[quote=Anonymous]If the kids are still well, they continue going to daycare and DH handles everything after work, same as if I were out of town. I do the same when he is sick or out of town. We've gone through a few rounds of flu or other viruses this way. I get it's a lot harder for a SAH parent who doesn't have regular daycare. It's only really bad when one or both parents AND a kid are sick at the same time, so they can't go to daycare. One memorable occasion was when DH, our 3yo and I all got food poisoning. We also had a 6mo, who by virtue of breastfeeding rather than eating the same food we ate, got away without getting sick. The problem, of course, was that meant DH and me dealing with a sick toddler and a breastfeeding infant while we were both puking our guts out. Thankfully it didn't last long. TV, puke bowls next to the couch, and all three of us sleeping in the living room so we could trade off duties to whoever wasn't puking at the moment.[/quote]
