On the road to rehab?
One questions one's parenting skills when, after a few weeks of teething hell and copious amounts of panadol, nurofen and even naturopathic teething relief liquid later, one finds one's toddler playing in her room with a syringe, telling all of her teddies to 'open' while she pretends to squirt some form of pain-relieving drug into their stitched mouths. After each one she smacks her lips and says 'yum'.... too many drugs for her lately do you think?

oh my...this is just wrong :) i'm calling community services!
ReplyDeletedon't forget to tell them about the daily beatings we give her too :)
ReplyDeleteThank God you don't have to hold her down to administer medications... That would be the pits. I nearly cried having to watch a friend do that to their child. Mind you I have a tear in my eye every time my son has been vaccinated.
ReplyDeleteI too, had a junkie in the making. He loved those syringes of sweetness. Scary, huh?
Henry used to ask for it each morning when he woke up. "Mecidin Mum?"
ReplyDeleteHe hasn't had any for so long now he's forgotten about it.
Owen drags you over to the cupboard where that lovely clear liquid is kept and opens wide, ready for that panadol hit!
ReplyDeleteWe too are riding on that teething, drug induced rollercoaster. Each time it's over I pray that there will be no more teeth - at least for a while!
