Cuddling or cleaning?

Your son may not remember the specific evening but the love and support you gave to him last night was worth the world to him because he needed you and you were there. You are building a bond of love and trust with your child that will last his entire life. When my kids were little there were many times when my house was a wreck. I recently had to remind my son-in-law that the state of his and my daughter's home is less important than the emotional welfare of their children. They have three...an 8 year old, a 3 year old and a 1 year old. There are many days when one or both of the little ones want my daughter's attention all day...won't take a nap...won't give her a break for a second...and those are the days she gives to them. Life is about priorities and, when you're a parent, your child is your priority, especially when he's little and isn't feeling well.

When my babies were that small, my house was not clean, now it is because they go to school four days a week, I clean when they are at school. they are only young once, your house will be there tomorrow. As long as the bugs are not carrying you away I would cuddle with the little one. He needs you right now. You did the right thing
