MM - Dimetapp is like a decongestant and an anti-histamine so it kind of dries up the snot a bit AND also reduces the swelling in the nasal, sinus and ear passages so they don't block up. You might need a script for the infant one (not sure about Demazin, you might be able to get that over the counter?) but worth a try.
Kate, I'm with Rainy, a day out having girly-time could be what everyone needs. Your DH needs to get with the program. Can you talk to your MIL and get her to tell him he's got to pull his weight? I can't even believe he left you at home to go and have dinner at his mothers (what the hell is that about??). Time to negotiate some boundaries re free time (ie you might agree to one night a week for him provided you get one night or a weekend morning/afternoon for you). Then he can pick how much he wants to go fishing vs visiting his mother or cram it all into one evening. One of my male colleagues takes his 2 small DDs for cafe brunch every sunday morning & then they got to a park/for a walk, whatever, because it's the standing arrangement that it's his wife's "time off" for the week. Rock solid arrangement. Fair's fair. A lot of men complain about not having free time when their kids are little but they need to be men and suck it up. Like we do. xxx and !!
Andi - your gallstones sound horrible! Your mum sounds like a warrior woman, fighting with the surgeon to get you admitted LOL! I take it bepanthen didn't have any long-term effects on Jack LOL. Swimming (ie playing in the toddler pool) is great isn't it? We went to our new local pool the other day and they've got a frog slide, a water gun, lots of fountains, etc and it's all shaded. Woohoo!!
