do you automatically reach for the paracetamol when your older kids have a headache??

Im talking 12 years plus

My friends DD is staying with us for a few days and when my friend dropped her off I saw her giving DD a paracetamol (500mg ones)
which imo are quite strong.

She ogt up this mornign and first thing she asked for was a paracetamol as she had a headache....i asked her to give it half an hour and have a big glass of water and just lie quiet. Didnt give her paracetamol...however now she says the headache is still there and could she have one..She has been ratehr quiet this morning but not hot or any other symptoms of anything.

I just dont like dishing out paracetamol too quickly.

I suggest you get a grip, tbh.

YOU posted an OP and asked a question, soliciting for opinions.

Don't like what all you hear?

Not my lookout.

i need to get a grip??....if your opinion is it isnt crack so let her have paracetamol whenever she says she has a headache then thats fine...wind your neck in expat and find some one else to bug....if you cant be constructive then dont bother, and no constructive doesnt have to be agreement, im up for a debate, it was you who came here with the poor comments...it seems you dont like people to respond to you when they disagree.

I agree it isnt your look out. You cant be clever with words so dont bother.

Whatever, stoppin. Seriously, why bother starting a thread online if it's going to get you so het up?

stoppinattwo · 26/05/2008 22:32

I tinhk it was you gettin het up as you put it, I usually respect your opinion expat but youve surprised me with your comments.

Why bother posting if you cant be constructive? why put someones question down with some sarcastic little quip.

It takes a bigger person to be helpful, anyone can be sarcastic

You weren't looking for help, stoppin.

You were asking a question and for opinions and I responded in a way no different from a thousand other times.

How you took it, you took it.

I'm off now because this is getting old.
