I’ve lost the minuscule bit of pity I once had for her after her buggering off & leaving her sick child today, when I saw her pushing the stroller I assumed it was a quick trip to the shop but to then go visiting including a house that I think has a small baby in it, after all her shiting on about colds & RSV, She spends most of her week glued to the couch and as soon as there’s a child that needs her she’s gone. It’s bad enough the poor child seems to have been plonked in a chair for most of yesterday, deprived of basic affection but to then hear her crying tonight as she was choked up & mother looking like it was a massive inconvenience

when mine are/were like that I grab a set of headphones & hop into bed with them & watch something on my phone for the evening as having them cuddled into me keeps them elevated & helps with their airways. Obviously not with the preteen now, he just gets an extra pillow & some extra hugs before I go to bed but my 3yo was unwell this week & she had a couple of nights in my bed, myself & my husband did a night each sleeping almost upright while she snoozed against us. I haven’t left the house since Sunday as I eventually caught it too!
The right thing to do today would have been to send her Mam off with Ayda. I often feel like she sees Hazel as an inconvenience. Ayda is the perfect child, never sick, no special foods needed, and generally more laid back, it’s sad the way she compares them so much.
