"The word of mouth-parenthood edition"
Hello everyone, so today is Wednesday and today is actually my laundry day, so I'm a bit tired, but still here I am gonna have a little chitchat with you. I only wash our dirty clothes by hand because we need to save some electricity to lessen up our bill. We we're poor you know? chaarrot๐.
Oh speaking of electricity. I converted my BCH in my wallet today, because I have to pay our bills. I know that I should hodl, but, due date is near, and so yeah I have to take this
opportunity while the market was still green, so I can pay them both. I mean, water and electricity bill. My partner still can't help me with this matter because he was still paying his agency. I am talking about his processing fees. So unfortunately I am broke again๐คฆ.
Actually I felt demotivated every time my wallet get empty, but I had no choice. I am also sad because the green baby had forgotten me, so I have nothing. But yeah, I have to keep going, I know he will be going to remember me again soon. I'll just have to wait for him, patiently with love. Chaaarrr ๐.
Anyway, let's forget about that charr charrr thingy, and let's go to the business. Lol.
Well I came to this topic because of the story that my mother-in-law had told me the other day. It's about the new parents and their baby and their neighbor as well.
Anyway, the word of mouth is an information shared by a person. It may be mean as a piece of advice or a suggestions, something like that.
So specifically, this topic is about parenthood. I'm gonna express my opinion as a new parent. I would like to say, that we should not always rely to the word of mouth. Most specially if the concern was about the safety and the health of our child.
Commonly, it's okay to ask for some suggestions or advice from our parents or from people we trust, for us to learn. Because sometimes in parenthood, there are also some stages that we don't need to worry much about our childs health. But we should also be aware that sometimes we really need experts to get the right medication. We should know the right time to make some actions q and do the decision before things gets too late.
Because regrets won't change anything! Always put that in mind.
So the story was about the new parents. They are both first time in parenthood and they are living independently. Which means, away from their parents.
One day their child got a fever, just like me they did some observations first before sending their child to the hospital. They thought the fever will gonna subside one's it take the medicine. But after three days, their child's fever didn't subside so they decided to bring their child to the hospital.
However on their way to the hospital, the old lady from their neighbor asked them where they were going, and they said they will be going to the hospital as their child has a fever. This old lady told them that they should not bring their child to the hospital because for sure the doctor will gonna give the baby an antibiotic. Antibiotics is bad for infants, as it may possibly affects the baby's brain. That's what the old lady says. She suggested to bring back their child to their home and just do the medication there, as she was sure that the fever will subside soon.
The new parents trusted the old lady, and they went back home that day. But, unfortunately the next day their child had a seizure. They immediately rush their child to the nearest hospital and they find out that their child has bacterial infection. The doctor did his best to save the baby. However the bacteria had already reached the baby's brain and it leaves some effect to the development of their child. The doctor told them that if they immediately bring their child to the hospital, it won't gonna happen as they can prevent the bacteria to spread.
So both of them feel guilty, and both of them are regretful as they listen to the word of mouth of their neighbor.
Lesson learned?
Closing thoughts
As I have said, it's okay to ask for some suggestions and help, but if the concern is about our child's safety and it's health don't just refer to the word of mouth.
However I know for somehow that the word of mouth sometimes helps, but sometimes it only makes the situation worst. So better ask the experts and regret none later.
Thank you for reading.
