[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been a parent for 8 years and have never been truly ill since I had kids. It is one of my biggest fears is being super sick and stuck in bed and having to take care of young kids. I probably haven't been super sick in over 15 years and that was when I was living abroad.

If you are truly sick what do you do?  Does your spouse handle everything? What if they have to work?  [/quote]

Your spouse stays home from work.  And yes, they handle everything!  How is this even a question?!

We've had a few stomach viruses rip through the house.  My 3 year old went down first, I stayed with her for the afternoon, but by evening I was sick too.  My DH got the 1 year old in bed and stayed with the 3 year old all night on the couch while she puked and slept.  I was upstairs throwing up alone.  In the morning, I had stopped throwing up but felt like death.  I literally crawled downstairs to lay on the couch next to my 3 year old while my DH got the 1 year old up, breakfast and took him to daycare.  Then my DH started throwing up.  He spent the day in bed upstairs, I stayed with the 3 year old.  My mom picked up my 1 year old and dropped him off.  We struggled through the night time routine and the next day we were all much better.  1 year old never got it.

You do what you gotta do and your partner OF COURSE HELPS.[/quote]
