Fallyn said on Feb 29, 2008....

  i wouldn't let anyone yell at them.
  i don't let them be around her generally for more than short periods.
  
  it's like...yes...they DO make messes.....yes...they ARE unusually difficult kids......they all have issues AND they've been through hell this past year.
  
  i just don't understand why its so hard for her to realize that.
