@omnifam Yes, I definitely learned something! And after putting myself in her shoes, I can see how hard it would be to speak up. I couldn’t have told my parents. BUT if I were her - in the age of technology that we’re in - I at least would have researched how to get rid of it! Maybe she did…...

@joshuaaa You are totally right! She was definitely afraid to tell me because of my reaction. I hate that I made her feel like it was easier for her to live with this than tell me… things are better now that we’ve talked (and since she’s taken the medication). Thanks so much!

@emeryz Thank you so much for the perspective. Personally I had never encountered this so I didn’t realize it was so common until today. I am a little relieved!

@sadpaanda Thank you so much for the advice! We are working on washing everything now, and I’ll come up with an alternate reason for the medicine. Great idea.

My (15f) daughter approached me this morning, very nervous and fidgety. She said she had something really important to tell me and it would take a moment for her to collect her words. Then she said, “Mom… I think I might have worms.” I (40f) was in disbelief at first, thinking it’s too uncommon…...
