Are you the type of person that avoids someone with the flu or a cold, then blames that person if you happen to get sick? Or you the type that helps that person?
I am the second type. I grew up with a mother that was (still is) so petrified to get sick that she would do as little as possible for me so she could avoid getting whatever I had. In fact, she wont even call me on the phone to this day to check if I need anything if I am sick!!!
Because I am of the second type, I am now sick. My sweetie got a nasty cold, and I let him stay here (in case ya'll don't remember, he lives 5 hours away) and took care of him and gave him medicine and all of that.
So here I am, with the nastiest cold I've had this year, all alone and miserable. The only cold medicine I have is nighttime stuff, and I have to take my daughter to and from school, so I can't take any of that. My sweetie, while he is very sorry to have gotten me sick, didn't want to come over last night because he doesn't want to relapse. I think he's coming over tonight, which is good, because I would feel really bad if he avoided me when I needed some help, which I kinda do.
I think he thinks I am mad at him for being so kind as to give me this gift of a cold, but I'm NOT!!! It happens, there's one going around and I would have gotten it anyway...
So what type are you guys??
