guilt
thought this would be the best place to post this. i was ill yesterday and most of today with some kind of viral thing. feeling quite sick and very lightheaded as well as completley exhausted. i phoned in sick and my oh made me phone my sil to come and get lo as usual but i couldnt help feeling guilty that i wasnt working but yet i still sent her to sil's. i know sil enjoys having her but she doesnt take anything for having her and i feel like i kinda used her if you know what i mean. my oh said that lo would just have run rings round me and made me sicker. im sure you mums know how i feel. i know there probably isnt much point to this topic but kinda had to get it off my chest. i spent the day feeling guilty about being sick and not looking after my lo.lol

Before I had Oakley and I just had the 2 girls they went to wraparound (which is like before/after school and nursery care in their school). Although I only worked part time I had to pay as if they were there full time to keep their places. When I was pregnant with Oakley I had a couple of days off during it when I was sick and I always put them in. Not just because it was paid for but because I needed the rest and time to get better.
Take care of yourself.
