Just want to vent
i get so frustrated with people who've only had singletons & i'm not afraid to admit that anymore. i think i hit my breaking point over the weekend of may 8. on may 9, we went to my friend's daughter's second birthday party. it's an hour drive for me but i really wanted to take the boys (1 year old) so we went! when we got there, she told us her son (4), spiked a fever prior to the party. this was a little frustrating because i'm not sure why she wouldn't have told us. i absolutely wouldn't have come if i knew a fever was spiked. i guess she had him quarantined in his room but then brought him out to the party for 30 minutes. she didn't tell me about the fever until our sons were playing. once she told me about his fever, we immediately left (irdc how crazy that sounds). i just don't want my kids getting sick, they JUST got over having the cold & that's hard enough. well behold, my twin b gets a rash all over his body, also spikes a fever & nonstop cried for 5 days until i took him to his ped. & then after twin b was on day 3 of this nonsense, twin a is on the nonsense so how i have 2 babies that are crying all day long & we're all miserable. i talked to another friend who was at the party & she mentioned to me that our other friends son spiked the fever at 3pm & my family & i didn't get there until 4:30pm & was told about the fever at 5:30. i was so pissed. like i don't have one kid to worry about i have TWO. who are still fairly young so whatever your 4 year old had, you/him could handle it way better than my two 1-year-olds who were JUST sick a week prior. & then i told her about it & she said "well i just didn't want nobody to show up for her birthday." WHAT??????? that's bizarre to me! there were NEWBORNS at this party. it was so negligent, it's crazy. i've honestly considered cutting this person out of my life because there was ZERO respect for anyone but themselves.
please give me your insight on this!
