[quote=Anonymous]I was unexpectedly hospitalized when my kids were 2 and 5, I’m a SAHM and my MIL flew in the next morning and stayed for a week. We are very lucky she is retired and we could afford a last minute plane ticket. I have had other less severe but still awful illnesses and really horrible morning sickness with my third pregnancy. I asked for help from friends and neighbors - they took the kids to school and practices. Lots and lots of screen time and relaxed rules - unlimited snacks on the couch in front of the TV for the toddler while I threw up all day every day for weeks. I used Uber eats for meals and had groceries delivered. Had to call a friend once to come over in the middle of the night when DH was traveling and I had food poisoning and passed out and had to go to the hospital. I’m very thankful for our community and always try to help out with child care and meals whenever I can, because I know some days I am the one who needs help! [/quote]
