What do I do?

This is a little advice on what NOT to do. Whatever you do don't start screaming and yelling at your hubby over it. Unfortunately this is the only way I can get anything through to my DH. It is very immature and I HATE it. We are actually going to marriage counceling because of our lack of communication skills. Well, I communicate he tunes me out until I turn up the volume and litterally through a fit. I don't know why he does this.....

I'd say "what to do" is to take care of the sick kid who in this case appears to be your stepdaughter (your CF kid has a genetic condition that is of concern, but is not "sick" at the moment). Conjure up some concern for your stepdaughter. (Can't be fun or good to have snot rolling out all of the time.) Share that concern about your stepdaughter's health with her mom and dad. Maybe take the initiative to make the doctor's appointment when she's with you.

I suspect that in the past your communications about your stepdaughter's health were framed in your greater concern for your CFers health so it might take a while (if ever) for her parents to believe that you are concerned for your stepdaughter herself so this all may take a while.

You've got 2 sick kids in your family. Both need love and care. Neither needs it more or is entitled to more. Do for your stepdaughter exactly what you'd do for your CFer - with the same sensitivity and love -- and it will all work out over time.

We talked last night and decided to not put anything back on Kim at all. If we are not happy with our children's health then we will take it upon ourselves to do what we have to do as a family to get it taken care of. Act as if we had all four children 24/7 instead of just on the weekends. I haven't made any appointments in the past as to not undermine the "mothers authority" but from here on out I will.

Alyssa had an appointment yesterday and the doctor did say it was probably allergies but is sending her back to the ent specialist to find out why her surgery last november has not helped her other symptoms. So, hopefully we will have some answers soon and Alyssa will finally have some relief.

My whole argument on her side is I KNOW it is not fun to be sick for even a day, how would it feel to be sick all day everyday for over a year. It must be miserable. I would never let my child go thru that without searching for answers. I am not the real mother of these two children but I will step up and act like it if their mom can't. Jeff was sort of relieved to hear me say that we just deal with it between the two of us and not rely on Kim to get it done. He hates talking to her anyways. Haha! So, thanks for the suggestions guys. Problem solved.

Good I am so glad to read the post all the way through and see that resolution.. I was worried for ALyssa.. She seems really sick she even seems like she has CF symtpoms with breathing treatments and sinus surgery.

I am glad she has you to step up to the plate it isn't her fault her mom isn't doing the right thing by her, she is just a little child.. I wonder if her mom needs some parenting classes or so good strong role models.. hint hint to help her see how to care for her child best.


I know it is probably the last thing you feel like doing but think how grateful that little girl will be to have someone love her enough to spend time helping her to feel better....

I know you are perfect for this job...
