Just in the door after having DS at doctors. He has been unwell for three weeks with a lingering virus. This is the second visit in a week as he hasn’t improved. Sister remarks you were at the doctors again and doesn’t ask anything about DS except to say she thinks he looks well! He is pale, lost weight and just yesterday had a nose bleed in school.
I felt I had to defend being proactive about my son’s health. What is the problem?

The problem is you care too much about what your sister thinks? Sod her. You don't have to explain yourself to anyone.

She sounds unsupportive. Absolutely stupid remark. You're just looking after your child and have done correct thing. I hope he gets well soon and go back to the Dr if you feel you need to.

And in the next breath, she says are you still hosting the Halloween party at the weekend… 😂😂

Ignore her. Your son comes first - tell her due to the fact he’s obviously not well SHE can host the party. What a selfish mare!

hope your son feels better soon x

Thanks - it’s just sometimes I feel like she thinks she can say and judge me and there’s no recourse. When she spilt from her partner, I gave her my full support and never wavered from standing beside her. She on the other hand, responded to my DH cheating on me by saying maybe I didn’t do enough as a couple and in the end he had said he felt closer to her than to me. 🙈

And you still maintain contact with her because? 🤷‍♀️ You’d get better support from a pair of uncomfortable shoes. Hope your DS is better soon.
