I know I've been posting a lot on here recently, its just because I have got chicken pox, and have been bedridden for the past few days.
I have been really upset for the past 2 days or so, as I have had a huge number of very ugly and huge spots on my face (worse on my body, but that's covered up). However, the worst upset is that my 18 month old will not come near me, even if I ask to cuddle her. She looks at my face and shakes her head and says 'no, no' while backing away into DH's or my mom's arms. I've tried everything to get her near me, no go. She says 'mama boo boo' and is all nice but from a distance. She came for a quick cuddle the other day, but couldn't wait to get away... and refused to come close enough for a kiss.
I am very very hurt, I won't show it to her, of course, but still hurt... and considering I got the blasted pox from her too! How am I going to teach her that all people are not always perfect, if this is how she behaves when she sees just a face covered in spots?
AIBU??? Please help!!
