To be fucking sick of kids illnesses

[antyparty]

This past week my DD had a vomiting bug fri night so zero sleep and I do mean zero all weekend. Sunday night we found out she has worms again for the second time in ten weeks.
Then weds when she was finally well enough to go back to nursery I got a phone call midway through the day to say she had a high temp and to collect her.
I've taken all my annual leave for the year, so nothing left for Xmas, spent this week deep cleaning the house after this bout of worms and am having to go to work as soon as DH gets home from work as I WFH and can do flexi time so I have to make up two full days somehow. We can't afford for me not too.
DH has used all his dependency days already this year, we have no other childcare and as he earns a lot more and can't flex his hours the rest falls to me.
We are utterly exhausted and I just hate being a parent at the moment.
We are a really clean household and I'm spending the whole fucking day following her round checking her hands are being washed regularly so I'm at my wits end and starting to resent her, which I appreciate is unfair but she is so grubby and has endless energy or is constantly whining.
When does this shit end?

1. You're sleep deprived which makes everything feel like crap.
2. The grubby little monsters have phases where it's one thing after another. These phases are temporary. Try to keep telling yourself this when it feels too much at times.
3. Can you get any compassionate leave from work? These phases are so hard - no harm in asking.
4. It will get better. I promise.
5. If all else fails, gin.

How old is she? It does get better, they still get ill but it’s less often and sleep gets a bit better!

Unfortunately not as my dad died in the summer and I had two weeks compassionate leave and they will slow me to flex hour or take unpaid

@TeaKitten
Just tuned four a week ago. We seem to escape last year and are paying for it now

You're on mission 'get through it'.
If Christmas starts to loom, make things as easy and pre-prepped as you can (budget allowing). Christmas ain't perfect but we bust our asses trying to make it so - it ain't.
Just do what you can and leave the rest until a) you feel more human or b) the gin kicks in.
I feel you... remember "this is temporary "

Oh, and never, under any circumstances, miss the chance to nap. EVER

It's no help but my daughter was the same. She is 10 now and a bit of a germaphobe and always washes her hands but as a younger kid she admits now that she would pick her bottom and put her fingers in her mouth etc..she always had worms. It will get better as she gets older

This too shall pass 💐

Now her nursey won't take her in as it has to be 48 after she has had a temperature. Getting behind a joke
