She is the most miserable sour old cow I know right this very minute. She doesnt want to visit us until DS chicken pox have all dried up in case she gets shingles. Despite me telling her my GP has reassured me DS will not be contagious 7 days after the intial outbreak of spots. She spoke to me like I was dirt on her shoe and the rest of her family may tolerate it but I will not!
She did'nt even ask how DS (which is just 17 weeks old) is coping, or even seem moved that he has them in his eyes etc - she just said it's part of childhood. Despite the fact my GP said he had never seen them in a baby so young and what a bad outbreak it was.
My poor little man is covered in calamine and dosed up as much as possible with medised to sooth the itching, he looks just awful - although always has a smile for his mummy.
And my DD is desperate to see her GP's and all this old cow can think about is herself. She seems to think she is the only person in the world who has shingles. She's not happy unless she is ill and getting attention from everyone. I have totally had it. I am not inviting her here again and I will not be stepping foot in her house again. If we go there DH will have to take the GC's to her himself I will not have my children passed over and I will not be spoken to like dirt.
My DC's are not looked upon very favourably by her and I am sick of it. She has 4 DG's and she should treat them all the same. But no if my DD does something good it's because she is older than the others. If she does something bad the others never do it.
DH and I are almost arguing over it as her poisonous ways seem to be geting to other people in his to the point where FIL has snapped at his own DD a couple of times. Ohhhhhhhhh
Sorry rant over.
