Not It.
3 Years, 2 Months ago

My kids got along fairly well in the health category this winter until this week. My daughter had a monkey bar accident and ripped up her finger and my son caught the old high fever gripe. Four days of missed school and counting. We are a dual income family so one of us has to stay home from work. My wife took the first three days and now I've got nursing duty. How do you fellas manage the stay with the kids split?

My wife is a teacher and I'm able to pull some hours of work at home, so I get sick days 98% of the time. It' smuch harder for a teacher to take a day off and not have it effect a whole lot of people.<br><br>Hope y'all get to feeling better soon.<br><br>BTW - I don't know that the tag nursing is meant for this type of nursing, do you? :o)

I'm in a similar boat, but my wife took one for the team this week. I skipped the spelling year in school that's probably why I'm not an astronaut. I said lunch!

We actually just went through a full week of this in our house. The 5 year old had the flu and we're still transitioning with a 4wk old newborn in the house. I'm the primary source of income in our home, so I have to be more available to work. However, I'm a WAHD, so I could flex things a bit to spell my wife all of the sick kid management.<br><br>Mostly it meant later nights for me taking extra shifts with the newborn so my wife could get more uninterrupted sleep to get through the days with both kids in the house. Hang in there!.
