This is what another mum asked me today!
It's school holidays so my other three school age kids (ages 10,7 &4) are at home plus I have a 5 month baby. Last weekend I had mastitis and still don't feel fully recovered - feel tired out. My ds age 2 goes to a childminder for a few hours a day and during this time I get all my jobs done that are difficult or impossible with having to keep an eye on a two year old. Ourfamily live a days travel away and so my dh & me do everything for our children ourselves.
I should to ask her the same question, as she only has a five month baby to look after - but I'm not as rude as she is.
