I remember one Christmas my youngest she went through every bed all the bedding and towels we all ended up sleeping on my bedroom floor with opened up sleeping bags my house was like a laundry/Sauna for a week because once one gets sick everyone gets sick my 2 dogs were both ill too it was the crappiest week of my life , single parent with no parents or family to help I remember this as one of my lowest points
I feel for you, I really do. Chicken pox hit my eldest two when my youngest was 9 days old too. I have no family nearby, my husband was working away, it was the week between Christmas and new year, I was 9 days post c-section, I had two children itching and crying and puking, one of whom is non verbal, asd, spd, ocd (his paediatrician lives a 3 letter abbreviation
) a new baby, the tv was full of perfect family Christmas shite and I just wanted to cry but I couldn’t because I worried if I started I wouldn’t stop and I didn’t want the midwives to see how crappy it all was.
Anyway, wasn’t meant to be a pity party, I just wanted to say I hear ya! Nothing quite so isolating as sick kids,
No help and it all being a bit
tit is there.
