Sometimes if you fight BCBS
they'll eventually give in. When I started my period at 10, they were extremely severe. We found that I have a tiny hole in my uterus which caused all sorts of problems. My only options were hysterectomy or medication to stop my periods. Taking birth control pills nonstop did not do to the trick. I had to take an experimental medication since no doctor would do a hysterectomy on an 11-year-old. My mother fought BCBS tooth and nail and they ended up covering the $1600 a month medication. It's a headache to fight, but might be worth it.
sometimes i have to fight for my work sm
my work is two hours behind me, so most of the time, the docs don't start dictating until about the time hubby is ready to lay down and wants me to lay with him for a while. i'll tell him i need to work, then he makes this face like "you don't want to be with me" he doesn't sleep a full straight 7 or 8 hours, he gets up after about 4 hours, has lunch stays up for about 30 minutes or a little longer, then off to bed again until 9 pm at night when it's time for him to get up and leave. my hubby is like have another kid. (if you know what i mean) i have other issues that i won't get into on here, but was just curious about other MTs working. my work isn't a 24 hours work. my docs are there from about 7 am to about 6 pm and that's it. i find myself only able to work about 3 hourse before i have to pick up my kids from school.
i'm just having a frustraing day today.
Take this to a lawyer. Fight for him. This cannot be legal.

Are you saying you want the unruly ones, the ones who fight and fuss, have the beer
parties, conflicts all the time, loud, obxious music? All the neighbors around here are very quiet and decent ones. I think they are lovely- none of that low class acting out. I can tell from the posts that a lot of people apparently must like all that drama plus all the friction coming with it. To each their own.
But these are kids; they shouldn't have to fight at a young age nm
:)
Darlin', I saw fight fire with fire. Oh, I know, it's not being the "bigger person" BU
it's better than keeping it all inside and letting it fester. Your MIL sounds like mine and your DH sounds like mine as well. My husband doesn't want to deal with his mother, so he pretends he doesn't notice anything she says or does and the same goes for my FIL. He knows how is wife is, but he just ignores it. My husband will tell me privately "oh, you know how my mom is." For about the first year of marriage, I bit my tongue with his mother. But when I saw that my DH was never going to stand up for me, I decided to start biting back. She would say stuff like "You like you've put on a little weight, sweetie." and I'd say "you look like you've put on a few years."
My MIL and I have full on yell fests sometimes. We don't speak to each other for weeks or months because we're mad, but we always make up. Also, my DH has come around too. He has gotten to where instead of ignoring comments that his mother makes, before I can come back at her, he'll jump in and let her know that what she said was not acceptable. So now there are less fights because mommy doesn't like to be called out by her baby boy.
I think for a long time my MIl was just jealous of me because she was the main woman in her son's life for years and that changed when I came into the picture. So she turned every family gathering into a competition for her son's attention. I hated the first years, but now being married 16 years, I really don't care if she gets all his attention when we get together. Let her fix his food and tell him how great he is. Gives me the day off.
