[quote=Anonymous]I got a stomach virus last year that was very bad and had me out of commission. My husband took care of everything including our 2 year old. He has a very demanding job but when there's a virus going around our house, I don't feel it's fair to hire outside help like a nanny or ask a friend/family for fear they'd get sick too. Being truly sick is one of the occasions where your partner has to take the full 100% load and you shouldn't feel bad about it. We both got sick with a stomach virus once when our kbaby was only a few months old. It was AWFUL. That said, we took turns. I got it first so I went through the peak earlier and he took care of the baby (in front of a TV) while I was dying on the bathroom floor. By that evening, I was through the worst of it and he was directly in it. We switched. [/quote]
