SAHM Calling In Sick

if not then i dont no what to suggest apart from do what you have to do and dont feel guilty for not doing as much as you do when you are well

I hear ya! I have been a sahm for the past 16 yrs ~ also a wahm. I run a daycare, so I can never call in sick either. Isn't it funny how we just keep going on whether we are sick or not. It's what we have to do! No advice, just rest when the baby is resting and try to get to bed early tonight.

Bless your heart. It sounds to me that a ministry was born with this post. I'm going to call my church and suggest that we offer day care for SAHMs who are too sick to deal with kids. If you worked outside the home, you could surely call in sick. As a SAHM you should have some options.

I know how you feel I was just recently sick as a dog and on top of it my baby was too. All she wanted to do was cry. I felt so bad for being sick and her being sick. She also teething. Had an ear ache. Didn't want to sleep cause she could breath very well when she sleeped. The only advice I have is if you have someone that will watch the baby for you for little bit that might be a thought. That way the baby don't get sick too. Happy Mylotting!!!!

I would hope maybe you had a relative or a close girlfriend to help you out. I understand some of them may have their own kids, or maybe their own jobs, but I wish every stay at home mom had someone to back them up on a day when they really should be out of commission and in bed resting.

If I have a sick day I have a sick day. I can't call a sitter so me and sonny boy stay in the living room and watch movies, or I take him out to the fenced back yard and sit while he plays on his bike and with his dog. One day isn't going to stop the world. Long as me and my man are ok with it, no prob. If mommy gets too sick then what happens, sometimes you just need to rest girl! Take it easy, if yir sick, yir sick.
