Just that really. The darling child is almost certain to be an only and is now 14 months, I've gone back to work three days a week and she is going to a wonderful outdoorsy nursery on two of those days. She got a horrid cold after settling and after only one week she's got another one and now ear pain as well, out of hours GP this morning after a pretty sleepless night and anticipating another.
So yes, that's it really, I feel terrible that my super healthy, smiley, hungry for her food, bouncing babe is a snuffling tearful little scrap of incoherent, off her food, humanity, just so I can go back to work and keep a toe on the ladder and a fabulously convenient job, close to home with child friendly hours.
How long does it last that they get one bug after another and is there anything I can do to help her? She can't live on calpol and antibiotics until spring! If necessary I will pack it in and we'll cope but I'd like her to have the social time, particularly as no other children in the family and we couldn't afford that if I don't work.
Ugh, apologies if melodramatic, now in bed myself with apparently blow torched sinuses!!! Any words of wisdom (particularly magic immune boosting potions) very gratefully received!
