I started a new job Monday. DS has been to nursery and, predictably, picked up a horrible cold already. Been up all night with him waking every 40 mins or so coughing, and I didn't really sleep between listening to the poor little boy hacking away.
He's streaming snot and has a bit of a temperature. Awake for the day now and he's flirting between manically overtired and sadly weepy.
Today he's supposed to go to his grandma for the morning but I suspect she will say she can't have him because underlying health concerns means colds should be avoided. His Dad could stay home from work with him but when he's I'll he always just wants me.
Should I take a day off, four days into my new job, and look after him? Let his Dad stay home and go to work for a rest (after so little sleep I feel shocking and will be shit at work mind you)?
What am I supposed to do here? This working mother routine is gruelling.
He's 1 months old btw.
