While my husband and child were in the grocery store, some woman brought in a small child who v*ed all over the store. If it were me, I would have left immediately. He avioded the pair and stayed at least one aisle away the whole time. They did not go where the v* was until it was cleaned up. Fortunately, he didn't buy anything perishable. However, I was so frightened I could not sleep. I had to get up and wash all my food, cabniets and fridge with bleach. My husband and I have autoimmune diseases and my daughter has a stomach issue that caused her to v* for months at a time requiring many hospital trips until we figured out what was wrong. My husband also has gasterial issues that cause him to be sick for months at a time as well. I'm not so scared for myself but I worry constantly about my husband and kids. So many times, I have woken up in the middle of the night to my sick child. It's scary for me to even sleep at night. Now, I will be scared for the next 48 hours for fear they may have caught something from this woman and her child. I am writing a letter to the management, because that is ridiculus.

Do I need to be so worried? Sadly, winter is the best time of year and it is also the sickness season. I want my kids to be able to enjoy being out with other kids and do things, but I fear other mothers like this one (whom I think is very unusual) who without regard to anyone else refuse to even take their child to the bathroom, let alone home to bed where he belongs. I have to admit even reading this forum is very uncomfortable to me. I just want to crawl in a hole and hide all winter.
