I am in late pregnancy and have a young child who is 16m.
Thanks to mil both of us have been ill since early december. - what was a bad cold and chesty cough for mil turned into something far more serious for me and lo as we have no immunity given that he is a baby and i am pregnant - chest, throat and ear infections that we couldnt shift and ended up with both of us on several sets of antibiotics and ill for several months...also, aside from antibiotics its a case of only being able to have paracetamol to help with the nasty symptoms. My lo stopped sleeping as he was too poorly and so did i which made it all 100x worse as i am a stay at home mom who has no help with lo.
Mil always turns up here when she is obviously ill and then pretends not to be, because she obviously knows she is shouldnt. My oh thinks iabu but im sick of it.
Why cant people keep their germs to themselves rather than deliberately putting themselves around vulverable people and pretending they arent ill whilst coughing their guts up over everyone amd passing their germs on.
I know i sound ranty but tbh its not mil who is pregnant and cant take meds when ill...nor is it mil who has to stay awake all night for weeks (in this case months) on end when lo is poorly....not to mention that it is not her who is left looking after a grumpy, ill child whilst also ill, pregnant and sleep deprived!
So, she turned up for a few hours this morning unannounced...and after she left she called oh for help with some stuff today as she has a really bad tummy bug and has had it really bad since yesterday! (But still came here today, was all over my lo and once again pretended not to be ill!).
Am i losing my shit for no reason or is it fair for me to be pissed off that she keeps turning up ill (knowingly and hiding it from us) and making us ill too all the time? My oh has now got a bad tummy...
Im genuinely concerned about this bug as im worried it could send me into preterm labour if i get it.
How can anyone be so selfish?!
