A Few Things You Should Pass on to Other Mothers:
1.Your favorite recipes
2.Great deals at local stores
3.Homeschooling ideas (if you homeschool, of course)
4. Funny anecdotes about your kids
5. General support, a listening ear, a meal if needed, etc. etc.
Things You Should NOT Pass on to Other Mothers:
1. Unsolicited advice
2. Your family's stomach bug
Both of these you should keep AT HOME, especially the second one, because the effects last much longer. I can politely reject your advice, but there's nothing I can do with the blessing of a stomach bug - except, that is, alot of a laundry. It will also deprive me of sleep and will trap me in my home with sick and probably cranky children for at least a week. I can think of so many things I would rather endure than a stomach bug, so please, please, PLEASE...keep this one to yourself.
I should add, for one friend's sake - you know who you are! - that if I know the risks of helping you out during a stomach bug "epidemic" and accept them anyway, I don't hold you responsible if we happen to get it. ;-)
It's the surprise germ attack of which I currently moan and groan. *sigh*

You know that I'm still sorry for that one...six years later!
Hope everyone is feeling better now.
