Article: Never fake a closeness with your in-laws that isn't really there. It's perfectly acceptable to be polite to your in-laws without making anything more of the relationship. Don't get in the habit of referring to your mother-in-law as "mom" or "mother." She is your spouse's mother, but not yours. Only engage in physical touch you're comfortable with. There's no need for a long, drawn-out hug with someone you feel uncomfortable around. Many people find themselves becoming quiet or shy around abusive mothers-in-law. However, this can fuel the abusive behavior. If your mother-in-law does or says something hurtful, stand up for yourself or your spouse. If you have children, make sure your mother-in-law knows and follows your parenting rules. If she refuses, remind her that you are their mother. You can say something like, "I know you have had plenty of experience parenting. However, we do things differently in our house, and I need you to respect that if you're going to spend time with my children." If she says something degrading or hurtful to you, you can say, "I don't appreciate being spoken to that way. Please stop." This is something you should have already discussed with your spouse. Your spouse may opt to spend more time with your mother-in-law than you are willing to spend. Your mother-in-law may ask why you haven't been joining, or may be happy to have some time alone with her child. You can let your mother-in-law know in advance that you'll be spending less time with her. She may ask why. It is up to you and your spouse if you want to be fully honest with her. It may be possible to cut down the time you spend with her without having to talk to her about it. If your mother-in-law has already expressed strong disapproval of you and your family, she's unlikely to change her mind. Remember that you don't need her approval. It can be empowering to say this out loud to your mother-in-law. For example, if she tells you that your home is too small and cluttered, you can simply say, "We're very happy here, actually. You might not approve of our home, but it's great for our needs." If your mother-in-law was or continues to be severely abusive, you may need to cut her out of your family's life altogether. Even if she is no longer abusive, having her around may still be triggering for your spouse or for you. If your mother-in-law was physically or sexually abusive to your spouse growing up, it may be impossible to repair the relationship. Your spouse can let you know how much they're interested in trying to salvage the relationship. A family therapist can help heal past wounds if the trauma from the abuse is severe. If your mother-in-law is physically abusive to your spouse or anyone in your family, you may need to contact law enforcement. If you suspect or know of any sexual abuse, you need to contact the police immediately.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Be honest about the relationship. Assert yourself. Place limits on the time you will spend with her. Accept disapproval. Set boundaries appropriate to the situation.

Problem: Article: If the puppies in a litter have fleas, then it's almost certain that the mother will have them too. As a result, it will be necessary to treat the mother in order to avoid reinfecting the puppies. Keep in mind that if there are any other animals in the house that have come in contact with the mother dog or puppies, they will need to be treated for fleas also. Although anti-flea products can be used on the mother, it is important to be careful about the products you choose. If the mother is still providing milk for her puppies, certain chemicals can be passed onto the puppies through the milk, which could make them sick. Therefore, it is essential that you only use prescription products designed for use in lactating mothers. Some store bought products may be marked as "natural" or "drug free", but this does not mean that they are safe for very young puppies. And even if they don't cause any negative side-effects, natural or herbal products are unlikely to be effective in getting rid of fleas. Prescription medications that contain an ingredient called selamectin (such as Revolution and Stronghold) are licensed as being safe for use in pregnant and lactating mothers. The medication should be applied to the adult dog's skin, according to the manufacturers' instructions, and allowed to dry for several hours before the puppies are allowed to come in contact with the mother. Selamectin-based medications should only be given in the recommended dosages, and should only be administered topically. When given orally, selamectin was shown to cause foetal abnormalities in rats. There are several ingredients used commonly in anti-flea medications that should never be given to pregnant or lactating dogs. Therefore, it's important to read the label very careful or consult with your dog's vet to avoid using products containing these ingredients. An ingredient called fipronil (which is found in an anti-flea product called Frontline) should never be used on pregnant or lactating mothers, as it has not been proven safe for puppies. An ingredient called spinosad (which is used in an oral flea treatment call Comfortis) has been shown to be excreted in the mother's milk. As it is uncertain whether spinosad causes negative side effects in puppies, you should avoid using this product to treat the mother.
Summary: Understand why it is necessary to treat the mother. Only use prescription products, avoid over-the-counter or "natural" medications. Use selamectin-based medications on pregnant and lactating mothers. Avoid using medications containing fipronil and spinosad, as these are unsafe for lactating mothers.

If you want to make up a simple sleeve to keep a CD in that you can design by hand, all you need is a piece of paper, some glue, and some good folding. It's easy, if you've got a ruler or a CD for a guide. All you've got to do is: Fold a sheet of US letter-sized, or A4 sized paper horizontally, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 cm) overlap. Fold in both sides approximately 1.75 inches (4.5 cm) inward. Open the paper flat and re-fold the two vertical side strips, then slide the CD into the pocket of the longer side, beneath the vertical side strips. Refold over the horizontal and fold in the 1-inch (2.5 cm) overlap to complete the square. Tuck the overlap into the remaining pocket and press flat. After you create the pocket, it's a good idea to secure it to make sure the CD will stay up and won't fall apart when you give it away to someone. Good options are usually staples, glue, or even just tape. Use the same method described in the previous section, using old pictures or drawings to decorate the outside of the CD case as normal. It's usually a good idea to remove the CD from the sleeve while you're doing this, so you don't have to worry about messing it up with glue or ink. One cool idea is actually designing the paper before you fold it, making the image wrap around the outside of the case. It can make the case look unique, if you don't know where the folds are going to be in each one. One little hack for securing your DIY CD cases is to take the pages from one of those old CD books people used to carry around in their cars, pre-iPods, and carefully cut the pockets out to use for security. You can even use these and just slip CD-sized track lists into the same pocket for a quick alternative.
