As the days get darker sooner and the cold weather comes creeping in. We are left vulnerable to the common cold and viruses.
And no matter how hard we try to keep them at bay with good hygiene and wrapping up warm. There is always the possibility of coming down with something.
What’s even worse than catching something yourself, is seeing your poor little munchkins catching it.
Now I don’t know about you but when this happens I’m left feeling useless, overwhelmed and stressed! I constantly find I’m questioning myself more than ever… Am I doing this right? Am I doing everything I possibly can for them? Which often leaves me feeling like the worst mother in the world, as I find myself unable to cope with my sick children .
Is that normal?????
Oh gosh and then there is the added torture of sleepless nights. Because sick children = NO SLEEP! *cries*
With an inability to focus and me feeling barley functional.
This is when I find life becomes most treacherous and when every day tasks become pure torture.
Do you ever feel this way when your little ones are sick? Or are you amongst the lucky ones who who are a proper Florence Nightingale?
