SAHM... With 1 sick

How do you do it with two little ones and one is sick? My 3 yr old is sick and very clingy, but I also have a teething 14 month old who still is crawling and wants to be held or tries to hang on his sick brother. Only makes his brother more whiney. Right now they are both napping, but it'll be tough when they are up and it's just me. My sick boy wants to cuddle and watch tv and the baby will want to be held, fed and played with.

SAHM... With 1 sick

Both of my kids and myself are sick right now. They are both clingy and it's so hard. I have an almost 3 yr old and a 10 month old. I threw 2 big quilts on the ground with a bunch of pillows so we're just hanging out on the floor snuggling and watching tv. There are toys all over so they can play and he can crawl around. I have brought all our meals on the floor and my oldest loves that we're having picnics. HTH!

I don't have two yet but can you maybe set-up the sick child on the couch with his favorite TV show (or movie since it might hold his attention longer) and play in the same room with the younger one? I can only imagine how hard this is, I have a hard time entertaining one on many days haha. I hope your DS is feeling better soon!

Sounds easy, but the sick one wants mommy.

The good news is he's doing so much better. Just keeping them away from each other. They're watching way to much tv. Chat Icon
