My story is a long story. But I will shorten it a bit for you. First of all my boyfriends mom and me have always had a weird relationship from the beginning. She is all about his brother's girlfriend. They go shopping together, go out to eat together, go hang out together, etc. I have never once been invited to do anything. Even when we were first dating she never ever reached out to me. Now this is where the long but shortened story comes. Last year I found out my boyfriend of 5 years was an Alcoholic. He went to rehab and in that time his mom and I were sort of getting along in the beginning, but then half way through things went back to where they were between us. We went from talking at least once a day to not talk at all. Once he got out things between him and I were good at first. Then he started stressing a lot about his job and having money to pay the bills. Two Saturdays go I found out he was drinking again. I didn't call his mom until the next morning. I just didn't want to deal with her at the time I found out because I was trying to figure things out. I made up my mind to move out. Him and I are still dating. True my mom isn't his biggest fan, because of him hurting me again and putting me through the whole drinking again. But then I found out last night that his mom is pissed that we are still together and that she hates me. I don't know why. And that is what really is bothering me. Why is she hating the one person who has tried to help her son ever bit of the way? In someways I don't know if I can be in a relationship where his mom hates me. I know most people don't get along with in-laws and that but there is no reason for her to hate me. I did what I had to do for me and him. For him to wake up and realize that I wasn't going to sit back and let him drinking. I have nothing but been nice to him mom every time we are around each other. It makes me so upset.

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...
Don't take it personally, I say. Just do what you can.
