Got to love family!! NOT!!!! That sucks, Sox!
I move in from another province and my Grandmother and Aunt did dick all. Not a call. When I finally call them after getting settled their first words were, we were wondering if you would ever call. Huh?? Like they couldn't be bothered to pick up the phone??
Needless to say, they live a half hour away and I haven't seen or spoken to them in years. Bleh! I have enough headaches!

Can't answer for the kid thing but I do agree it was nice for your husband to step up when you couldn't. That means something, right?
