We have a 2 yo and a 5 yo. 2 yo has asthma triggered by colds with numerous a and e visits and started preschool in September. It has been a long winter with lots of illness and we are all ill again.
I called in sick to work yesterday as couldn't physically get there and MIL helped out. I don't work Fridays so on my own with the kids today.
DH has been ill too. He can just about get into work so is going in. He will never take a day off sick- he gets paid so not a money issue. He will now be ill all weekend. I am still ill and thr children are ill. He will continue to be run down next week and as the pattern all winter will pick something else up, pass it to the kids and we will be back to being up all night managing the 2yo asthma.
AIBU to think just take a day off and go to bed and have a chance to get better? He is the main income earner as I am part time so I wonder if that adds to the pressure but he would be more effective if not ill and tired all the time!
