My daughter

[ashley11]

So yesterday at the bus stop a mom decides to announce that her daughter had d* that morning, and her daughter sits with my daughter who is just like all of us. I wanted to scream wash your hands when you get to school, but I kept myself from doing that. These people are dirty and I know for a fact that she does not wash her hands after she goes to thge bathroom so I was in freakout mode all day. Well so was my poor daughter. She had such a panic attack last night because she said "does she have a sv*, will I get it?" The little girl made it through school all day and when she came home she was outside playing, my daughter would not go near her and when the little girl tried to hug her yesterday my daughter told her to get away that she did not want her d*. Part of me feels bad, but I really get what my daughter said, because that is what I was thinking and kids just say whatever is on there mind. But I think the parents are upset with me and my daughter. How do I explain to them? My daughter was so nervous last night. She is 6 only an emet would think and say the things she was saying. What do I do?

If you decide to explain, which you don't have too, I would just tell the truth. You don't have to go into the whole thing if you don't want to. Just say you are sorry if your daughter hurt the other girls feelings but she is just afraid of getting sick. Thats all you have to say.

I also want to say how bad I feel that your daughter has is suffering with anxiety and emet at such a young age. That makes me so sad. Mine started when I was about 12 or so and it was so scary for me then. I cant imagine how a 6 year old would feel.

It's just not fair.

I feel for your daughter too, I've had emet as long as I can remember. As for having to explain, I agree with KellyBeth, all you have to do is say your daughter is afraid of getting sick. There is no need to go into personal details. I'm sorry that you both have to go through this.
