But this time it's something different. We got a second opinion at walmart for my daughter's eyes....see she was having recurring headaches and it comes down to the fact the other eye office didn't show her how to use her bifocals right or even told us why she needed them they just said she did.....well I go to eye care normally and hubby wanted me to lie and tell them that it wasn't her eyes that was bothering me and didn't want the eye care to know about a second opinion. I couldn't bring it in my heart to lie to them. I HAD to tell them. Turns out she's looking through the bifocals at the wrong times....looking through the bottom when she's supposed to look through the top for close up things....looking through the top when she's supposed to look through the bottom for things farther away....the daughter has a focusing problem with the eyes when she looks close up without her bifocals her eyes tend to go cross eyed. So she needs the bifocals. MY dad butt his head in and insisted she get a second opinion worrying about all her headaches. Warranted I granted the second opinion because I was worried as well....also the wallmart eye doctor said she may be wearing them too much and shouldn't wear them when she is playing outside or playing dolls inside but has to wear them with video games and on the computer. I dunno what to do. I didn't lie and say it wasn't her glasses when it was.....and now I feel guilty and the paranoia that the husband is gonna hate me because I didn't do what he wanted makes me feel bad.

Surely he won't hate you for telling the truth. The end result was that she was looking thru the glasses incorrectly. It's always best to tell the truth. btw---I wouldnt have know to look at the bottom for far away, so she is not alone in doing that. Don't worry about her hubs, you are her Mom and you did what was best and that was being honest. Best of luck!

Thanks......I called a friend and talked to her and she broke down to the hubby for me and in the end all is well now. I told them that she was wearing them too often and that she was looking through them the wrong way and all was good and turns out hubby wasn't really mad about me telling them that there was a second opinion. I feel much better now.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
