Ok, I know this probably sounds really stupid but I was reading a thread on here earlier and someone's comment prompted me to ask..is it possible to change your health visitor?
I know it sounds like a really stupid question but I had honestly never considered that I could do this, I just assumed you had the one you were given and if you didn't like them then..tough!
It's just that our HV is horrible and I have never liked her, so if it is possible to do this I would very much like to!
Her greatest hits include:
Telling us our 11 month old baby was 'obese'
Asking DH if he 'felt like less of a man because he isn't at work' (*DH is a carer for our son)
Telling us she thought the fact that DH was our sons' primary carer was 'an issue'
Constantly mentioning DH's previous mental health issues (even though I have previous mental issues too that were not mentioned even once)
There are more examples I could give but the cherry on top was that recently she turned up at our house for a visit (unannounced) and when she didn't get a response from knocking on the door, she automatically assumed that the DS's had been left alone and called the police.
AIBU to think we need a different HV or am I just being oversensitive?
