[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just need to vent here- TIA for the opp. My DH insisted that DS get a flu shot this year. I do not believe in their efficacy - I read a lot about how it's too difficult to pin the vaccine to the strain o' the year. But he inSISted and so when the school was offering them and DH said please do it- we did. When we got there we were first in line. The lady said "shot or sniff?" (vapor- I did not know that was an option) I hesitated and she said "did you specially request a sniff?" and I truthfully said No.[b] So he got a very painful scary shot with a long ugly needle by a fat ugly scary woman who was smacking her gum the whole time.[/b] I do go with the proscribed run of standard vaccines and I do believe in them - so it's not as difficult for me to make him step up to those. But this feels different. While we were waiting to leave, the line filled in, and I saw many parents taking advantage of the "sniff" opportunity, impromptu, while I did not. Ugh. I had never been through flu shot line before and wasn't thinking fast enough. I just can't get this scene out of my mind and I feel badly about it. [/quote]

What you should feel terrible about is your horrible attitude, OP. [/quote]
