In a strange twist of events…

The scent of tiger balm oil and bengay make my stomach turn, I’ve thrown up twice already

I have used tiger balm, I have used bengay I’ve never used these two together and my stomach isn’t liking it,

Just a few more days and my aunt will be gone, meanwhile I can’t ask her not to use the things that make her feel better
And I can’t really open the windows because she says she’ll catch a chill and the last thing I need is for her to get sick and then I’ll be at fault 😔

But your health is important too. 🥺
Maybe she and you can be in different rooms? 🥺

@Classified I can smell it everywhere in the house
It’s not like I can confine her to the bedroom even so it’s right across the hall from me

@KaysHealingPath Does something like a scented candle help then? To cover it? 😥

@Classified it makes the nausea worse. I tried that 😭😭

@KaysHealingPath 😭😭😭
I'd almost recommend you catch covid19 for the symptom that removes your smell and taste. 😥

@KaysHealingPath Those few more days can't pass fast enough. 🥺

@Classified I feel horrible but this is the only time I’ve been really irritated with her during her stay.

Maybe because she didn’t get the big hint that I didn’t want anyone staying with us when we brought the baby home but she insisted she was coming to help, and then she slept in till 10 almost every day

By the time she was up I had already gotten up, showered, made my breakfast shake, taken my meds and was making myself brunch and had fed the baby 2x.
🤦🏻‍♀️
Her presence only made it so my husband went back to work early and I had to do everything myself (I needed help standing up and he wasn’t there to help so I had to struggle to get up) all after a c section 🤦🏻‍♀️

@KaysHealingPath That's not helping, that's freeloading. 😩
Does she at least make a genuine attempt to help after she wakes up?

KaysHealingPath · 36-40, F

@Classified no 😔

@KaysHealingPath 😩
Hopefully your private time with your little one won't be interrupted like this anymore after she's gone back to her own place again. 🥺
