Some People Really Just Don't Get It!

A little bit of background...

Okay so at work we spend a fair amount of time in the lunchroom just generally chit chatting during coffee breaks and on lunch. I've worked the same job for 5 years...so I've gotten to know quite a bit about some of the girls I work with...what their life is like outside of work...and also heard many stories about their friends and family.

Well there is one particular woman that is a friend in common with a few other girls....still with me??? I've heard about this woman time and time again and honestly feel like I almost know her (weird eh?).

Well today there was a story about said woman that is like no other I've ever heard!

Let me ask you a little common sense question here...

If your child had lice or some other contagious childhood annoyance...I'd say disease but is lice really a disease...anyway, would you take said child to social events previously scheduled...say like a birthday party...how about 2??? Wow! Can I just say that if your child showed up at my son's birthday party and had lice I would be pizzzzzzzzzzzzzed...beyond belief. I was so mad for those poor unsuspecting parents...and I've never even met any of these ppl.

Now don't get me wrong...I know that when we were growing up parents often had 'chicken pox parties' so that they could get the chicken pox done and over with (back then there was no vaccine...imagine that?? lol). And I'm all for such an event...IF every parent involved knows that your child does in fact have chicken pox and realizes that it will likely spread. But to bring your child to a birthday party and swear her to secrecy...that is just un-freakin-believable. Mother of the year?? I think NOT!!!!
