I just don't get it. It seems that virtually EVERY Thursday night/Friday morning after attending a playgroup, sickness enters our house. This time it was me, but I still, despite my best efforts, have passed it on to Parker. Are we constantly catching it FROM our playgroup? Is it other things we encounter along the way (though I'm at a loss to know what)? What should I do? I am loathe to just quit going because the interaction is good for Parker (and me). I have shared our experience with the others in the group, and they still seem to think fairly nothing of it (except for one other mom, who has for all intents and purposed removed herself from the group).
Yes, I know it boosts our immune systems. But are they truly THAT weak? I don't know what else to do, except be pissed. I'm sick of not being able to go out, because I refuse to infect yet other people with my sniffling or Parker's. Perhaps I am being to protective of people. Perhaps I should go out and cough on every person I know. It has got to be better than being couped up here.
