AIBU to think the only way is up now?

[TheSassyAssassin]

I hit a new low around 12hrs ago. A serious FML moment if you will. Please tell me that IANBU in thinking this is the worst and from now on things will be better?

DD9 been waking in the night. Like having a newborn again. Shattered. Mentioned it to another parent who said it could be threadworms as her DC had had them recently and had been waking in the night. I pulled this face Not had this delight to deal with before...

....so at 4am I find myself, torch in hand, seeing if I could spot the little buggers (couldn't though that doesn't mean they aren't there). Whilst doing that I was farted on!

Once upon a time 4am wakings meant a bit of chandelier-swinging not bloody worm-hunting! How the feck did it come to this? Please tell me this is the lowest point of parenting? It can't get worse....can it?

I'm saying nothing...

Nah, to be fair, that probably is the low point. Although when a teen vomits the volume is impressive, so that may still be in your future...

Is she having any other symptoms like itching / uncomfortableness? When checking with torch try dabbing area with some sellotape..if they are there they'll stick to the tape !!! Ugh ! Over the counter medicine worked a treat with my kids.

So now torch and sellotape...oh god....a new low point in about another 12hrs then! No. Not itching as far as I know... might deworm us both anyway to rule it out and burn the house

Are you dead sassy? 👻

Let's face it, if DD takes after you with the killer farts then..........

Crikey. Hadn't considered that possibility....would I still need a deworming pill? Farts were pretty grim! Please tell me I have reached Peak Parent now? But....teenage vomit....oh god.....
