The Single Mom’s Sick Day Emergency Survival Guide
You know what to do when the kids get sick, but what happens when you get sick? You need a plan to make sure the house doesn’t totally fall apart, and here it is.
As I write this, I’m recovering from a cold. A cold seems like a rather minor illness, but as someone who doesn’t often get sick, even a minor cold can totally deplete me. Hit me with the flu, and I honestly feel like I’m dying. Fortunately, as my kids are getting older, they are much more self-sufficient. But I remember what it was like when they were smaller.
Single moms often have to scramble to figure out what to do when anything unexpected happens: their own illness, a kid getting sick, an injury, the sitter deciding to close for the day without warning. While you can’t prepare for everything, there are some things you can do to be ready for your own sick days.
This Single Mom’s Sick Day Emergency Survival Guide will help you get through the worst of your sick days without panicking that the world will fall apart without you.
And for you married moms? I know, you’re the center of the family. Kids bypass Dad to ask you for things. You can use this guide too. Just print it out, slap it in Dad’s hands and tell him…
