Snap: English Easter Bunnies Carry Huge Eggs!


Easter and chicken pox fall on the same weekend and the one is as fun as the other is a tearful itchy hell.

Me, too! Have you had chicken pox yourself, Alex? Otherwise that might cause some problems...

Chicken pox VACINE?? And here's me thinking getting them is a normal part of life that we all have to go thru and better at 2 than at 13 like me. Hell, I considered exposing her to them when she was but a year old, thinking the sooner the better! NEVER heard of a vacine. Here, everyone just gets them and has a week off work. Nursery. When I next see a doctor I will enquire.

No chicken pox/ measles/ rubella/ pertussis/ meningitis/ encephalitis/ mumps for my children. Even if we're usually a little late for vaccinations, they DO get them - eventually. Go and ask, Alex!

this is why the vaccine is NOT recommended.

Hello u poor, poor chick. Hope u are better. Egg looks fabulous, and so does the chick. Not so the chicken pox.

I remember we discussed this when Thomas got chickenpox - at least Tara does not appear to have spots in her hairline, her scalp and inner ears. Although unpleasant at any age it is better to catch whilst young - at least now she will be self vaccinated and I am sure the easter egg tasted just as good, if not better - nothing like a little bit of self indulgence to make one feel good inside - Janet

To spare my child a 'tearful itchy hell' is enough reason to me for vaccination. There are still plenty of other (new) illnesses they have to go through anyways.
