We hosted an exchange student from Northern Ireland when I was in high school through the Ulster Project (7 Catholic kids and 7 Protestant kids where matched with families of the same faith in an effort to build peace) and she got a horrible sunburn. All the Irish kids did, but hers blistered up like your brother's did.Alex Elliothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08567976812466320977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32453088.post-44728409790235369922007-06-18T20:41:00.000-04:002007-06-18T20:41:00.000-04:00I'm not really into sunscreen.

He had a tan, though, and was often in his pool at home. His parents gave me no special instructions. When we got to the beach, I slathered sunscreen on all three boys. We were only there about an hour, but this boy got very sunburned. Apparently his swimming had removed the sunscreen. (I have children with scandinavian skin, as I have myself. I have never used suncreen on them, but they are southern californians. And so was this boy.) ANYWAY, I didn't know he got burned. I talked with his mother the next day and she ripped me a new asshole. I advised her that I had put sunscreen on him, even though NO ONE had asked me to do so. And if he had more sensitive skin than that required, he should be old enough to know that. (He is thirteen.) She overreacted so harshly that I decided never to have her son over again, simply because she was CRAZY and what if something serious ever happened while he was in my care? What would she do then??<BR/><BR/>It is important to teach children to make sure they have it on, even when around adults who are not used to the routine. You seem to be doing a fun job of that! :)cathouse terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02547258612468286876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32453088.post-65779174973677609752007-06-17T00:34:00.000-04:002007-06-17T00:34:00.000-04:00I just tend to avoid sunlight when ever possible. ...I just tend to avoid sunlight when ever possible.

I am vigilant about getting it slapped on the kids and also onto my husband's forehead, but I often forget myself. Usually just part of myself, like I will get my face protected but forget my shoulders, or I will do my shoulders but miss my chest. <BR/>I probably just need a Mom to follow me around reminding me to slip, slap, slop! <BR/>Yeah, I think that's what I need indeed.Jenn in Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02356887577439040747noreply@blogger.com
