I came home last weekend and my step kids were staying. I spotted antibiotics on the kitchen table, I asked who they were for and the kids said they were for their younger brother ( their mum's latest child from a new relationship ) but she was giving them to her older boy as he has a cough. I refused to give him them as they are not prescribed to him and checked the label clearly said his brothers name. I messaged their mum to say that I was reluctant to give medication that's not prescribed to the child and that not taking antibiotics as prescribed by the doctor is potentially dangerous. I had a horrible reply telling me I was nothing to the kids, stay out of it etc. I should have not reacted but did and got cross saying if I was nothing to the kids then I would not bother to nit comb them anymore but can she please do it as I am sick of them bringing headlice round here. Next thing she is at my door demanding that I wake the kids up and she took them home. I'm now banned from seeing them. My partner is lovely but won't say anything to her.Plus he works 5 night shifts and has his kids weekends so I won't see him now. :(
