Parents with sick kids

NO, YOUR SICK KID IS NOT CUTE. Telling him to STOP COUGHING will NOT prevent him from getting me sick or will it stop the cough.


Not cool!

Just to recap, sick kids are not cute in no way shape or farm. Telling someone to not be sick DOES NOT ACTUALLY MAKE THE PERSON NOT SICK.



Now, talk among yourselves.

Terribly insulting for anyone here who has had a seriously ill child, perhaps even one who died from an illness.

I'm offended.

Come on, you know what he meant: a cold, the sniffles, etc. Cancer, metabolic/genetic disorders, diabetes, etc... he's not making fun of that. Just sneezing, which is rarely anything serious.

I taught my kid (1 1/2 yrs) to cover his mouth and nose when he coughs/sneezes...but man..he got me so sick last week. I had to got to the emergency room cause I started throwing up blood. The doc told me it was normal if you throw up a bunch..something about tears in the stomach....who knows....but yeah.....

Is there anything that is non-offensive anymore?

I am offended by your offense. You should get infraction points for treading so callously upon my delicate sensibilities.

I'm going to give out infraction points like the plague if you guys don't stop complaining.



EDIT: not my forum. Crap.

But seriously, people need to learn to cover their damn mouth! My brother is 25 and got me sick last week because he's not terribly bright and didn't master this technique.

I've given up all hope of staying well. With 3 kids all hacking at the same time, I'm doomed.
I've taught them the "cough into the crook of your elbow" trick, it's supposed to be more effective then covering your mouth with a hand... doesn't work. The sheer volume of germs being launched around overwhelms any preventative measures.

It's not only about covering your mouth when coughing. It's also about for instance cleaning your hands often and to avoid touching things you don't need to touch.

Not very hard things to teach also kids old enough to understand what you say.

I just have one -- but she is in daycare -- and it's a lost cause.

Last fall I asked my doctor what I could do to keep from getting my kid sick when I'm not feeling well and she gave me a list of simple things to do (washing hands etc.). When I asked her what I could do to keep my kid from getting me sick . . . she LAUGHED at me.

Talking about common cold and kids coughing.... stuff that is contagious...

On upper side of things, teraflu is very very good... I love the way it taste...

My friend went to class with strep throat today. Then proceeded to sit next to me.

She's fully aware that I'm also on immunosuppressants.

Some people just don't understand.
