Agh! Just want to moan really. Two DC under 5 and me have all been ill this week. DC1 started last Friday and isn’t much better. Temps are now staying down but still super snotty and coughing up a lung. DC2 started on Tuesday night same. Temps cough snot. I started Tuesday night too. Flu like symptoms. Went to bed early to try and sleep off. Wednesday literally couldn’t move. Thursday chest feels awful everything hurts can’t keep my temp down. Saw Dr I have a chest infection and given antibiotics.

everyone is still feeling shit now. To make matters worse DH had to take wed and thurs off to look after DC as I was too ill and I was off work too obviously so now we’re going to loose a lot of money in December pay packet as we’ve have to take 4 days off unpaid. 😩 DC are hard work as they obviously feel like crapp but getting calpol etc into them is a battle.

I just want us all better!

Hey just want to say same here. It’s so exhausting and feels never ending. Ours have already been off from nursery so much and we have only just started the winter bug season!
I don’t want to have to clean up any more vomit at 3am!
