NEVER. I'd take her in for a well-check, only to find out that she had a raging ear infection or strep throat. She was not a happy baby, so incessant crying was the norm. How was I to know that she had an infection when she didn't run a fever? The military ER docs were the worst. They would underling things in the chart with a red pencil. <br /><br />As for the burnt boiled eggs...I have a wonderful set of pots and pans that Ed got for me several years ago. I love them. But I keep a $6 pot that I can throw away when I burn things in it. My darling daughter actually burned a copper pot of mine up. The bottom was stuck to the burner (had to replace that) and there was this perfect hole in the bottom of the pot. <br /><br />What you are is an honest-to-goodness, genuine, REAL mother. With a wonderful ability to laugh at yourself and find humor in your children. I think you are delightful!<br />(sorry to be so late in reading...I'm catching up on blogs this morning while it is quiet at work!)Mollianne Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18088163941917634506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817743520838931103.post-51032695094743139272009-10-28T20:01:51.261-05:002009-10-28T20:01:51.261-05:00I loved this!

I'm sure they are good in an actual life-threatening emergency, but if they have to actually discuss something with a family member, they are useless. (Turns out she didn't swallow a thumbtack - but when a kid is screaming in pain and telling you it happened, it's not a chance I'm going to take!) The doc told me "they actually pass through easily" - again, not a chance I'm going to take.<br /><br />And I frequently lose a child and I only have 3! (Granted, she takes off and wanders, but I do *try* to keep her with us!)<br /><br />mychildsview.blogspot.com<br />chickhatching.blogspot.comChick Hatchershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12193923417129870887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817743520838931103.post-6784484234970061682009-10-26T10:09:19.893-05:002009-10-26T10:09:19.893-05:00I'm glad I'm not the only one giggling.

Not at you ...I was giggling all through this post. Not at you but because I've done all of the above...and more! And I agree with Nikki on the ER Dr. They are always crabby. Anyway, I always go away from reading your stories with a smile. We're a lot alike. Oh and my son was wearing a size 5 shoe...5 and when I got him a new pair they were a 9...NINE. He didn't complain though...so how was I to know. :) Have a great week!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04482642072653474617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817743520838931103.post-1082073355780855812009-10-25T19:33:40.128-05:002009-10-25T19:33:40.128-05:00First of all...burning hard boiled eggs is plain f...First of all...burning hard boiled eggs is plain funny! How many times have I put something on the stove or in the oven and have completely forgotten about it!!! Too many times to count!<br /><br />Second of all...that ER doc was an absolute jerk!!!!
