"notes"

A couple of weeks ago, my daughter got really sick. Either a cold or allergies, but she couldn't breathe. So my wife decided to put a "Vicks" children's patch on her as she slept. It really helped and she slept well. The problem is that now, for some reason, she is terrified of them. And she won't even let us take her shirt off.

I was afraid I screwed her up for life and her husband would hate me so I talked with a woman who is a children's counselor and she told me stuff like this is normal. That children develop fears for strange reasons and, over time, she would work through it.

Parenting is really, really strange.
