Re: Private Practice /measles

[Guest guest]

Mothers in the past would try very hard to infect their children with

mumps, measles, rubella, and chicken pox. I believe mothers throughout

history have always loved their children and tried to protect them at

all costs. If these diseases were so deadly do you really think there

would have been measles parties? My mom tried so hard to make me get

chicken pox when my sisters got it (I never did for some reason

though.) Does this mean my Mom didn't love me since she was supposedly

putting my life in such severe danger?

I'm a child of the late 50's and my Mom (and most others that lived near us)

believed in having us exposed to " whatever " in the hopes that we would get

" it " as a child and be over with it.

I've had Chicken pox, measles, mumps, and german measles, and so has DH, and

neither one of us can even remember anyone getting violently ill from one of

these childhood diseases, let alone dying!

Health & blessings,

My mother always expected both of us to get whatever - measles,

chicken pox, mumps etc and we usually obliged. She totally hated us

being sick and basically sent us to bed till we were better so it

wasn't that she loved sick kids, more " lets get it over with " and

usually most of our pals would be sick about the same time so over a

period of a few weeks most kids would be off school with whatever

was going the rounds, but we all survived it.

Mind you, neither of us older kids got the Scarletina that my

youngest sister had and that was a closely guarded secret for some

odd reason.
