I have worked for a great family for five and a half years. Title is a little misleading but these are great parents, very involved with their kids and generally great people.

3F had a bad cold last week and woke up one morning with teary red eyes that were oozing a ton of thick gunk.

MB HATES the sick side of the pediatricians office so she decided to use antibiotic drops they had on hand from a previous eye infection, rather than risk exposure to a worse illness.

Turns out they were the dad's drops and the dosage was one in each eye every 3 hours. I found this out only after we started them- I thought they were for 3F or one of the other children. To be fair, grandma is a retired nurse and MB did talk to her about this once she started it and grandma advised that we do consistently for 5-7 days.

3F hated the drops, but her eyes improved by that afternoon and were completely normal by the next day.

We continued the drops for the rest of the week (four days). I was gone Monday and Tuesday but it is clear today that the infection is coming back in one of her eyes. DB admitted to me this morning that they did not complete the full course of drops.

DB is talking about restarting the drops, still without having 3F seen by a doctor.

I am deeply uncomfortable with this. It would have been one thing if it cleared up the first go round but the fact it came back makes me very nervous, as does the fact that this antibiotic was prescribed to an adult originally.

I already told DB this morning that I really feel strongly that she should be seen and he told me to "mention it to MB."

I don't want to get into a confrontation with them but short of refusing to participate by refusing to do the drops myself, I can't think of a way to lay down a boundary on this.

To compound everything, they are leaving on a ski trip Friday and 3F has school tomorrow. 3F is going to grandparents for the trip.... I can hope they bring her in I guess??

Advice appreciated.
