Vent - Why is it

[csab]

This afternoon a neighbour came upto me to see how V is going and to show me how concerned she was, as she hadnt seen me around.
She had let me know that she had asked DH where I was and he had told her about V.
Well anyway she starts talking to V and then touching her on the face etc. Now I am not sure about how you ladies/gents feel about this but I am not fussed on the touching even more so now that V has been so sick.
Then she goes on telling me how last week she had her son at the Dr's for being sick and was classified as having swine flu, even tho they arent testing now, so he was given the antibiotics. Now knowing that why on earth would you even think about touching another child especially knowing that that child had been so sick and almost lost her life?
I just dont understand it.

It makes my blood boil, knowing about this. V is still really on the mend, I have had her to the DR's twice this week, today being the most recent. The DR seems to think she is still getting over the broncholitis.

I am already a nervous wreck worrying about her catching something right now, and now I have to worry about this too. Who knows if the neighbour is coming down with anything especially after her son. Why why why, it just makes me sooo very annoyed.

Do you think I am being abit of a worry wart? I just cant go thru that nightmare again.

I just dont understand why people who arent close family friends or family think it is ok to touch another child especially with so many illnesses going around.

Thanks for the vent.

holy moley!!!!!!!!!!!!! how idiotic is this woman, im sorry hun but u have every right to be annoyed about this.
i cant believe someone could be so stupid to possibly expose an ultimately still very sick lil girl to a highly contagious flu!!!!!!
big hugs, hope V's improving in leaps and bounds.

Thanks Skybie, I am still in shock. If only people would think before hand.

I would be so upset too! People just don't think sometimes. After what you have just been through, you have every right to feel freaked out and angry at her.

Thankyou Trish, when i got her inside i put sanitise hand wash over her face in hopes to kill any germs.

yes i agree, how stupid can she be???? It would make me so mad if someone did that especially after what you have been thru with V ( i read your other posts, glad she is getting better). You are definately not a worry wort, you have every right to be angry.
