Ok, may be blogging a lot these day. SS came to live with us about 3-4 months ago. He is not a nice kid. Very manipulative, lies all the time. So on and so on and so on. And this blog is not about a big thing, it just happen to come to a head today and I need to blog.

Anyway. BM has some form of muchasens…(sp) She used to take SS to the DR 1-2 times a month for the stupidest crap. The best one was his nipples swelled up a bit one day when he was 14 and she rushed him to the ER. They told her he was in puberty and was perfectly fine. I really did feel sorry for SS that day. I thought he would be embarrassed but he loved the attention.

Since he has been with us, he has had toe problems, back problems, headaches, stomach aches, ear aces, he thought he was retaining water one time and wanted to go to DR. Well DH has not taken him to the Dr for anything except the ear because he thought it may be infected. (it was not) He knows the rest is mostly in SS mind. They did a complete physical and he is just fine. He is always fine. They have been telling BM for years he is fine, yet she continues to keep taking him to Dr for stumped toes and crap so now he thinks it is not normal if he does not get taken to the Dr at least once a month.

I thought he was getting better about it but he went and spent a few hours with BM last week and has stared it all up again, only worse. The school nurse has called DH 3 times this week about SS. All different things wrong with him. (he is 17) Today, she finally told DH that SS needs to go to DR today. She can’t keep seeing him everyday.

So DH, just had to make an appointment for this afternoon and take off work to take SS to DR. I just realized that I did not even ask DH what was wrong with him this time. I am not even sure what he went to nurse for today. Monday it was his stomach, Tuesday it was his back.

How can we make him realize that not every ache and pain MUST be seen by a DR?
