See in the beginning of our marriage it was all about Todd's kids from his first marriage and his ex wife. And now that my family is around - I am sure it is tough for him. They are not the same kind of people. So there is friction there. And we definately have seperate views. ::sigh:: There just isn't an easy fix for it... Yeah – I am not saying you are wrong on that.

When he starts up, I give him my best hurt look and say, "You PROMISED me you wouldn't act like your dad when he gets his crank on." That usually stops him in his tracks. I don't have advice for you on your hub, though. Except to say that I have noticed the two of you seem to... lead separate lives out of separate views? Don't get mad at this but... I do notice that you spend a LOT of time with your dad, sister, etc... do you think this lack of 'leave & cleave' might be a wedge between you and your husband? That he might feel like because you have your family, you don't really assimilate into his? I don't know, I'm just asking. Because it seems your dad is pretty cantankerous, too.

Make sure they drink their water from a bucket and give them electrolytes in it! ok news flash – feeding goats plain water in their bottle or lambar will make them sick – they over drink the water.

I understand about spending the $$$...but sometimes you have to step back and take a long look at things (like when my favorite horse had to be put down. Yes, I *could* have "saved" her.....$6K for a horse that I couldn't ride, couldn't breed, and that *might* not even survive the surgery. I just....couldn't do it.) - I hope she pulls thru with no/little damage. I *hope* she’s OK.

That... doesn't seem right. And he's also the one pushing for the very expensive surgeries? Am I the only one having little red flags popping up all over this?

I'm glad she survived the surgery - and I'll add her to my goat prayers. Can you get her to drink flavored water? I know it's not normal, but maybe Kool-aid would tempt her to drink?
