I (childfree in my 30’s) was at my moms over the weekend to do something for her birthday and I have my (12 year old) niece calling and texting asking me to come pick her up. She would have no idea I was in area for the weekend if my sister hadn’t told her. Eventually my sister drops her off.
My niece is blowing her nose almost constantly saying she has “allergies“ then she later admits she had a strep test done. So obviously they felt she was sick if they took her to a doctor for a strep test! Her mom then picks her up early because “her allergies are so bad.”
Well guess who has been sick all week so far? It wasn’t allergies, it was a URI and now I have the joy of dealing with it. I’m extra pissed because I work with medically fragile children. Thanks Sis for the unnecessary exposure to your child’s illness!
