Sick sick sick

I think one of the worst punishments for both parent and child is looking after them when you are sick!

This week both myself and my wife were sick, Renee went to work with the flu and I was looking after Pyper, I was sick and really not in the mood for running around chasing her, and having her scream at the top of her lungs with everything that she finds cute or not!

So what do you do when you have to look after a little person who may also be sick and you or your partner are in charge, and your sick also??

If you are really sick then you shouldn’t be looking after them at all. Call a friend or relative and ask them to come over? If they can’t then you should definitely ask your partner to help out. Possibly you might need ½ a day to recover and then they might be able to go back to work or if the job permits they possibly might be able to do it from home.

If none of these work out then you should seriously look at a baby sitter to look after them for the day, Its money well spent as you really should get better and if you can’t afford a baby sitter then look at trading a certain amount of time of babysitting for something else for example??

So always make sure that you take care of yourself first and then make provisions for your child, hopefully you both wont be sick at the same time.
