So if the doctor prescribes you vicodin, then CPS should come in and see if your children are okay. Too groggy to care for youngsters, too.
To answer your ah...strange question though...I don't need CPS to tell me that I shouldn't let a 4 y/o have free reign of the house while I'm zonked out. Been there. I just hurt until hubby got home.
I am not happy with this woman...
You’re in a lot of pain (I have migranes so bad it hurts to breath in a pitch black, cool, perfetly still/no vibrations to jar your head and body place... unless you know, you CANNOT understand) but you have a small child to care for... You man up and hold out until someone (husband/father/grandparent/trusted babysitter) comes to relieve you. THEN and ONLY then may you crawl off and hope to die. Or take the pill that will actually help you feel like living.
Also... She ate lunch...? After a dental appointment that intense..?
And as far as I’m concerned, you don’t take a strong dose of med. and ‘sink into a relaxing bath’, bath salts or no bath salts. Stupid people die that way...
Where were her helpers while she was going to take her ‘relaxing’ bath? The old ‘Calgon, take me away!’ commercials used to make me see red! You don’t lock yourself into any bathroom for more than 20 or 30 seconds with an unsupervised 4yr old running about the house!
AHHHH!!!!... (Rant over)
That said, maybe she doesn’t mother the way I did, but did she deserve what happened to her? ... I don’t know. Was she impared? I don’t know, I wasn’t there. Reading through this I have mixed emotions. I think if she’d have just called me, I would have told her to give her little one some Pop Tarts (or a can of Spagettios) for lunch with milk and juice to chase them while she sat/lay on the couch in a fairly dark, soothing room while he watched a favorite movie or two. She would have been on the job and not exerting herself to the point it made the pain worse. I’d have been there in an hour to spell her for her bath and nap! ‘Dad’ could relieve me when he got home... At least that’s the way we do things in my house!
