Sickness is the worst

[BigRedLondonBus]

Feeling sorry for myself. I have 4 children and I’m an absent parent, ex doesn’t see our kids and doesn’t want to. Hasn’t bothered at all in 2 years. I have a nasty vomit bug and so do all four of my children. Today and last night was awful. My children have vomited over literally everything and being ill myself I’m struggling to clean it all. I’m only starting to feel better after vomiting about 8 times but my head is pounding. I have no friends or family that will help. Honestly it’s times like this I feel so upset about my situation. What do you find the worst thing about being a single parent?

Ah poor you! I'm a LP also, although just to one, and in a similar state to you! DD was vomiting all weekend and today it's my turn. On top of that i also have a headache and some horrible period pains. I'm feeling stressed about work and generally sorry for myself. However I just have the one, so I truly empathise, it sounds horrendous. Chin up, hopefully we will feel better in a few days! x

Thanks for commenting, nice to know I’m not alone but horrible we are both in the same boat! I’m feeling ever so slightly better now I’ve got it all up and taken some paracetamol. Hope you’re feeling better soon also!

I was a lone parent to 2 young kids and we got an awful sickness bug. I lived remotely and my parents wouldn't even come and bring groceries in case they caught it. I feel you. X

Massive sympathy from me too. One of my life with DC lows was saying to my DS2 to hurry up and finish being sick as mummy needed to be sick too.

Severe noro virus with 3 young DC and a wonderful DP (all of us very ill) was bloody awful so yes on your own horrific, I would have felt vulnerable.

I really hope you start feel better soon.
