Sick Again!!!

[shortbun]

I told my girlfriend I'd watch her VERY active 6yo son while she got her hair done last week during a 'snow day.' She dropped him off with a hugely drippy cold, the inability to blow his own nose and wild energy. He touched every single thing in my house. I followed him around with lysol and wipes, washed my hands about every five minutes and stripped and showered as soon as he left. Still, I got his cold. I'm miserable and I will probably never volunteer to take care of him again as she obviously doesn't have the sense not to expose other people to her sick child. Had the shoe been on the other foot, I'd have declined saying my child was sick. When they walked through the door, I immediately noticed and said, 'whoa, he's sick!' She kind of whined and said, 'yeah, he just started getting it yesterday.' This child is alreay in my house, he's hugging my 13yo son who he adores and I'm stuck!!! cough, sniffle, achooo!!

I hate people who do this. I had a friend bring her kids who were sick with the flu to my home 3 days before I was to have my scheduled C-section. My whole family got the flu while I was at the hospital and couldn't visit with us. When we got home both he and I got it and it messed up my nursing him. I still resent her for that. Ugh.

What an unthoughtful friend. I would still resent it to. Sorry that happened to you.

I hope you feel better soon, Shortbun! I'm sorry that happened to you!

I would've said something about not being able to watch him since he was evidently pretty sick. I guess it's the teacher in me but I have no fear of speaking my mind when it comes to sick kids.

Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks for the support guys! RNMom, that's awful!!
I think my friend had been cooped up with her son for several days and was excited to get her hair done.

I spent almost all day in bed Saturday and plan to do the same today. I'd rather be with my Mother who just got a very bad cancer diagnosis but I would never expose her to this. I think that's why I'm extra p.o.'d. I really want to be with my Mom!!

I'm so very sorry about your Mom's diagnosis. No wonder you're upset about the bad cold.
