Here I was thinking that I would never be able to blog again. With so much to say and not knowing how to say it. Or not wanting to offend people or bring people down.

Little did I know all I needed was a bee in my bonnet.

So what the hell is with other parents thinking it is OK to let their sick child play with my healthy child when the situation could have been avoided with a simple phone call. I’m sorry, but my child has green snot running from head to toe and we wont be able to make it tonight”

How easy is that? What is it with some parents? I once took Jaxon to the park with friends and this  mother comes along on her mobile phone and throws her 10 year old daughter and 3 year old son in the kiddie play pen so she could just stop watching.  Stop watching as her daughter kept knocking my 18 month old son off the slide…all the while snotting green goo all over the place. Not once did that mother have a close look. Not once did she bother to make sure they were playing nicely. Not once did she offer a tissue to her grotty daughter. She didn’t even enter the play pen.

Jaxon’s having a bad night. The second now. He can’t breath and that means he can’t sleep and THAT means I can’t sleep. And all because some idiot woman didn’t want to miss a few burnt sausages and drinks at a BBQ.

I know. I can’t keep him wrapped in cotton. But you know what? I don’t. With all the stunts he pulls Tim and I stopped trying to stop him hurting himself months ago. We figure he’ll learn eventually. We don’t know when…but hope it’s soon.

He’s been exposed. He has play dates. He goes to the EDC with other kids. Kids that are more prone to getting sick because most of them have bigger problems than a running nose to worry about.

But I just don’t understand how hard it would be to just keep that green snot at home. Like it was totally necessary for you to pass on your misery to me…without giving me a choice. Asshole.
