FSS5 Sick; BM Calling CONSTANTLY
This weekend FSS5 was a little sick (not feverish, just coughing a little and lethargic). BM claims that FSS threw up a couple times on Friday, but I don't know if that meant he coughed and a little food came out or what. She's really a hypochondriac. She sent him over with children's advil. Isn't that stuff bad for kids? Besides, it was a pain reliever/fever reducer and he didn't need that so much as your basic cough medicine (if anything).
FDH was pissed because BM told him that if FSS still wasn't feeling well then FDH should bring FSS back to BM that (Friday) evening after she'd get off work (at 11pm? yea, sure, you're 'working'), then FDH could pick FSS back up in the early morning (6am). Okay, how does any of that make sense? Why would FDH drop him back off with BM for the night? FDH can take care of his sick child. Furthermore, wouldn't all that late night/early morning pick up/drop off be disruptive to his sleep, which is probably more important than any medicine if he's going to get better? UGH!
BM called pretty much every hour, if not every half hour. She would ask to speak to FSD9, as if she couldn't believe FDH when he said that FSS was "just fine." Look, FSS was definitely under the weather, but he wasn't THAT ill. He just needed some rest and (in my opinion) a change of environment. By Sunday he was running around and pretty much back to normal, aside from an occasional cough. I really think if you cater to an illness mentally, you're encouraging it to stick around. I think BM does this with the kids, and it drives me nuts. I hate to think that as soon as FSS went back to BM she stuck him full of medicine and tucked him into bed like he was some fragile infant.

Thank you! I don't understand
Thank you! I don't understand where logic is in her reasoning. Apparently FDH can make all the money and support her lazy a**, but he doesn't know how to buy the necessary medicine or determine that one is even needed. He didn't answer all of her calls, thank goodness, because he thought it was just as ridiculous as I did. Oh, and FSD did tell her mom that FDH made FSS some homemade chicken soup. I bet she didn't believe he could do anything that *gasp* fatherly.
Sounds like our BM she thinks
Sounds like our BM she thinks she is the only one in the world who can take care of a sick kid. I raised 3 kids and I did a damm good job. Nevermind she never did the caretaking when she was still with BF he did it all. Now all of a sudden she is MOTY. Which is fine sometimes kids would rather be with mom instead of dad when they are sick. But geez!!!
Classic psycho BM behaviour.
Classic psycho BM behaviour. These golden uterus types think that they are the "only legitimate parent" (TM) and that biodad is a mouth breathing, knuckle draggging idiot when taking care of his own child.
It could be worse though. In the early years when the skids were sick and GG would take them even if they were having high fevers and projectile vomiting, he would CALL THE BEHEMOTH ABOUT TYLENOL DOSAGE ETC which would totally encourage the "only legitimate parent" syndrome. . .EVEN THOUGH I WAS A SUCCESSFUL PARENT WHO KNEW ABOUT SICK CHILDREN AND TYLENOL DOSAGES!!! He would turn into "Mr. Helpless" and "need to consult and coparent with the BM to be a good parent" personna!! :SICK: :SICK:
Plus the dosage is right on the package!! DUH!!
