Micro-Resolution of the Day: Questionably-Sick Kid Guilt

This is an excerpt from my Dusting Off My Parachute Facebook Group – Learn more here.

This Wish ‘n Well Wednesday is brought to you by bed.

Bed: the place my son is since the headache he went to bed with last night was still there this morning.

I think my biggest luxury in life is that I have a schedule that permits me the flexibility to stay home with a sick, or even just potentially sick kid, when needed. It is not lost on me that probably the majority of moms don’t have the option to take the day off from work to tend to a sick kid or pay for childcare to have them stay home when they have sick-ish symptoms that may or may not be the real deal.

So, although my WELL reminder today is to take that time to rest, and let your kids rest, when their bodies need it, my WISH for you is that for those days when you’re not sure if your kid has a tummyache or a TUMMYACHE, don’t be tough on yourself when you get it wrong. (Coming from the woman who had her daughter ice a broken foot she thought was just sprained for two days.)

And I wouldn’t mind a few “wishes” that his headache is the flu in disguise.
