I have recently gone back to work after 5 years as a SAHM
We are all finding it hard adjusting, but were sort of coping....
Then illness struck! I have 6 kids, DH works full time in a dmenading job. I work 60% which is currently worked as Mon,Tue,Thur 9.15 to 2.30 and Weds 9-5
5 kids are at school (reception,Y2,Y4,Y6 and Y8) and the littlest (2 1/2) has started at a private nursery.
But for the last 2 weeks the littlest has been poorly on and off a LOT. Then Tuesday all 4 girls went down with a tummy bug...
Now I do think we have fairly healthy kids, they're not ill or off school often, but I am really struggling to know what to do when they are ill. So far DH has taken time off because I am still trying to make a good impression in my job as it is currently a temp contract that I amhoping will be made permenant! We have NO family nearby,and NO friends in a position to help. There really is absolutely no-one we could ask to help out in these situations. Obviously we can't keep taking days off when the kids are ill, but I just dont know what to do.
We have looked into the idea of a nanny instead, but think it will cost too much....
Today I am off because I also have stomach bug now, but I am just feeling overwhelemd and fed up!
So what do you all do when your kids are to ill for school/nursery/childminder???
