To ask single parents

[Matronic6]

Or anyone with experience, what do you do when you are sick but your toddler is well???

I need all the tips so here for traffic. I feel awful, terrible headache, temp, my torso feels super sensitive any touch feels sore, nausea, chills (despite the temperature) just had a bath at 38' and it felt cold.

Problem is DC 3 is with me on Thursdays and DH has a very important presentation/conference so is leaving at 6am and won't be back till Friday evening. So I'm completely on my own.

Any advice on easy keeping busy activities are welcome.

It's the worst. Only survivable with all day TV and snacks. I used to put a dust sheet on the floor with plastic cups full of flour, water, sugar, and let them at it (afterwards just tie the four corners together and chuck).

Sorry to see I came in late, really glad you survived!

Glad you made it through! It sucks but hopefully you’re feeling better now. Just adding a tip in case someone else sees this in the same position. Bucket of water, paint brushes and a garden fence. My twins spent ages doing that when I was battling a migraine laying on the garden sofa with dark sunglasses and a bowl to be sick in.
