Mommy Misadventures http://www.mommymisadventures.com Musings of a mama meandering her way through motherhood Sat, 17 Oct 2009 05:36:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 en hourly 1 The H1N1 *headesk* post http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MommyMisadventures/~3/QInaD9shDD4/ http://www.mommymisadventures.com/2009/10/16/the-h1n1-headesk-post/#comments Sat, 17 Oct 2009 05:36:04 +0000 Michelle http://www.mommymisadventures.com/2009/10/16/the-h1n1-headesk-post/ Well, it looks like the current Big Issue ™ is whether or not to get your child vaccinated against the H1N1 flu. I’m honestly really surprised at the number of parents who are so vehemently against their child getting the H1N1 vaccine, even if they’re not staunchly anti-vaccination. And then I’m more confused when reading discussions about it that it seems like the same parents who are anti-H1N1 vaccination are also the same folks who are paranoid about their child getting sick with H1N1.

“I don’t want my kid catching H1N1 yet I refuse to get them the very vaccination that my prevent it.” Does that line of thinking make sense to you? It doesn’t to me.

For what it’s worth, I think it is in every parents’ nature to be wary of anything that is being put into their child. It is a parents’ job to advocate for their children when they are too small to do so for themselves.

That being said, will The Little Empress receive the H1N1 vaccine? I don’t know — I’ll be asking her doctor what he thinks and then making a judgment call. At the moment, I’m leaning towards yes because while I don’t think that H1N1 is the Killer Flu that everyone seems to be afraid it is (THANKS MEDIA HYPE), it does sound pretty nasty and if I can spare TLE the misery of being sick, why not?

And another thing that just doesn’t make sense to me — parents that carry around anti-bacterials everywhere to “guard against the cold and the flu.” Buh? Hello — the cold and flu are caused by VIRUSES. Anti-bacterial gel won’t stop a virus. Just saying.

@lilempress decided to redecorate the family room wall. She was so
proud of herself so I couldn’t yell at her. Oh well, at least it is
washable.
