You need to be very careful. Your spouse may become physically abusive, or worse, harm you and/or the children. This is not unheard of and is happening with more frequency. The fact that he wants to keep you isolated (cell phone) from family is not a good sign. Do not let him take the children unless under court order. Call law enforcement if you have to. Ask what counselor would recommend.

I'm ticked....sm
My poor mother...my dad has stage IV gastric cancer and is the hospital with anemia and weakness and probable at least oozing from the tumor. Mom said she got a call this morning at 6:30 from a doctor at the hospital saying Dad needed 2 units of blood but wouldn't sign for it and he was also not putting out much urine or responding very well (he was NOT like that AT ALL last night when I saw him) and maybe it was time for comfort measures only. The doctor then gave the phone to a nurse who proceeded to call my mom by the WRONG NAME. They had called her by mistake. At 6:30 in the morning!  I mean I understand everyone makes mistakes, but wouldn't you think they would be extra certain they had the right person at that hour of the morning with that kind of news?

Wow. Talk about huge mistake. I do not understand why they did not double check their records either. I have a scary one as well. When a friends father was in ICU for a total of a week, they couldn't understand why his sugars were so low. On the eve of trying another med it was found they were giving this man insulin and he was not diabetic. Yes we all make mistakes but WE are not health care providers. I am not saying they do not make mistakes either but we hold them to a higher degree of accountability. That mistake was just plain wrong. I am sorry for your worry.
I'm SO Ticked Off Right Now!
My kids and I have been staying with my folks for a little over a month. I left a mentally abusive situation that my kids didn't need to see any longer. I had found out from an attorney about a year ago that it was perfectly legal for me to do so if I felt unsafe. Of course, Hubby was mad that I left, and took "his" kids, never mind that he drove me to the decision. I've been willing to have him come & visit them here, as long as he doesn't make trouble, because I know they shouldn't be kept from him completely. However, he called the other day, and wanted me to meet him somewhere to talk. I had suggested it a month ago & it wouldn't work--because it was my idea. Next, he said he was going to come & get them for the weekend. My lawyer had told me that I didn't have to agree to him taking them, and he would then need a court order to do so. So--he showed up with his parents tonight. Unfortunately, both kids were right there. Things were fine, until he demanded that he was taking the kids for the weekend. I told him he couldn't, because I don't trust him to bring them back, since we don't have visitation rules established. Secondly, DS has an ear infection & has been up half the night for the last several nights. Before, he couldn't handle the two of them for a few hours by himself, so why does he think he can handle a whole weekend? He's lied to me too many times before for me to be able to trust him. (Who in their right mind would sign on a car loan for someone he knew his wife didn't trust, even if he thought he did, then lie to her about it, putting them in financial distress? Who in their right mind would turn his wife in to the Department of Children and Family Services for simply spanking a misbehaving child? (She told his mother some tale about getting pushed as why she had a very small scratch on her chin. Grandma wasn't smart enough to believe that she was telling stories to get attention. She'd been telling us all kinds of wild things.) Who in his right mind would take his wife 2 hrs. from home for prenatal testing, and demand she turn off her cell phone so that if her family wanted to talk to her to make sure everything was ok, they had to go through him. Who in his right mind would call his FIL a SOB, when he was just trying to help out? (over the car issue) We all had some pretty heated words, and when they left (without the kids), Mom & Dad turned on me! This hasn't been easy for any of us, but I think their expectations are a little too unrealistic. Their house isn't child-proofed, yet they get upset if my 2 y/o DS gets hold of something of theirs that he shouldn't have (my dad's car magazines). I've told them to put away things they don't want the kids messing with, but they say it's their house & they shouldn't have to do that. They also think I should be right behind the kids, picking up after them, or insisting they do it. I did that (picked up after her constantly) when DD was little. Found out it was all I got done & quit being such a fanatic about it. Mom never did get the concept that my house may not have been as perfectly kept as hers, but my kids were happy that I took the time to spend with them instead of being totally busy all the time. They've also reverted to treating me like a little kid, with chores and all. No, I don't mind helping out, but I don't want to be treated like a maid, either. I got enough of that in my own house. I'm so sick of all the disrespect from everyone. And, at one point, they actually wondered why it seemed that DD didn't respect me! Well, her dad didn't for one, and now it seems that no one else is, either. I really don't need this in front of the kids!
At this point, I'm seriously considering getting out of here as soon as I can get my furniture from my own house. No income right now, but I'm in training for a work-from-home job, so the money should be there soon. Luckily, there are apartments nearby that are income-based. Last I knew, they were pretty nice.
Thanks for letting me vent!
Yeah, I Would be Ticked sm
Considering Santa Claus was, in fact, a real human being and did exactly what the "myth" states in terms of presents for children and such (he didn't have reindeer and didn't commit B&E), the teacher was undoubtedly wrong and way out of line. That would be like the teacher saying, "Johnny, the reason you have bright red hair and your parents are both brunettes is because you're adopted" or something equally invading. Extreme comparison, I know, but to a child not emotionally ready to let go of Santa, the reaction could be as devastating.
Facility was so ticked with agency, no way you

But what about that bipolar student who might get ticked off
Seems to me odds are someone will get hurt if everyone carries guns, statistically speaking. Even an accident could happen, or the gun could be placed in the hands of someone who might just do more harm than good. Just IMHO.
Ticked when I type melanosis coli due to laxatives
Just typed this again. I was told in the past I had melanosis coli and nothing, absolutely nothing I could say about NOT taking laxatives was heard by the physician. Once again this physician saying due to chronic laxative abuse. Does anyone out there know of or have similar condition not due to laxatives and if so, what could this be from? Oh, did forget, constipated in 1964 and took a laxative then.
I'd be totally ticked! Time for a compromise or separate
