Uberskank, knowing I have asthma, sent the kid over with a very contagious respiratory flu. I told DH to keep her in her room and to use bleach wipes on everything.

I upped my vitamin C and stayed the hell away from her. I told him that he has to spray down anything she touches with lysol.

I was furious because something like that can put me in the hospital. He refused to send her back home.

No BM just sent SD over last week with a really bad cold and she was kissing all over her brothers who are 6 months old. It took one getting sick for me to realize she was stuffing from more than allergies.

BM sent SD14 over with bronchitis once and just said "she's had a cough for a few days". Not that she was consistently hacking her brains out! DH is severely asthmatic (was in and out of the hospital seeing the top asthma specialists in the country for most of his childhood) and bronchitis can put him in the hospital easily. Of course, BM knew this and chose to send her over anyway.

DH luckily kept his distance and was very fastidious about washing his hands and wiping everything down with antibacterial shit and didn't get sick.

I'm very prone to bronchitis as well and had it HORRIBLY last year for more than 2 months. And neither of us have ever smoked a cigarette in our lives!

BM does not inform DH of any illnesses.

SS10 has asthma, so if he coughs it is asthma, everything is asthma. He has come over so ill that we've had to take him to the ER. Bronchitis is not asthma. SMDH

Nope, and my DH SKs and horsefaced BM did not give one rats ass that I walked around with an entire collapsed right lung from having 2 back to back bouts of pneumonia. I had 30% lung function and struggled to stay alive for 4 long hell filled years. I just started getting better a year ago. I still have severe asthma from it.

My DH and BM would push the kids on me all the time and especially on BM's time because she had to go find a new husband before her alimony ran out.

To this day I hate my DH and BM for doing that to me.

I could have died if I would have gotten another lung infection. Do you think any of them cared?

Even now I only have 37% lung function because my lungs got so scarred from the pnuemonias but my body is adapting and I can basically do anything now, but I'm still very vulnerable should something happen again. It's very scary. If I loose 10% more lung function I have to go on a waiting list for a lung transplant.

My DH and BM thought nothing of exposing me to the kids with colds and flu's - they did not care.

BM would flip flop. She would go from sending them over with the flu...hoping, I suppose, to get us all sick. To trying to keep them home because she claimed they had lice. They did NOT have lice. Other kids that were at their house had lice. ::sigh::

Ah, no, idiot never did. Once she came over and claimed the kid was fine when she left her house, but within 30 minutes of being at OUR house kid vomited...then BM tried to blame ME...although the kid had not even eaten at our home. After my baby was born I made it very clear, either we are given the medicine or she can stay home. If the kid is too sick to go to school because they school would not allow her to make other kids sick, no way I would allow her into my home. If DH wanted to see her, he had to pick her up and I would leave the house with my baby. Too bad, so sad. No way I was going to have to take extra days off work, etc. because of a sick baby thanks to BM. By the way, to this day her kids, even the 15yr old are ALWAYS sick...
