What did your parents get you when you were sick as a child?

[coachTanthony]

I would get comic books as a kid. How about you?

[beebella]

Besides medicine? Nothing. 😂

There was one time when I had the stomach flu on my birthday and the next day, my mom gave me this cute little beanie baby turtle. That's the only time my parents gave me anything when I was sick. 😅

[lillie_mie]

Aside from child-friendly herbal drinks prepared by grandma, chicken soup and medicine, wasn't given anything else special. Or maybe I don't remember.

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao no offense but how did comic books help a sick child? To keep you entertained? I likely slept all day and was just given medicine, food, water etc lol

[coachTanthony]

Something fun to read while in bed. Ow a days could be a video game or dvd

[DizzyDesii]

If i can play a game and read books am i truly sick? My mom wouldve sent me to school 🤣

[coachTanthony]

When you have the Flu, mom will bring the fever down and you will feel pretty good for a while, good enough to read a comic or watch a movie. They never sent me to school just because a fever broke lol

[DizzyDesii]

For me even if the fever broke, i wanted to sleep or talk myself back to sleep. I wasn't gonna get germs on my toys (the ones i had before getting sick)

[coachTanthony]

Ok lol

[jennifer_bloom]

I did not get gifts when I was sick, instead I got medicine and cleaning of my body parts. When I was in my 20s I got Gatorade when I had the stomach flu. Later I would buy myself peppermint and honey tea every week at school to protect myself from getting sick.

[yhuyyuy]

i have experienced the same

[Jamie05rhs]

What do you mean? People get prizes for being sick? Wtf. I hate you. (JK)

[coachTanthony]

It's called comfort items Jamie lol

[Jamie05rhs]

@coachTanthony It's called White Privilege. Lol

[coachTanthony]

I got the privilege of reading lot's of comics

[Jamie05rhs]

@coachTanthony Nice.

[sage2021]

Lipton chicken noodle soup that comes in a box. I loved it. I wouldn't get these cool board games and a new 👗 dress for my Barbie doll.
.

[exitseven]

My mother used to make that for me too.

[sage2021]

@exitseven - ahh 🥣, good mommies

[comekitty]

My mom always made 'sick toast" cut into triangles. Sick toast was reserved for only when I was sick and had cinnamon and sugar sprinkled on buttered toast. 🙂

[Dinklex3]

Just peppermint tea, lol.

My dad would sneak me McDonalds so that was nice.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

When you are sick you are sick & as a child when I was sick my parents got me cough syrup & gave me the remote control & the day or days off from school.

[ChiTown33]

7up and chicken noodle soup. Occasionally it was jello or sherbert. 🙂 I love my mom

[RobT312]

Nothing nice like that. I was given soup and lots of liquids like ginger ale

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

My mom (late) gave pop to try to settle my stomach because I had the stomach flu, but It made me worst, and I ended up spending the whole day on the couch.

[gothbxtch]

sailor moon on vhs (i was a kid at the end of vhs days, haha), hot lemonade, and chicken noodle soup!

[nolabels]

A doctor visit and then medicine if I needed it.

[Sparkie460]

Homemade chicken soup, ginger ale, tea, and cold medicine. I didn't get any gifts.

[LavLavLuv]

Medicines, homemade food, my fav chocolate milk lol

[OfMiceandMen]

Same... comic books. Maybe a Mad magazine.

[coachTanthony]

Yes mad mag was huge

[OfMiceandMen]

For sure, I may have to pick one up for old times sake. If they still issue them, I haven't looked to see if they are still available.

[XXblack88]

Besides being able to stay home from school just a popsicle.

[Keishio]

Extra homework incase I was faking it

[coachTanthony]

LOL.

[Pink2000]

Nothing at all.

[Anpu23]

I don't remember getting anything special.

[Agape93]

Tylenol, can soup and water.
