And when the mother is not feeling great either - you do the best you can.

One of my daughter's favourite anecdotes of childhood is how she managed to pull the wool over my eyes re her cough/cold/bad tummy etc., for a whole week, the little minx. And as for her brother, looking back he should have gone to RADA.<BR/><BR/>Sick days shouldn't be too much fun, or they'll become far too chronic, believe me.

Probably you do have an overcrowded schedule and you just need a little bit of down time and some time to catch up with yourself. <BR/><BR/>I think young mothers nowadays have it tougher than when I had my kids. So much is expected of them and there are only so many hours in the day and there is only so much energy to go around. <BR/><BR/>Hope you get a bit of a breather soon.

The root of all my problems is not sick children, but trying to work too many hours and never having any time at home to get stuff done without the children around, except after 9pm. But enough moaning already ...Gone Back Southhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01391620186388562057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-452466976081063843.post-83391372942190955892008-02-29T03:31:00.000+00:002008-02-29T03:31:00.000+00:00I am way beyond the days when my kids were little,...I am way beyond the days when my kids were little, so I can't say too much about cranky children when they are sick, because I have selective amnesia and have forgotten everything that was disagreeable and I only remember harmony and peace.<BR/><BR/>I wish to stay in that state of mind forever, no matter how any blogs I read that point out the contrary.<BR/><BR/>I will not give you any advice, because we all must blunder along as we do and make it up along the way. I am sure that, like any young motther, you are getting bombarded by "good" advice from the experts through the media on any given day a dozen times over. <BR/><BR/>You hang in there and don't be to tough on yourself.

I hope you all get to feeling better. If you're sick tomorrow, maybe y'all should just make a nest in the bed and watch movies all day.
