Just need some advice...
My SD (12 y.o.) just been on the phone as she sometimes comes on Sat and stays the night. DH is working late (11-ish) and although I usually tell her to get dropped off anyway tonight I asked her to come on Wed instead as she sounded completely full of cold coughing and sneazing and loaded.
My DD (14 m.o.) recovered from her cold week ago and she is due her MMR on Thu (so that was my reason to ask SD to come next Wed)
Now I feel horrible
Another thing is, as SD comes I have to invent some entertainment for her as on Sat DH plays golf and after that and 70-hours week he just collapses on the sofa oblivious to anything apart from food and cup of tea
So, how bad am I?

I tell you what I do.... I make arrangements to go out. No word of a lie, I arrange - on purpose, to pick up a friend, go out and let my hair down. Stay over at a mates or family... if not, then invent one... stay at a hotel/b and b, have a break!!

Do it - you won't regret it... neither will he or sd. They too need time together. It's just that they have got into a routine and need a kick up the proverbial... this will do the trick!!
