DD is on her 7th night throwing up

[Katymac]

The Dr said it was gastro-enteritus & that she would take a while to get better

Do I take her back to the GP?

Do I let her go to school (she wants to go)?

Do I keep her off (day 5 off school)?

Do I shove her head down the loo for lying to me (not saying she had been sick at 11am this am so I let her eat lunch)?

I would keep her off, you can't send her if she's sick can you, what if she's sick at school?

I would take her back to the docs.

I'm a crap mother aren't I
I need a full nights sleep

OK off school
Back to Dr's
No head down loo

I wish she wouldn't lie

You're a fab mother, she shouldn't lie do you think head down the loo would work?

nothing else does

I'm crap it's almost 10pm and I havent got off my arse to do anything at all since tucking dd1 in bed at 7.45 the dishwasher needs emptying and re-stacking i haven't even wiped the table the dinner plates are still there.........ohhhh i cant be bothered but mindee will be here at 7.45 i really need to sort it out!

Katymac, you're not a crap mother. Your DD has been sick for 7 days. You're harrassed and loving and tired. God, I'd be going up the wall...

Poor you and poor her.

The hardest thing is keeping her away from the other children

The Dr has said it isn't catching - it is apparently a virus (so is a cold & you can catch that)

She is only allowed upstairs and in the lounge

Kitchen/playroom are out of bounds

Bloody minding

I was thinking today the only reason i wont carry on minding for a very very long time is the impact it has on my homelife, it has many benefits but sometimes it feels the downsides outweigh the good sides.
