MIL asked me to buy something from Boots a while ago and it's saved her address.

I think DC have worms so I ordered Ovex. I can't even begin to explain how much I cannot get into this with her.

Is she going to be able to see what I've ordered? Boots won't let me cancel or amend Angry

Some of boots orders get sent vis Hermes so you'll get a tracking number, could you intercept the driver at the front door Grin

It could have been a heck of a lot worse let's face it - mega pack of condoms, lubricant, haemerrhoid cream, pregnancy test.....

Oh bless you OP, I still get Ovex and Hedrin as blooming Amazon recommendations - whenever that pops up DH always jokes oh so helpfully about better change your Facebook status to wormy or Whatsapp status to nitty. The joys of motherhood indeed.

Why would she make a fuss

Oh come on! She's a MIL. You must have read enough horror stories on here! It will be the daughter in law's fault that the child has worms "We didn;t have them in our day. We were clean" Yeah right!

Yes I know not every MIL is a horror story but just saying.

I can hear the words. 'Do you get worms on your side of the family?'
'Do you not wash?'

Yes, these MILs exist. Unfortunately.

Let's hope she doesn't ask - but we know she will.... or "I asked Jane what it would be"...

I also hate when yu get something ordered and it advertises it all over the box. My parcel was not delivered to me although I was in. It went to another flat and I had to ask each flat as they hadn't put what neighbour it was.

Proudly written all over the box was the fact that I had ordered medium sized incontinence pants. So I guess the neighbour knows that now.

Just as embarrasing as when someone at the airport (customs)looked through all my stuff and with a puzzled frown asked if I had a baby with me. Nope they were my incontinence pants thank you. Oh the glamour!

Ah, it’s a few little worms. What’s she gonna turn round and say? Damn you and your worms and lice... that all children get at some point. Ignore and hold head up high.
PS I’m a paediatric nurse and my kids have had both! That’s what kids do!
