JudoMom Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I've got 5 boys with croupy coughs. is what my house sounds like. Only louder. And more repetitive. I think I'm losing my mind :001_huh:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuntieM Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I had no idea *what* your post would say when I opened it! What a great metaphor! But really, sorry for your circumstances. Hope your herd (or would that be a pod?) is soon on the mend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
********* Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Oh my. I thought I was the only mommy who goes crazy listening to her children cough. For some reason, listening to my boys cough and cough and cough makes me irritable. My dh thinks I'm crazy. :D I'm aware of it, and I don't take it out on the kids. It just drives me crazy to listen to them cough. I don't know why. Well, I think it has to do with some sort of childhood baggage... :tongue_smilie: Here's hoping your guys are better soon. Zee woke up coughing this moring. :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

********* Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I know my dss gets a croupy cough when he aggravates his asthma by running around too much when he's got a cold. I know it's hard to keep those boys still, but it will keep the coughing down. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I think it has to do with some sort of childhood baggage... :tongue_smilie: I think I know what it is, at least for me. It's a feeling of being helpless. Coughing is something I relate to asthma and croup (both of which we've experienced). Something about those conditions makes me feel helpless as a mom. We're talking about our children's ability to breathe, kwim? That's my nickel's worth. And now the doctor is out. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
