Can’t be arsed with a title

Still sick, been to docs and we have a double ear infection also. The kicker? Can’t do anything about the ear infection cause… he won’t keep the medicine down!!
The poor little bugger sicked all down my back and all over the sofa this afternoon - it scares the daylights out of him. Dispassionately, it was warm and comforting at first, as a sensation, then cold and sticky. Like so much of life!
Rehydrating salts, water, bread, baby rice, banana and sugared water are all we have to play with. The washing machine and tumbler are going flat out. The house is a tip and I don’t give a stuff.
He howls for food and comfort and I can’t not oblige him. My overactive imagination believes that he thinks I’m trying to starve him. The doctor says I doing the right thing and exactly what he would wish but it’s hard. Hard to be led to the fruit bowl by a crying child and told, as plainly as I need to be and without words, that my darling boy wants a banana, he’s hungry, why won’t I give him a banana, mummy I’m hungry, pleeeease… Oh god, I can’t refuse him. He’ll probably be sick but I can’t. I’m crying just thinking about it.



Oh god, I feel awful for you both just hearing about it. Must be heart-wrenching.
Good thing it’ll only be you that’s scarred for life by the experience then, eh? Doncha just hate being the mature adult in the situations?!
Much love to you both darling xxx
You’re so right … screw the housework… just take care of him. Everything is going to be okay. I promise. Poor little peanut. And poor you as well. You’re a good mom.
Bahhh… what a horrid day yesterday was but we’re past it - no sickums today, boring babyrice and toast and banana and he really is looking brighter. I’m glad cause my nerves, ladies….
This is probably the best piece of writing I have seen in a long while.
I liked the analogy comparing life with vomit running down your back. Pure beauty.
Robodad, sometimes, there’s just no other way to describe it. I’m sure you can relate…!
