[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - I have 3 young kids (8 years old and younger) and DH works SUPER long hours. I know he could probably take off if I was like in the hospital sick but I worry about what would happen if I am just a stomach virus sick. [/quote] Assuming your 8 year old is neurotypical, they should actually be able to handle quite a bit themselves. If they don’t know how to make a frozen waffle, get cheese sticks for themselves and their siblings, etc — you should work on that. If you are sick, your hsuband should take off work. But if you were really in a pinch, I think between TV and your eight year old, you could make it work.[/quote] My 8 yo would love to turn into "mom" for a day and boss some young sibs while the real mom is out of commission.[/quote]
