I'm so upset. I felt bad that I wasn't taking my DS (he's almost 6 mths) anywhere lately because I didn't want him to get sick. On the other hand I felt bad because he wasn't getting any exposure to other kids which he seems to enjoy the few times he has. So I took him to a 2 year old's bday party Saturday and now he has his first cold. If I never took him, he wouldn't be sick right now. My sister said its fine, he needs to build his immunity but I still feel awful. I'm just babbling....
Re: It's all my fault =(
Uh, not to be unsupportive, but yeah. It's just a cold - you didn't drop him on his head or something.
He's going to bump his head learning to walk, skin his knees learning to run or ride a bike, and maybe even break a bone learning to climb a tree. None of these things will be your fault and if you get this worked up over a cold, you're going to be a basket case.
As parents, we care about and want to protect our kids, but we also need to let them actually be kids... /soapbox
