Oh, the anger. It burns.

MIL was watching Claire today. She calls DH because Claire spikes a 101 fever. DH told her to give Claire .5 mL of tylenol (which he specified was the red medicine). We later found out that she gave Claire .5 mL of benadryl because it had red writing on it. Nevermind the words on the label. We're going with the color-coded school of pharmacology now. Holy shiit, I am so angry at her.

Eta: she gave her 5 mL. I was flustered and typed the wrong amount.

Holy Hell!! She is dangerous!

PinkPeony6210 · February 2011

I'm just so thankful that Claire is okay and didn't overdose on some random medicine.

When did our parents lose their common sense? Nevermind is she a mother herself but she's human and likely to have had a fever herself and I can't imagine that she doesn't know the difference between Tylenol and Benadryl!

Not to be an a-hole here, but is she illiterate?

Nope. Apparently she didn't have her glasses on. She cried when she realized it.

Well, now I feel a little bit bad for her. Hopefully, she's learned from her massive mistake.

I do feel bad for her, but I'm also incredibly pissed off.

And rightfully so. You trust her with your child, she needs to be more careful than that. Period.

I too would be extremely upset if that happened, and it would be a while before I'd feel safe leaving LO with my MIL again.

So sorry, mama, but glad she is ok!

Agreed. It scares me so much to think of what could have happened had it been a different bottle, the wrong dose, etc.
