My lil one has been sick since last Saturday. He started with a sniffle and then constant sneezing. He has alergies so I waited till Monday to see if it got better and when it didn’t I took him to the doc and she found that he had a sinus infection and prescribed antibiotis. Within 2 days he it went into his chest and he had some weezing ( It has slowly progessed as the week went on) so she pescribed 2 meds used for asthma type symptoms. Well The whole week my husbad has been acting like an ass so we’ve been arguing alot and with my sis and mom here it got worse. Well yesterday was the first day he started the new meds and my husband decided to take my son out to run arrands after i told him not to cause he is still sick. He’s better but he knows he has to take meds every few hours. Well i read the labels and was gonna set reminders on my phone to remind me what med to take and what time to take it. Well He took of and I kept calling him and he was being a stupid ass and not wanting to answer the phone and giving it to my son and would not get on the phone so I was pissed. When he finally answered the phone himself it was 2 hours later and 15 min before the meds were due to be taken. He says he will not be home for enother hour and is far away and I should have told him and he doesn’t know about any of this and why don’t i keep him informed. Uh HELLO! You know he’s sick and know damn well he’s taking meds. Ugggg! SO i got even more pissed off. Well they got home 15 minutes after the med were supposed to be taken. Well I gave my son his meds and was being a lil difficult and spit out the first half of the meds i put in his mouth so I finally finished giving him the antibiotics and one of the new meds. We ended up going out to dinner and i rembered that one of the other new meds was due to be taken then i realized i gave him the wrong one when they had gotten home earlier. THe one I had given him was only to be taken once a day and the antibiotics and the other new med r 3 times a day so I was freaking out. I called the pharmacy and spoke to the pharmacist and she basically told me that I overdoesed my son and he would have some long term side affects because of it. I then called my doc and she said sinve it’s the first day he took them he should be fine and to continue giving him the meds as usual and he should be fine. I then called poison control anmd agreed with the doc and told me the pharmacist was totally wrong and not to worry just watch my son and if anything happened to take him to doc or ER. Well thankfully he had no problems with it that i noticed. He was running about as he always does and was as he is normally. I then realized that I was so wound up that my judgement was impared and that I am a danger to my kids when i am like this. How could I have done such a stupid thing. I was in such a low place last night and to make things worse my husband was like see u are always fucking things up and are never organized blah blah blah. I was like if u hadn’t pisse dme off so bad this would have never happeded. We are both to blame for this but I am more to even let this affect me so bad that I could have killed my baby boy. I am the worst person in the world and do not deserve to be a mom. I need help and I haven’t seen my therapist in a few weeks and I just need to see here and she has not called me back. I just don’t know how I could have let this happen and I am very angry at myself.

    It was wrong of him to say those things to you and make you feel bad.  You didn”t hurt your son and next time you will be more careful so please don”t beat yourself up too much.  It happened, he is fine.  I think all of us moms mess up at least once in their kids life. 

    As for your husband saying you are unorganized and always fucking things up, you tell that creep that whenever he would like to take over things he is more than welcome since he thinks he could do so much better!!  UGH, my husband has done that crap and it pisses me off to no end!  they want to criticize and bitch but never do they want to jump in and help out or take any of the burden off of us!!  You stay strong and don”t let him or anyone make you feel like a bad person or bad mother.

    so apparently I need to clarify. when I said at least once I meant in regards to this type of thing, that we have all done something that made us feel awful like we hurt our child.  I would hope svisz02 that this doesn”t happen every day?

      As for the everyday things, that wasn”t what I was talking about at all.  Those types of things are a different subject alltogether!  Of course we all make mistakes as far as parenting.   Unless you are an abusive, neglectful parent, just terrible person, I don”t believe that you are making horrible parenting mistakes everyday!

    Again, please don”t feel bad Mz, it does happen to us all as you can see. The pharmacist probably just looked in their drug guide and read the possible problems that could occur with too much of the medication.  They should have told you what to look for as far as symptoms and let you know the possibilities, not said that you caused long term problems, that was very irresponsible on their part.  If they aren”t certain they can”t say what will happen. Anyway, I hope you realize that it was just a mistake and that you didn”t hurt him.

    Thank you for you guys for your words. It just sux that my husband has to be such a jerk at times. He doesn”t realize how hard it is to be in the situation that we r in right now. He thinks I don”t worry about all of our financial problems. Of course I do and everything else that we go through. I”m sorry your husband has said hurtful things 2 u 2 Taking_Back. Men can be such insensitive jerks. I know my son is ok but I still can”t help but do just that and beat myself up about it. Thank you once again for the support. I just needed to get all that off my chest. Hugs 🙂

    Kids don”t come with instruction manuals sweets. It just means that the mistakes you do make you will learn from. Besides pharmacists are not doctors. Personally that person should have told you "in my opinion it MAY have long term effects but you should really consult your childs doctor". Because like I said, they are not a doctor, they did not go to medical school and usually pharmacists aren”t taught as extensively.

    I agree though. It is very WRONG of your husband to speak to you in that manner.
