Chicken pox getting me down

[TheMadHouse]

DS1 had the dreaded pox three weeks ago, which meant a week inside with two preschoolers, groucy 3.3 year old, bathing with the oats and bicarbe etc.

DS2 got it on Tuesday and still hasnt scabbed, so we are in again and he is still getting spots.

I am shattered, seem to get off to sleep and then he is crying again.

Piriton is a no no, as he is going hyper on it and his spots are really sore and on his bum and penis.

I am sick of everyone telling me it is good to get them over and done with together. If they want to feel that this then fine, I wants a good nmights sleep and a day without a toddler clinging to me, even when I go to the loo.

I know that people have it tougher, but it is 2.15 on Sunday morning grrrrrrrrrrr

Oh poor you. I think my dd has it - a few spots at the mo so not sure. I can sympathise as my ds had it within two of each other so I couldn't even get out in-between the two. My parents would not come anywhere near us either as they were convinced they would get shingles. It was awful..... Just think it does end and you won't have to go through this again

that would be "my ds's had it within two weeks..."
