AIBU to think that DH's XP should have consulted us or at least him in whether or not his DD has the HPV vaccine.....

.....she didn't.....she has IMO, a pretty laissez faire parenting style at the best of times {i'm being polite there people...} and has made this decision to let DSD have the jab without even metioning it to us or apparently questioning it herself.....DH and I are dead against this jab for my DD {who lives with us} and DH would have really liked the opportunity to have a say in this decision as feels the jab is just an unproven risk not worth taking at the moment and would have suggested waiting a couple of years to see how the side effects and statistics are bourne out by other peoples experience....

anyhoo....we only find out today she had the jab last week as i had seen a status update of hers on FB saying that she has passed out again at school. Apparently she has been passing out with dizziness and headaches since the day she had it intermittently and after googling it again apparently fainting is a side effect that can be pretty nasty and can last ages....DH's XP hadn't made the link between these faints and the jab so hasn't even taken her to docs yet.....AAAARRRGGGHH. ooh i am very cross you know....

thanks peoples....i can see that my OP does read as BU in some ways. DH is going to speak to his XP and see if she can be a bit more mindful of his wish to contribute to decisions regarding his DD...hopefully the fainting will stop and normal service can resume....

now, where did i leave that poisoned apple....

Only read OP, but YABU.
Now't to do with you.
In the same way that your decision for your child would be very little to do with her stepfather.
Sorry.

signing in again, sorry, I am off to do a thread in site stuff to ask for a solution - keep your fingers crossed for me!

BB, I am sure I could get the number for a woodsman for you if that would help?
