"My son just got a cold today, and I am terrified. I very narcissitically am totally concerned with the impact of HIS cold on ME. I do not want to get it. If I do, it will be another sinus infection, and those have been so hard to treat in me without a short course of steroids and antibiotics. I just don't want to catch it. Ya think he'll wash his hands? Ya think? Not."

Now you know how I feel after years of steroids.... Neighbor calls. Child at school is sick as a dog and running a fever.... Mother cannot get away from the office... Will I pick him up??? Not in a thousand years... I get black grades in my "helpful neighbor" gradebook....
