Trying to Get Pregnant
Seriously!
Well I'm back from my grand adventure at Great Wolf Lodge with H's family and we made it through the snow.
I just need to vent that while there I watched my anorexic SIL who is almost 7 months with her third under 3 barely eat, ride down the water slides, and go in the hot tub! Just needed to share with people who would be just as outraged as I am!

Re: Seriously!
Well, if she was completely anorexic, she wouldn't even be ovulating, so maybe there's hope for her?
I got nothin'.
BFP 1/18/11, EDD 10/1/11. Born at 37w5d on 9/15/11.
***BFP Chart***
"There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning.
She's not completely anorexic, she eats in front of people because she knows they are watching her. She actually told me how much she typically eats in a day like I should be proud of her. My 13month old eats more than her on a bad day.
? I don't find any of this particularly outrageous. Anorexia is a serious disorder, and if what you say is true than I feel bad for her. One would think her OB knows how much she weighs and how much weight she has gained and would monitor her is they felt her weight gain was not healthy. Also, unless she was in the hot tub for more than half hour I don't find that particularly scandalous. Great Wolf Lodge has lifegaurds (as far as I know) and they allowed her to go down the waterslide. I guess she's just assuming (hopefully correctly) she knows what she's doing?
ETA: I am also one of those ones who *gasp* doesn't think my life should stop for my children.
I don't understand how she feels because I've never had an eating disorder, and I try to be as understanding as possible. Lopes you are 100% correct and I try to remind myself that she is under a dr's care and he is watching her closely. However, I am concerned about the health of my future niece/nephew. This is just one small example of of things that she has done to not propperly care for either herself or her kids.
I also forgot to mention that my 5 year old wa sleeping in her room because she wanted to sleep with her cousin. I told my SIL that I gave my kid cough meds because she is getting over a cold. The next morning with everyone up and a 2 year old throwing a fit my kid was crashed out asleep. Then SIL tells me she gave her cold meds in the middle of the night because she was coughing. No wonder I she was still sleeping, she overmedicated my kid! I would not have cared if my SIL came and woke me up or brought her to our room (right next door)! I would never give someone else's kid meds without permission. So maybe I was more mad about everything added up.
Lopes: I don't think my life should stop because of kids, but it should be adjusted. She makes no adjustments for her kids and if there are issues she makes her H take care of them. I guess it's their marriage and if it works for them what do I care. I'm just thankful that my H and I work together with the kids.
