This is rant post.. I just needed to vent somewhere.The past week I’ve been dealing with a very bad cold, that turned into bronchitis. I caught the cold from my daughter, and a few days later she developed pink eye. It was a viral version, so you just gotta let it run its course.I was super mom this week! I did so much laundry, disinfecting, cleaning all while tackling a toddler that turns into a demon being burned by holy water when I put in her eye drops, and maintaining my usual schedule. I had everyone’s own towel to use, I was determined not to spread this pinkeye within the household.BAM, I wake up a few nights ago with my eyes crusted over. Okay, no big deal, I think I’d rather have pink eye than the stomach flu. BAM, I get a stomach flu for a day, I can’t keep anything down. This all happens while I have had a cold, but I’m mommying-it-out. Gotta keep going. I’ve had no rest, I was coughing, puking, running a fever and could not sleep. I exposed a blood vessel in my nose that keeps bleeding, my ears are clogged. I go to the clinic and find out I have bronchitis. I am sleep deprived, my chest hurts, I’m rubbing a fever. My husband already took off 3 days of the week to help, but then actually got sick too. So I was taking care of baby and hubby who were both sick, and not letting myself rest with all of what I got going on.The day I go to the doctor (yesterday), I asked my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law to watch my daughter for a few hours. My daughter woke up with no symptoms of pink eye, I was ecstatic. No eye drops, no cleaning discharge, her eyes were white and bright as ever. She had the slightest runny nose, and that was about it. My MIL lives 2 blocks from me, and in almost the two years my daughter has lived, I can count on two hands all the times my MIL has babysitted. I never ask for her help, she’s a busy woman who’s very social, she’s got her own life, and we’ve had our rough patches. Lately, it’s been great between us!When my MIL drops off my daughter, my daughter has gunk all over her eyes. I panicked and I apologized so much, I told her I though the infection was gone. She said no worries, she was an angel, etc. my MIL even made me a Shepard’s pie for dinner.This morning she texted me, very snarky and pissed, I know for good reason, but she told me she and my SIL have pink eye. Great. I never would have dropped my daughter off if I thought the pink eye was still there. I have a knot in my stomach, and I’m so embarrassed. I feel like my MIL has a point system for whether she likes me or not and I just got negative points for giving her pink eye. I have apologized profusely and she just said “okay.”I’m dying here, emotionally and physically, haha.Tl;dr: Was completely sick, asked MIL(who barely babysits and I have a weird relationship with) to take care of daughter whose pink eye symptoms appeared gone, for her to text me this morning she and my SIL have pink eye, and she’s pissed. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2CzGIJO
