I'm sick again. This literally has been the worst winter ever for sickness in our home and I am none too happy about it.
Question: Would you bring a very lethargic, sick boy to a birthday party?
Well, that is exactly what a very selfish woman did to us this weekend. I was so busy worrying about the games and the food preparation for 15 kids that I totally forgot to worry about the brainless twit factor.
Now we are all infected with this bad bug. I feel so bad for Bean because his Science project that he has worked so hard on is due to be presented on Wednesday and he probably won't be there to do it.
I'm someone who never grew up wanting or even thinking about kids, I've never even babysat for Christ sake. I was lucky enough to have two of the coolest kids known to man and I've never minded the hard work but I will NEVER get used to some of the annoying kids and their useless parents that we've had to deal with. How hard is it to teach manners and have some yourself?
I can't stand parents that whore themselves out just to make their kids happy 100% of the time. We've been stalked by a few sets of parents for "play dates" because their kids have really wanted to play with ours. One mother would even call me at 8:30 on a Sunday morning telling me we were first on her son's list of people he wanted to play with that day. I finally had to get call display, I am not kidding, she was manic. When her child says he wants something she doesn't rest until she gets it for him and they are not the only ones. NO seems to be a very dirty word these days.
Weekend's to me are family time not get rid of your kid time. They see each other at school for 6 hours a day! Bean is allowed to bring someone home for dinner and a movie every second Friday, he thinks it's enough and so do we.
I usually don't use my blog to rant about my personal life but today I just couldn't help it.

ranting is what blogs are for! :)
I hope you guys all feel better. Some people are just so insensitive. How hard can it be to teach basic manners? I think family time is so important! Thank goodness for your son, that he's got a mum like you! Feel better soon! :)
i'm so sorry to hear you are sick AGAIN! i can imagine how frustrating it would be when winter becomes one long cold-chain.
i think for your next party, you should have a bouncer at the door that keep all ill children and selfish, attention-starved mothers out.
get well soon.
I hope you and your family feels better soon. You'd be so proud of me - I'm feeling really sick today, it's the first day of sickness, so I'm thinking I'm highly contagious at this point, and I decided to stay home! This way I'll feel better sooner, and won't infect everyone at work.
Raising kids is hard, I don't have any of my own, but I understand what you mean by having to deal with all these other parents. I think medical doctors would understand you - they have to deal with brainless twits all the time.
Awww.....
Thanks you guys. You've made me feel a lot better.
Chelly: You are very sweet thanks for the kind words.
Poppy: I could never imagine you dragging a sick kid around in public and you're right, it's not nice for the child either.
Jessa: Hi my sweet sister. I love the bouncer idea!
You will not believe what I heard today about this particular Mother. On the same day she came to Bean's party with her very sick son she dropped her younger son off at another birthday party and he was sick too. Now that's nerve!
Grumperina: I really hope you feel better soon.
Carolyn: May you and you kids lives be filled with non annoying parents and playmates. Thanks for your comment.
