OP

This could not be worse of any idea.  People need to worry about their own bodies, not what other women do!  This is supposed to be the land of the free, but people are trying to turn it into the "the land of the free as long as you agree with me."  It's a medical procedure and no one else's business period!  For some women, it's a hard enough decision to make without having other people tell them how they should do it! 

If you do not believe in abortion...great, don't have one, but mind your own business and leave other people alone that need/want to have one!  Again, it's none of your business what someone else does. 

I don't have any children and don't want any.  While I always use birth control, that's not 100%, and if it failed, I certainly would get an abortion without hesitation.   I much rather have women get abortions than bring a child into the world that they don't want and mistreat or that they can't pay for and stick ME with paying for it!  There are enough leaches out there having kid after kid they can't pay for, and we tax payers are footing the bill.  Enough is enough already! 

How about all you people that but your nose into other people's business and don't want these women to have abortions pay my share of taxes too since you don't mind paying for all of these unwanted children! 

  My son is in a band, too! 

I found my first bat upstairs in the hayloft a few years ago...oh it was so cute and so tiny!  My husband had to physically hold me back from trying to pick it up.  I think it was a youngin' who just came inside to sneak a nap and decided bales of hay were a most comfy place to crash. 

I pretty much try to make a grab for anything like that...which is totally not normal, I know. 

Spiders though...well, if I see a spider, no matter how teeny, I do that thing...what's it called..."vagal."     I'm like a fainting goat when it comes to spiders for some reason.  Pass right the frig out and poo myself.  Not too proud of that, but there ya have it, so I can totally understand someone else's phobias for sure!

First as a mom who adopted her first son when he was 9, I say congratulations to you all.  What a special blessing it is.  Your daughter has probably already met all of your relatives, but we made a special photo album with all of the extended relatives in it and labeled each one so that he had an album of his new family.  We also had a photo album of the adoption procedure with pics of all of us with the judge and pics of Anthony behind the judges desk and such.  We had a great judge, who let us take our time and take as many pics as we wanted.  We also planted a tree in the back yard as a reminder of adoption day, which we celebrate each year just like it was a birthday.  Also we bought a special frame for the adoption certificate and it is hanging in our living room in a very prominent place.  Something that we thought about after the fact and never did was to take out an adoption anouncement in the paper, just like a baby anouncement. 

Just some of the ideas that we used, praying that you have a joyous and blessed life with your new sweetheart. 

I've never seen any links like that...that I was aware of. 

 My husband always claimed since he had seen my first 2 C-sections as well as watched 1 on TV that he could've delivered our third child at home.  LOL!

I understand your anger and I don't blame you at all - but be sure of your facts before you make a huge deal out of this. For example, your SIL might have been talking to your niece about the topic in general and your niece asked specifically about your husband and son, to be sure she understood what her mother was telling her.

Not defending your SIL at all, I'm just saying that your niece is only 8 years old and she could have condensed an entire conversation down to one sentence. Just be sure of the facts. If indeed your SIL did say exactly those words in exactly that way, then I would certainly agree that asking her why she is suddenly singling out your husband and son is an appropriate reaction.

I was recently told by my SIL that she would prefer that I didn't tickle her children (in the ribs, in front of the whole family - not like I was trying to hide it) because they have ONE family member who lives a THOUSAND miles away who is a pedophile. So they don't allow ANY family members to touch their children at all, except for a hug when you are leaving their house - and at that point, I felt awkward even about that and waited for her to say, "Go ahead and hug your aunt."

So I really do understand how you're feeling. I think my SIL is WAY overreacting to the situation but those are her children and I don't have any right to tell her how to raise them.

Your SIL may be just trying to make trouble. That is certainly a possibility. But it's not the only possibility.

Good luck. I hope the situation can be resolved without any hard feelings.
