Feel so unwell and struggling with my 4yo

[WindowGazers]

Lone parent to a 4yo. Got a virus. It's floored me. Getting up at 8 to get him to nursery was painful after almost zero sleep (my smart watch told me I'd had 2 naps...). My chest feels like it's burning and I've also developed a UTI which I'm going to call GP about first thing. I just want to sleep. Stupidly didn't take the day off work as I was so worried about getting my report finished. Please send me your coping tips and drug recommendations (legal please 😂).

Well don’t go to work when your sick to start with! 😃Sucks being sick when you’re a lone parent

Have you got anyone who could help with the nursery run?

Sometimes it’s a toss up between struggling to do the nursery run to get some rest/alone time or whether you’d be better off just keeping your child at home - depends on the child and if they’ll sit and watch a film etc while you snooze on the sofa I guess.

Don't worry about anything you don’t absolutely have to do - no housework, get a takeaway or make basic meals, go to bed as early as you can.

Depending on your symptoms Beechams All in One is great!
