to ask what you do with dc when your ill

[likesnowflakesinanocean]

I feel like hell. faint,dizzy, eyes are really sore and whole body generally aches. am on my own with ds, Noone to have him overnight dp working, dad working, grandparents too frail.if I still feel so bad do I drag myself to school, wait till someone is home even if he is late. never felt so ill before

How old is he?

he's 5

Keep him home with you if getting to and from school is too hard. Then, TV is your friend.

Is there someone who could pick him up and take him to school then drop him back to you?

they could do but it wouldnt be till about eleven. currently in bed with fans on and a flannel on my head

Sounds rotten, I hope you feel better soon

He can miss a bit of school if you aren't onto taking him, just rest and keep your fluids up.

I'm tempted but we are really struggling money wise and missing a night would be a lot to lose. sucks! ds being good though.

Do you know any other mums who coulp pick up on the way to school? I've had friends pick up mine for me before now. Put a shout out on facebook if you're on it? I'm sure people would be happy to help even if you don't know them too well - i know i would. I generally prefer my kids as far away from me as possible if i'm feeling ill so i can sleep without cbeebies in the background but I know it's not always possible. Otherwise just stock up on snacks and drinks for your little one (won't hurt him for a day) and stick some dvd's on.

currently have cat in the hat on can't believe how not so discreetly rude it is will ask on fb thanks .

dp being epic arse rung on break saying oh why is he sat in our room, because its cooler and I can keep an.eye on him. why didn't you have a proper tea er cause I feel really ill. why aren't you speaking I may aswell go cause can't hear you. epic rant, would be more rational if not wanting to cry .

My dp is utterly useless the very rare time Im ill. I normally dope myself up with medication & keep going.

Its got to the stage once or twice where i couldn't get them to school...he still didn't take aday off!

its v frustrating when just a hope yoi feel better give me a ring if need be would suffice. feel worse thought maybe hayfever symptoms but whole body aches and heads like its in a vice

Is he normally such a wanker?

no is normally fab when ill not sure why he was such a tool

How far away is the school? If you can bear to try and take him then at least you will have the day to go back to bed and sleep without having to worry about what he is doing. Take medication and hope it kicks in enough to allow you to get the the school and back.

took painkillers and usual hayfever stuff nothing seems to be having any effect. think family member is going to pick him up if I'm too bad

school maybe 15 minutes walk, then back. god its pathetic but struggling to walk from bed to bathroom without legs giving in

Get a taxi,yeah!
