[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 131537, member: 2211"] Oh Sue, don't even get me started on the shower thing! When I was difficult child's age, I lived pretty much outside of my parents house - I stayed with friends, crashed at home once in a while. I worked full time and paid for all my needs. I even paid my parents rent. If I became ill, barring puking, I still went out, still drank, still worked, everything. However, I was clean and I didn't hang out with anyone who didn't work or just kicked back at mom's house all day and night. Things were different in that everything wasn't so danged expensive. By the time I was 19, I had my own place and made it. I definitely was not an angel, but I made it. I read on this board every day how most of our difficult children can't even be bothered. At least difficult child WILL go to work even if she doesn't WANT to so I should just shut up about that. Haha. Interesting about the bronchitis - my DR and allergist both have confirmed to me that you cannot catch the actual bronchitis. the have each said to me, generally, "You can catch the virus that caused the other person to have the bronchitis, but will only develop bronchitis if you have the propensity to do so, i.e, a weakend immunity system or pre-existing pulmonary conditions." Being an asthmatic my entire life, I almost always develop bronchitis....fortunately in recent years it isn't so bad because I take extra precautions once I feel the symptoms of bronchitis and I tend to nip it in the bud. difficult child has a tendency to develop bronchitis whenever she gets a chest cold. easy child usually sheds the infection within a couple of days. With difficult child and me, it lingers for at least 2 weeks. When I go back for my checkup in March, I'm going to run this by my DR to see what she says. Thanks for posting that. [/QUOTE]
