7 month old baby has got a virus and been very grumpy all week still is. I’ve also now got the virus along with extreme period and pain. He’s self employed so worked over the bank holiday and the Saturday then been busy all week with work. All week I’ve been looking forward to a bit of help on Saturday afternoon after he’s finished work. He then got offered to do something he loves to do but never can. I know how hard he’s worked this week and does in general so really want him to have some time to do this hobby. when he said this morning he wouldn’t go if I didn’t want him to he would stay home and help out I said yes please. He works so hard so i feel awful but I’ve been on my knees all week and just need someone to tag team with me for a bit.

Also he’s very helpful when home does do most of bedtime but he’s not home for until bedtime and it doesn’t take long.

I don't think so, if you have been looking after a sick baby all week, and are now sick yourself it sounds like you need a rest

I’m very sorry, but this sounded like your 7 month old is self-employed. I was thinking goodness me they are getting them out to work young these days.
seriously though OP, I hope you get some rest, somehow, and feel better soon!

Thank you @Eenameenadeekaits so hard when you are in the sick baby trenches both working extremely hard at work or with baby. He’s also text to say he’s now started coughing and sneezing so I think he’s caught it too. Looks like it’s a lazy afternoon for all of us. We both need a break and struggle to find the time but it’s definitely something we are working on.
