I am an awful vile mother because I have infected my son with this viral infection thing and he is still ill!
I swear our doctor thinks I’m some kind of hypochondriac, over protective, psycho mum because I have spoken to her 3 times this week, 3 times! I took him to see her Monday and she gave the usual it’s a viral thing, give him Calpol and lots of water blah, blah, blah, which I did and then on Wednesday he still wasn’t better and that’s like 5 days now so I phoned her and she was very patient and nice and told me the same thing again.
He’s been complaining about achey legs and this morning when he woke up he could hardly even walk and I had to carry him down the stairs, which is not a good idea because he is practically the same size as me even though he’s only 8, so I panicked and phoned the doctor again.
Wouldn’t you know it, by the time his appointment came around he is completely better and I’m explaining that he was honestly much worse this morning and I told her the carrying him down the stairs story and she asks him does it hurt now and he says “no” and just to demonstrate the point that his mother is paranoid and a bit nuts he does this little acrobatic jump thing of the examination couch and she’s looking at me like if she sees me one more time this week she’ll smack me or something.

And it’s all my fault because I was ill and I gave it to him and I’m a vile, horrible mother.

So I will have had a whole week of work which I feel terrible about but my boss is so lovely and when I phoned him up gibbering on about how I felt so bad about not being able to come in he was all “oh it’s ok, don’t worry at all” because he is a lovely, lovely man and I am never ever going to moan about my job ever again.


Look.....I'm so ill I can't even brush my hair and I've lost the will to put on make up...feel sorry for me...


I might be ill but at least I can still smile for the camera


My husband - in case I forget what he looks like!

Christ - I wish I looked that good without doing my hair or putting on any makeup. Which I don't, of course. 'Cause I'm a bloke and I don't do that. Did it sound really suspicious I bought that up?

You were just concerned about the little guy, is all, what with all these flu scares and bird viruses and nuclear weapons and axe murderers with colds that seem to be popping up everywhere. There's nothing wrong with that. Of course, the doctor is well within her rights to have you committed, so I'd watch out for that. You loony.

Hope you're feeling better, at any rate.

We all believe we're horrible and vile mothers at some stage of the game. You did the right thing, ringing the doc whenever you were concerned. It's what they're there for.

Oooo-ee girl. You're gorgeous, even without make-up.

Well since you were kind enough to comment on my blog that I looked gorgeous, I simply have to reciprocate: if I could only look half so good on a good day as you look ill and without make-up, I would take all my clothes off and run through Shifnal shouting look at me everybody!'

Plus, your little lad only got your germs because you were still caring for him even when you were very ill, so that is a sign of a good mum, not a vile one. Kids always do that thing of being fine 10 minutes after being near-death too. Don't worry, all the doctors know that. As well as they know that all mothers are paranoid. ;-)

Aye aye Nonny,

Good to hear you're not puking everywhere, coz to be honest there's nothing more annoying than a Richard who ill, so your husband had a touch there. But you're looking on the mend now.

I know what you mean about your boy, i had a virus last year - I thought i was dying and had the same thing, but when i started eating again it went really quickly, which was a good job coz i waz going to call an ambulance.

But after you have a virus do you ever wonder who you caught it from and harbour a grudge? I do.
