Bronchitis

If you know me at all you know that I'm very particular or maybe even a little OCD about certain things, such as germs and cleanliness. I'm not going to apologize for it, it's just who I am. I can't shower if the shower is dirty, I literally want to throw up when people don't wash their hands or at least use sanitizer after going to the bathroom, coughing, touching shopping carts etc., I can't stand it when people smell like smoke, have dirty nails, or bad breath. I am trying to teach Austin good heathly habits such as washing his hands, wiping his mouth and hands if they are dirty at the table, and covering his mouth when he coughs etc. The ones I just listed he already has down. So if my almost 2 year old is on his way to having "nice manners" why is it there are still adults who just have HORRIBLE habits that are really just plane gross. If you want to be ( in my opinion) not a very clean person, then that's your problem. But at what point do I have the right to say..if you are going to be that way..then I don't want you sitting next to my child at the dinner table, I don't want you holding my new born, I don't want you kissing Austin?? I'm sure if I just said those things they would come across as very rude, I know that. BUT at the same time, I'm sick and tired of being around people who get me or my child sick. Austin is a very healthy child and is rarely at the Dr. So today I was NOT happy to have to take him in because he had an awful sounding cough. We came out with the diagnosis of Bronchitis. Oh joy. So yes, I guess I'm bitching, but if you are sick...cover your mouth when you are hacking up a lung. Or better yet...have the decency to stay away from people until you are fully over whatever nastiness you are walking around with. That's all I'm saying.

I am so sorry you guys are sick. I agree that people who are sick should stay at home instead of spreading their crude to everyone else.

Hmmm... I concur. No need to make a 2 year old sick if you don't need to.
