well new year and lots illness about.....
thought time we had a place to share advice/support and somewhere to talk other things all getting to much

Mumofjust1 - you're trying, you're not a failure.

Having horrendous day, dd has highest temp she's ever had and medicine isn't doing much. She's only 16m so took her too ooh but they said virus which presumably means ds will catch it and miss yet more bloody school. He has friends coming for tea this week too, one tomorrow so I have to do that whilst dealing with dd, dh is working obviously, can't reschedule as ds not liking school at min and he's been really looking forward to this. I'm so tired and my head is aching and I know therell be no sleep for me tonight. Feel like shit mum thinking of myself :( also always worry when kids are ill anyways but when dd is ill I worry in case something terrible happens and it'll be my fault cos though I loved her from day 1 we didn't bond immediately in the same way ds and I did.

Sorry for offloading.

Thanks liveinazoo and left x x

Hugs to you both and sorry your little ones are unwell x

We're all trying our best, which is all we can do - and being up all night with sick kids is exhausting, so don't be too hard on yourselves.

Hope they're all right as rain very soon xx

are you and insomniac to mum?

i had crap dreams kids be sick.hideous.feeling very anxious today and finding it ahd to get going and have a strong urge to keep them at home,for us all to stay in.

how do you keep going out when you are struggling?

I just power through it and try and imagine someones watching me - I know that sounds stupid but I mean like supernanny or my mum or someone equally judgemental!

Dd up all night. Poor thing.

how olds your dd and whats wrong?
i up again my dd2 earache-its more uncomfortable than excruciating but at night theres nothing to distact her from it so she wakes.im sooo tired.she off to the dr tonight.hoping at least for some answers!

Liveinazoo - I'm not an insomniac, I have an elderly dog who wakes me up at all hours, and when I can't go back to sleep I browse here!

I'm feeling bad today - had to leave work 10 mins early as I felt so sick and got so panicky my boss is aware that I suffer with anxiety and panic, and have been great so far.

If I'm having a bad day, it's a struggle, but I have to work or I have no money. I have got a high sickness rate but I have migraines which account for most of my absences.

I used to find it hard sometimes to get my dd to primary school - some mornings I was rigid with panic and could hardly talk to her. I felt absolutely awful about it. It was better once I learned to drive though.

Dd is almost 16 months. She's got a feverish cold. Ds off school with fever too :(

Soooooooooooooooo tired.

Gave her calpol and she was sick 1/2 hour later, will it have had time to work?
