Best laid plans of mice and men……..

MY GD age 5 has a really bad dose of chickenpox. Over everypart of her body Including her face. They are everywhere. She is well apart from spots. They have now dried up and are starting to drop off. She has not been contagious for ages now. My daughter took her out to McDonald’s for a treat today and was met with stares and a woman telling her in earshot of my GD that it’s awful and looks dirty !!!!!! My GD became very upset by this comment She has been doing so well and doesn’t need a nasty woman making nasty comments. I wish I had been there as I think I may have had a harsher word to say back to her !!!!!

Oh this struck a chord! When she was about 9 DD went to stay with my aunt for a couple of days. Next day I had a phone call. She had got flu and was vomiting and having nosebleeds, DH and I went and collected her. Stopped several times on the way home while she either threw up or poured with blood and DH parked well away from us and pretended he didn't know us! The following year both children went to spend half term with a friend of mine. Next morning we went and collected them because they'd both got chicken pox!
