Being unwell

So me my LO and now my husband have all been unwell, tested for Covid but negative not that it matters anymore anyway. Is it just me or is it normal to really find the motivation and keep your LO busy when you have all been unwell, I’ve not taken him to soft play or toddlers recently as I don’t want bugs passed on, so we have gone walks, and stayed in, but I still can’t help and feel guilty? We have had more screen time than usual and he has spend time at his grandparents. What I’m trying to say is… is it ok to have days where your having down days?

Yes, its absolutely 💯 okay

Rest is important, especially when ill. We have cuddly days under a blanket, watching TV and reading books etc. The problem is when you're ill but your kids are feeling fine as they don't want to let you rest 🙈 But yes, totally ok to have down days. My eldest hardly ever went to toddler groups and he's fine. I take my youngest to one as we have a nice one close by but he's just as happy (if not more so) playing with his brother at home so I don't mind if we miss it.

Absolutely. We're not ill at all but we had a really rough morning and just spent the rest of the day lounging around as much as you can with a toddler 😅
