my husband does not see the point in moving out of that area. i constantly tell him that the kids, especially the baby, are always sick, but he thinks it's because of the seasons. how do i get through to him so we can move out?

Show him some of the information on these sites. If you cannot move, take other steps, such as dietary improvements to combat the harm.

What is it that makes you think it is the area that is making your children sick? Are there factories/plants nearby that could be polluting the water? Is it an area that has notoriously high air pollution? Use these points when making your case to your husband.
Talk to a doctor about your concerns. Don't be afraid to take your own house keeping into close inspection. Germs are easier to transmit than people often think. Also if your kids are in daycare, this will increase their risks of getting sick quite a bit.
Whatever ends up being the course of action, good luck

Well it depends on what kind of sick they are. Kids from birth to age five get sick a lot especially if they have allergies, also they are trying to build their immune systems at that age. My son just now stopped being sick all the time. He will turn seven this month. The doctor told me what I just told you. If you are concerned about trees and pollin you will find one kind or another just about any place. If you are talking about smog, well then you just need to keep talking to him and have the doctor say yes that is what it is, but it sounds to me like he is not going to budge no matter what you do.

shelter your self! that's relatively hassle-free to ignore your guy or woman well-being once you have a new child and a hectic existence. First verify to get 7-8 hours of excellent sturdy sleep each and every nighttime. 2d, consume 3 nutrious foodstuff on a daily basis (an excellent sort of vegetables, culmination). Take a multi-diet too. 0.33, get some form of tangible exertion a minimum of three times a week. it is normally purely a 0.5-hour brisk walk at lunchtime or purchase an exercising video and purely dance around the lounge with your new child. final, schedule a spectacular relaxing trip a minimum of one time a year. that's significant to get faraway from each and every thing and purely spend a week doing no longer something yet sitting on coastline or trekking interior the mountains. in spite of you could arise with the money for, purely attempt and escape as quickly as in awhile.

You should have concrete evidence and sit down with him to explain why you beleive it is the area. For example if you think the air quality is poor get printouts of local pollution levels to show him. Maybe if you can explain more in depth he will at least try to understand your concerns. You may also want to speak to your pediatrition and get his opinion and present that to your husband. Best of luck to you and I hope your children feel better.

I think, as a mum you should totally trust your gut instincts. It may help with your hubby if u go and get a proffessional to back you up, e.g a doctor to say that they would have normal immune systems if u wernt living there (or something similar).
Im a strong believer that we feel strongly about something (even when it doesnt make sense) for a good reason so please do what you feel you need to.
hope this helps and good luck.

No do not move it will make it more stressful on yourself and your husband. You should let their immune still systems adapt to the area. You should also go in for a check up, and check for all the shots that are and aren't mandatory for their age.

I would try vitamins first. They are still building up their immune systems and it might not be where you are living that is causing the problem. My son had sinus infections, pink eye, colds, etc until he turned two. Now, he's only been sick once since he turned two.

ok...reason with him...take something away from him that he really loves(hint hint)* and try and get a specialist on your side some one that sound like a professional to explain that the reason your children are sick is beacuse of the enviorment....although you may have tried this already go on the offensive cslling him incosiderate..and lastly if it comes to this tell him hes to cheap to move
