(rant)i Hate My person of a Brother

Well.. I dont know where to start.. I've
told you along time ago how my brother
eric has anger issues and yells at me all
the time.. And he's also very stupid..
Heres what happens today..
I moved my cats litter box a couple weeks
ago because I heard that the fumes from a
litterbox can make your baby be deff or
blind or even die. So I moved it into the
back room from my room.. When ever we
went out we use to lock the cat in my room
because he loves to get into things and
try to eat the birds..
Well today when I got home from shawns
place I get in and I notice that the dog
greets me but not the cat.. And we let
the cat roam now so it was weird.. I go
to head to the bathroom and I notice my
doors closed and theres a board against
it. So I know my cats locked up.. And I
know he was locked up since 4 cause thats
when my brother went to work. And it was
now 11.. And I assume a cat would take a
crap between 4-11 and sure enough I open
my door to a big woof of cat crap.. Im
not blaming wewu for crapping cause it
wasnt his fault for going in the wrong
spot. Its erics and I had to move the cat
crap because nobody else in my family
will. Shawn said he would clean the
litterbox and he hasnt done it and its
full and u can smell it in the hall so im
probably gonna have to do it too.. Im
getting so fed up with it because I dont
want to loose my baby over my brothers
!@#$ing retardedness and shawns
laxyness.
Sorry for this being so big im just pissed
right off.. And if I say anything to eric
he'll just tell me that its a big lie a
bout the litterbox thing and that im a
person for beliving it and then i'll say
no it isnt and I rather listen to it
rather then having a messed up baby cause
your a health question. And then he'll
smack me and call me stupid

I'd get rid of the cat, because to me its
not worth the risk of harming the baby,
plus they leave so much hair everywhere,
and thats not good for kids to be
around...Doesnt it cause asthma sometimes?
Think I read that somewhere, not too
sure, aint very hygienic though if you
have a baby especially. Im not a cat
person lol

Actually its fine to be near a litter box
ur just not supposed to clean when
pregnant unless your wearing a mask due to
the fact you can get toxoplasmosis
(spelling?) anyways if you have had cats
since a young age you probally already had
it!!
When they do your 4 month blood work you
can actually request that they test you
for toxoplasmosis if you have the
antibodies then no worries if you dont
then put a mask on when cleaning kitty
litter~!!

Im allergic to cats but your body becomes
immune to them after awhile so your
allergies stop buothering now I wouldnt
recommending facing your allergies dead on
with (food allergies.)
you dont have to get rid of her just
becarful after you have the baby, my cat
got jealous and kept trying to jump in the
crib and they can smother the baby so when
they say keep on eye on the baby it really
does apply!

My cousin said it isn't even safe to pet
your cats while you're pregnant.. what?
I've never heard that.
But my sisters &boyfriend are nice
&take care of the litter for me. I
couldn't live without my kitties.

W/e cats arent harmful to you if youve had
cats before because you have most likely
contracted that tox thing and there is
nothing you can do about it now. Ask your
doc he/shell tell ya.I had cats with macy
and liam and they are both fine as well as
my mom had cats with all three of us and
my grandma let her cat sleep with all six
of her kids and we are all just fine

My mom had cats with us, but they were all
outdoor cats but we're fine.. I cant see
petting a cat making u sick.. Plus wewu
dosnt go on counters or things like that

But I will talk to my doctor tomorrow
cause I have an appointment and I will let
you guys know what I find out incase any
of u are interested

The risk is very low if you take proper
precautions.
Wear gloves/mask when changing the litter
box.
Keep your pets vaccines, flea treaments
and worming up to date.
Keep the litter box clean (don't let it
build up).
Wash your hands after handling your pet.
Wash your hands before eating.
Wash all food prep areas before use (and
after).
You are more likely to get toxoplasmosis
from dogs than cats.
If you have had a dog/cat for any length
of time chances are you already had
toxoplasmosis anyway.
You can have a blood test done to check
for toxoplasmosis anti-bodies but this is
only worthwhile if you had a check done
before you got pregnant, as it only shows
you have the antibodies not when you got
toxoplasmosis.
If you follow basic hygiene rules the
chances of getting it are so low. It's a
bit like saying don't go out in the street
in case you get hit by a car.

Thats just normal hygiene washing your
hands /food prepping areas (love ur post
kia...
Anyways dont be worried I view animals as
being part of a family, like I said
originally dont be too worried its nothing
big if you take precautionary steps!! I
still have my cat but she knows better
than to jump in the crib if she does I
throw her outside...

Yeah I went to the doctors today but the
doctor was trying to get the appointment
over so I didn end up asking because he
kept walking away.. I also was going to
ask if I could go to a diff hospital so I
could find out if its a boy or girl but
nooooo.. He kept leaving.. And I asked
my due date and he didnt tell me he just
said "uhm.. Early november" then when he
gave me the sheet for my blood work it
said my due date is november 5th.. Grr

Awww - go and get a second opinion - well
they call it that even if there's nothing
to be opinionated about (hope that made
sense) -
maybe he/she had a lot on his/her plate...
But yeah definitely ask to find out the
sex if you want to - the only way they
cannot tell you is if they have an
emergency to attned to or if they can't
find it. Other than that they pretty much
have to answer all your questions -
including ones about the baby's gender.
It was your time, she shouldnt have rushed
you - you could have stalled saying
something really important. Go to another
doctor.

Yeah.. My doctor told me he wont tell us
what it is because some religions abort
their baby if its a girl and some people
abort the baby if it isnt the sex they
want.. Which is really cruel I think..
But yeah I want to know.. Im going to
talk to my friend tiff and ask her if her
sister found out what shes having or if
shes even allowed to

not religions, cultures. Look up china's
one-child policy and the fall-out from
placing greater 'value' on male children.
Warning- it's not pretty.
Who the hell is your doctor to refuse to
tell you the sex of the baby? How far
along are you?

Yeah that happens here too, when I was
carrying my children, my doctor said he
wasnt allowed to tell me the sex
either...It sucks!
We could have found out at a hospital
about 20miles away but they were charging
£200 for it and at the time we didnt have
the spare money
