It took four long days and nights covered in snot and splatter with cough spit from my body to surrender to the cold that my baby had.
So who looks after the mum?
No.one.
With a pounding head, with every muscle in my body aching, with razor blade throat & horse cough I still had to carry on and fight another day of parenting.
You want a packet of chips for breakfast, here you go, sure I’ll leave ABC KIDS running all day while you also play the ipad way long then recommended by Susan and while we’re at it, it’s McDonalds chicken nuggets for dinner. Today you need to survive on your own because mama is just going to lay in the corner and close her eyes while only god knows what you and your brother are up too while I’m suffering in pain and trying to work up the energy to move.
A good night sleeps and antibiotics worked like a treat and returned to a half human by the following morning where zeros fucks were still given to allow me to fully recover.
